The Secret Grove, by Barbara Cohen, was published in 1985, so some might object
to it for not being current. However, I found it to be a thoughtful, respectful
account of the friendship that develops between an Israeli boy and an Arab boy.
This short book (32 pages) is included in this list of upper elementary books
recommended for Jewish libraries (Building a Jewish Library: Children's Books:
Upper Elementary) with the following description:
"Cohen, Barbara. The Secret Grove. Union of American Hebrew Congregations
Press. 1985. AISN/ISBN: 0807403016.For grades 4 to 6. The tale of two boys, one
Israeli, the other Arab, who meet by chance one day in an orange grove that
separates their villages and learn as much about themselves as they do about
each other."

that invite discussion are available. Here's a beginning

Hello,
A friend asked if there were some balanced books on the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict for school age children. I am drawing a blank except for the Lynn Reid
Banks’ books, One More River and Broken Bridge. Do others have suggestions or
is there something in the Bibliography Bank?
Thank you and hag sameach
