A Letter for Young Historians

Dear Young Historians,

Many of you have probably heard the adults in your life talking about the war unfolding in Israel and Palestine. The conflict between these communities is one with a complicated history and one we could not even begin to cover in a 64-page magazine. It is our hope that Honest History can provide a basic starting point for you to begin your own research into this topic and learn more about both sides.

This is not meant to be an all-inclusive history on the matter. There are many people, events, and moments in time that we could not include in this issue of the magazine. It is our hope that you can learn about the background of the hostilities and get a better understanding of why current events are progressing as they are.

This conflict is one that has caused pain for generations and continues to be a source of sadness for people around the world. But by learning about the past, we can try for a better future.

Keep up the research, young historians, and know that you can make a big impact on history today.
