United Nations
Resolution 476: "…‘reiterates’ that Israel’s claims to Jerusalem are ‘null and void’.
Resolution 252: "…‘declares invalid’ Israel’s acts to unify Jerusalem as Jewish capital".
Resolution 267: "…‘censures’ Israel for administrative acts to change the status of Jerusalem".

If you still have plans to put Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Make sure you tell your class it’s illegal.
If it is so "illegal" then how come the US recognizes Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel. The embassy has not been moved only because of a loophole in the law recognizing the capitol status.
Israel has a racist law which allows jews to become citizens but denies non-jews citizenship even if they’re family has lived there for generations.
Israel destroys homes of non-jews on a daily basis.
Millions of non-jews were kicked out of Israel when it was created so that it could have a jewish majority and qualify as a democracy.
Israel does not have any boarders and may expand to include your house (hope you’re jewish!)
Half of the population of Jordan has ancestors that were kicked out of Israel.
In the west bank, only jews may vote, non-jews are not considered citizens despite the fact they are ruled by laws constructed by israel.
Israel has made peace with only two of its neighbours, but they had to use violence to force israel to accept peace.
Israel as twice rejected comprehensive peace with the entire middle-east, since it would require Israel to comply with international law.
Israel is currently ruled by a terrorist group, the Irgun, which have renamed themselves the Lekud.
Israel is the only country in the world whose defacto capital is outside it’s internationally recognized boarders.
Israel is the only country in the middle east which has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and has over 200 nuclear weapons.
Israel has 3 official languages: Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Each language has a different alphabet!
Although Israel is a Jewish state, it accepts every religion. There is a big minority of Arabs (also called Palestinians), which is why Arabic is one of the official languages. These Arabs are mostly Muslims, naturally. They are full Israeli citizens, with the right to vote and hold office. There’s only one difference: they are not drafted into the IDF (Israeli military) so that there is no chance the would be forced to fight against friends and relatives living in neighboring lands. They can join the IDF if they want to, and a lot of them do. There’s also a small Christian minority.
There are many historical sites sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
