The preamble to the Program called for establishment of a "home in #Palestine for the #Jewish people, secured under public law," thus leaving open the question of statehood but affirming that the result required international support

I'm building a small list of resources for neurodivergent students for my big 1st year undergrad course. What would you recommend that a first year undergrad, who lives with OCD, ASD, ADHD and/or anything else, should read, watch or join.
