Toronto District School Board "Lesson" For the Canadian Islamic Congress's Islamic History Month Canada: Naturally, There IS No Israel.


Toronto District School Board "Lesson" For the Canadian Islamic Congress's Islamic History Month Canada: Naturally, There IS No Israel.HT: Scaramouchee.

I found this info about "the State of Palestine" (capital: "Al Quds") via this link on the Toronto District School Board site: 

Location and Geography

Palestine is one of the most ancient regions in the Middle East. It is located in southwest Asia between 290 30? and 330 15? lines of latitude north of the equator and 340 15? and 350 40? lines of longitude east of Greenwich line. Natural Palestine refers to the region bounded in the west by the Mediterranean Sea, east by Syria and Jordan, north by Lebanon, and south by Egypt and the Gulf of Aqaba. Despite its small area, Palestine contains five clear divisions from west to east: Continental shelf, Costal (sic) plain, Palestinian mountains, Negev, Dead Sea rift (considered to be the lowest area in the world, about 400m below sea level).
Since no map of "Natural Palestine" is provided, I thought I'd supply one. Think of it as my contribution to this year's Islamic Da'wa History Month Canada.

"Natural Palestine" looks like this:


But it even gets better when you click the TDSB Islamic history month you get four different links containing lots of different info.

Surprise follows when you click the Jewish heritage month you get ONE link that go's to:  

Choose Your Voice: Fighting Anti-Semitism Together (FAST)Choose Your Voice

tackles the issue of exclusion head on and encourages students to uncover some of the historical and contemporary narratives of groups who have been discriminated against in Canada. Such narratives are often left out of the mainstream curriculum. Students hear first hand accounts of antisemitism and racism in the Jewish, African-Canadian, First Nations, Chinese- and Asian-Canadian communities.
