A QUESTÃO DA PALESTINA: ABORDANDO O TEMA DO “FUNDAMENTALISMO RELIGIOSO” NO ENSINO MÉDIO

Abstract

This paper aims, from the narratives of occupation of Arabs and Jews throughout history in the region now known as Palestine and Israel, to analyze how the conflict between these two nations resulted/was a result of the formation of fundamentalist terrorist groups, religious or not, mainly since the establishment of the State of Israel. This fact, which occurred in 1948, triggered extremist attitudes in the war. This study tries to contribute to the understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict going beyond political and geographical issues, but pointing out how conflicts in the Middle East and their aftermath can bring to the world agenda recurring themes such as terrorism, fundamentalism, political Zionism and jihadism, topics that arise routinely in the classroom and can only be properly figured out through the examination of the religiosities that build up these trajectories and the historical contextualization that encompasses the study of religious narratives. It results in the production of a pedagogical proposal for high school, with activities and pedagogical dynamics to work in an interdisciplinary way, so that the professional of religious studies can dialogue with all the subjects of humanities when dealing with the theme, which permeates the religious, political, social and geographical aspects on a global level.
