He teaches things they won't get in any normal textbook. Israeli/Palestine conflict is 50/50 of teacher instruction; Map on board with dates as they switch back and forth through the years; create scenarios where people or groups are different people with in both sides; they need to agree or negotiate on where the Israeli/Palestine conflict; focus on authentic assessments; Collaborate/Design/Comparison/Critiques; a lot of work to begin; many resources on the Internet; more meaningful experience for the student.
