The Arab residents of the village that I've met, and the people I know who've visited the village, would be very upset to hear these accusations.

that i looked at it. Im pretty sure it recieves financial and vocal support
from the Israeli government. They hold it up as an example of trying to make
peace while most of their investment in education goes elsewhere.
Any one involved in this project should already be aware of such accusations that
are made towards it. Im sure it is a very good and i think more schools should teach
a mixture of Isreali and Palestinian kids - inside isreal- both in Hebrew and Arabic.
People in the Uk should know both the positive and negative sides of these stories. Palestinians are very, very far from being united on certain points. If some of them say this Oasis is really a mirage I think you should at least be aware of this.
Im sure everyone realises Palestinians are second class, to say the least, in the middle east, especialy in isreal. I hope nobody is arguing against this point!
