Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs is leading the project that also includes Colgate University in Hamilton, the University at Albany and Hamilton College in Clinton.
Staff and faculty members at all four colleges will be involved in an exhibition titled “This Place,” featuring more than 600 images by 12 international photographers who have chronicled life in the contested places in Israel and the West Bank. The exhibit, scheduled to open in the spring of 2018, will serve as an on-campus teaching and learning program for undergraduates.
The program is funded by a $222,000 grant from the New York City-based Teagle Foundation.

“photographers who have chronicled life in the contested places in Israel and the West Bank.” Sounds very anti-semitic. It seems they are going to be showing the “occupation” of Israelis over Palestinians and the suffering of the Palestinians…
Do you want to make a fair comparisson? Show blibical evidence that the whole area belongs to the Jews and that there has never been a Palestinian capital in Jerusalem. Compare all the contributions of the Jews to the world and what the muslims are doing today, and so much more…
They should also show pictures of the different ways Palestinians have done terrorism to Israel, including suicide bombers, rockets, stabbings. And off course, show a history of negotiations in that Israel has offered basically everything to Palestinians and they rejected it.
Another question, if they are going to show the conflict or the suffering of the palestinians, have they also shown the conflict and suffering of other people’s as well? There are and were tons of conflicts where minorities were and are literally tortured and massacred throughout the world.
