Published by Cambridge University Press, Experiencing the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict provides an in-depth study of communication interventions aimed at reducing intergroup bias among Israeli and Palestinian children. This analysis assesses how the target audiences receive and interpret such interventions, with the goal of offering recommendations for more effective and critical peace communication that take into account structural and narrative contexts as applicable beyond just the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
