מנהיגות-מנהיגים במדינת ישראל

מטרה: הכרת מנהיגי ישראל על פי הדילמות עימן הם התמודדו.

קהל יעד: ח'-יב'

גוף הפעולה:

1. משחק פתיחה – 7 בום

2. הצגת דילמות שונות

3. הסבר קצר על המנהיגים

הפעולה:

א.      מתודה: 7 בום-  משחקים 7 בום, רק במקום להגיד "בום" צריך להגיד מנהיג של ישראל.

ב.       הצגת דילמות- מחלקים מס' דילמות לחניכים שונים (נספח 1). כל חניך בתורו מקריא את     הדילמה, ומנסה לפתור אותה. מנסים להכניס אותם ממש לסיטואציה ולהגיד להם: "מה הייתם עושים???", להראות להם את כל הצדדים והמורכבות של העניין וכו'.

ג.        הכרת המנהיגים- (נספח 2) אחרי כל דילמה שקוראים, מציגים לתלמידים מס' תמונות של מנהיגי ישראל (ראשי ממשלות) והם צריכים להגיד איזה מנהיג לדעתם התמודד עם אותה דילמה.

לאחר מכן קוראים הסבר קצר כל המנהיג.

* רצוי להכין לוח גדול עם סקוטשים, ואז כל מנהיג שנלמד- תולים על הלוח את  התמונה ומתחת את ההסבר עליו. 

נספחים:

(1) You are the prime minister of Israel.. In your term, Israel is suffering the highest number of terrorism victims ever. On the one hand, you are the ‘father’ of the settlements, a nickname you received because of your military experience and success in the wars (in which these areas were conquered), and you strongly oppose moving out of the Gaza strip. On the other hand, there is great pressure on you from the U.S.A and your personal advisor, Dov Weisglas, to carry out the plan. He tells you that if you do not follow his advice, you will step down from the political stage as an old and insignificant woman. Meanwhile, an investigation is held against you and is decreasing your support in the public. What do you do -

Continue opposing the Disengagement Plan. You never believed that giving Palestinians territory would lead to peace, if anything it would just bring them a little closer to commit more terrorist attacks. Maybe I would consider it if they stopped with the terror, but right now they especially don’t deserve it. No way.

OR

Do you carry out the Disengagement Plan, believing that if so many important people are advising you to do it, it probably is the right thing. It will also take away some of the attention from the investigation against you… and anyways, it does make sense when they explain it…

(אריאל שרון)

(2) Few leaders and public personalities push you, Prime Minister, to come to a decision that is against your ideals. In one hand it seems like the decision is the only solution for the problem and beside, unusual cases sometimes force us to act in a different  ways and not by the way we use to. In the other hand to walk against your believe and against the people who chose you… that is not something that you get for it a second chance. What would you do?    

(ביבי נתניהו)

(3) A big kidnapping had occurred and 200 of your citizens are now in a critical situation. The kidnappers demand a very high price for the hostages. In one hand you know that giving them what they want will consider a lost to bunch of terrorists and can encourage more kidnapping. In the other hand rescuing the hostages by a military operation can put them in more danger and can lead to diplomatic problems with the world. What would you, Prime Minister, do?

(יצחק רבין)

(4) It is Yom Kippur and there are some who are saying that a war is coming. The intelligence is sending contradictory messages and you don't who is the reliable source. In one hand induction soldiers now, in the middle of Yom Kippur, will cause a big panic and will consider as an aggressive and arousal step (a step that the other side can use for his benefit by saying: "you started the war".) in the other hand, if a war will occur and there won't be enough soldiers the situation can get worse. What would you, Prime Minister, do?

(גולדה מאיר)

)5) You, Prime Minister, know that in order to get peace you will have to give back territory that your army had conquer and became a blooming place which a lot a families live right now.  By doing that you know that afterwards you can secure others territories and make them bigger. In other hand to evacuate all the people who’s already call this place "home" will be a painful act. What would you do?
