The Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains unresolved, and these tensions inflame relations on American college campuses. This study analyzed quantitative and qualitative data for Jewish college students to examine barriers that may exist for these students in learning about Palestinian narratives and history. Results of an online campus survey indicated gender, family Holocaust history, religiosity, concerns about anti-Semitism and attachment to Israel were not significant barriers, whereas having been to the West Bank or knowing or working with someone Palestinian, predicted more positive student attitudes about Palestinians. Interactions between students’ political views about Israel and family and parents’ beliefs predicted student attitudes about Palestinians. Qualitative analysis with students in a course about the conflict confirmed these findings, and identified additional barriers of media and personal communication skills. Recommendations are made for future research and intergroup education to improve relationships between Jewish and Arab college students
