Also on the subject of the H/I conflict, I would like to have a lesson in class that covers some of the history so that the students are getting a really full picture and have a dialogue, but I'm not sure if I should clear this with any admin, as if there is a blowback they may find that I was not forthright. But I am a history teacher (American History) so surely I have a right to teach whatever I like? It's just these days you really don't know what will get you fired.

What are the state standards for your content area?

I never have close to enough time to teach everything I am supposed to cover and the history of conflict involving Israel in the Middle East cannot competently be done in just a day (or even a few days)
If I were teaching Current Events, then yes, taking time to teach it makes sense. US History? I don't see it, to be honest.

At the beginning of this war, I too thought it would be great to give these kids a verbal outlet. I still believe that but the more I read about the history behind this war- I think it could get ugly fast. Emotions are so high on both sides. I think that’s where you might run into trouble. I’d want to make sure there isn’t a chance emotions don’t spill into unstructured times of the day or at home in the community. I now think the risk is just too high. And that is so sad! But here we are bc violence continues to be in the rise for both groups. Just my thoughts

We have students of both Israeli and Palestinian descent in our school. It's hard to talk about one side without upsetting the other.

Each week I set aside time in my US History (seniors) class to discuss current events. To say this doesn't impact us, or that US history isn't intertwined is not accurate. This is about properly setting the stage: Civilians are being killed and religion and terrorism are part of it, that makes it an incredibly emotional issue even if you don't have a personal connection. School is a safe place to present facts and help your students understand the feelings of Israelis, Palestinians, and Muslims and Jews abroad. They don't need to take a side to empathize with people who are being hurt.
