Answer 1

Well start reading about Palestinians from various view points.    For instance: read biographies on Muslim and Christian Palestinians, those living in Westbank and those in west.  Find out about how the world divided the country up and how the victims ended up being the oppressors.  Read about how families who live there felt violated by being uprooted along w/families who have survived.  Ok then interview people and be objective and find out how they feel ......

Answer 2

relaax. i live in the arab world.

um dont you have notes? a textbook? others in your class you can ask? just ask your teacher or research the net. put your mind to it!

Answer 3

Don't stress - this is pretty easy.

Tip #1: read about it from OUTSIDE sources instead of your textbook or your notes -- this will provide you with an even more in-depth understanding of the topic.

Tip #2: Read these two links and my advice is that you read them like a story - try to understand what these people were doing and why they did it. Don't try to read to memorize the facts - those will come naturally to you if you understand these peoples' "story".

Tip #3: Once you've read the first link thoroughly, and understand it like a story, go to that second link and have a pen and a paper at your side.

After you read each paragraph or two, write down the important things about it. Use BULLET POINTS and just write down the important stuff.

You're set!!
