On the 28th of September, of the year 2000, the second Palestinian Intifada took place. The main reason that sparked this Intifada was the provocative visit of Ariel Sharon, the current Israeli Prime Minister, to the Haram Al Sharif. Even though the visit was what set the ground on fire, these feeling of hatred and desire to rebel had been stirring inside the Palestinians ever since the declaration of the Israeli State, on the Palestinian land, back in 1948. This Palestinian frustration is due to
their unity, community, and rootedness to the land, their past, present, and future. As a dominant figure in Palestinian culture, it is almost sacred. The olive tree also plays a significant role in the economy of Palestine, with olive oil being the second largest import of the country. It has begun to play an even bigger role in the economy, as increasing unemployment has left only the olive trees to provide sustenance for families. Even as Palestinians retreat into their communities to farm their
The Palestinian conflict has caused major issues in Israel's government. This problem was started in 1948 and has continued to rage on. This battle, fueled by territory control amongst the countries, has resulted in a large loss for the people of Israel. Hatred for one another has grown in the hearts and minds of the people in both Israel and Palestine. If this feud fails to cease, a far much greater and more costly loss will soon follow. It has specifically negatively affected Israel’s government
peace negotiations have been carried out, resulting in variable degrees of success. This essay will focus on how theorists of peace and conflict have analysed the conflict in recent history. Especially, the peace process after the first Palestinian intifada and the 1993 Oslo-agreements will be analysed. In addition, this essay will shed light on the involvement of the United States in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is not a secret at all that the US has a close relationship with Israel. How was
Crossing Borders The beat-up Arab minivan slowed tentatively under the scrutinizing gaze of the Israeli soldier on duty. The routine was simple. About halfway between Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem and Ramallah, the West Bank commercial center, the driver, blaring Arabic music on his radio, maneuvered around the dusty slabs of concrete that composed the Beit Haninah Checkpoint. He waited for a once-over by the Hebrew-speaking 18-year-old and permission to continue. Checkpoints-usually just small
“Longitudes and Attitudes”, written by Thomas Friedman, is a collection of columns, broken by September 11th’s great catastrophe and including material from his diary. The book displays his outstanding strengths as a commentator along with a few weaknesses. “Longitudes and Attitudes” is a collection of his more recent columns and a diary of supporting incidents. It relates to the theme that has consumed him in his career. This theme is given point by Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the attack of
After reading the documents provided, I have come to the conclusion that the territory now called Israel and once called Palestine, really should belong to the native Palestinians. As a part of the larger international conflict between the Jews and the Arabs, the Palestinian current living situations has been the “fuse” that ignites regional conflict. The Palestinian refugee status has become an exceptional contribution to the conflict resulting in more violence in recent years. The conflict itself

The Isreali-Palestine Conflict has been present for many years and dates back to when there was British dominance in the region. One of the most prominent issues is the matter of resources, such as oil and water present in the state. Another source of conflict is the support of Israel from the Western countries, like the United States during the Gaza Strip conflict, which creates an imbalance of power between Israel and Palestine. The idea of power is a very important aspect to this conflict,
The ongoing and explosive Israeli-Palestinian conflict has its roots in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century when two major nationalist movements among the Jews and Arabs were born. Both of these groups’ movements were geared toward attaining sovereignty for their people in the Middle East, where they each had historical and religious ties to the land that lies between the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Toward the end of the 19th century, Southern Syria
Ian Garrett Gonzales 4B Palestinian Islamic Jihad Israel is being attacked! The people of Palestine and Israel, may have heard about, witnessed, or even been a part of those attacks, but few know who the real culprits are and what they’re about. Rockets falling from the sky, suicide bombings, and violence seem to happen daily in the region. While they know it is the responsibility of a deadly group, they may not know their faces. They may not know that they walk the streets with them and plan
The Middle East is known for its ray of different conflicts. One that is most notable is the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, which has it, roots from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

In 1947, the United Nations announce that there would be two separate states Israel and Palestine, in which this
The mass media that I chose to break down in terms of immigration topics and immigration themes was a movie called, Amreeka. This film came out in 2009, by Cherien Dabis, and definitely succeed in its intent to add some hope and delightful palatableness to the known immigrant experience. Amreeka, the Arabic word for America, starred a divorced mother, Muna, and her teenage son, Fadi, embarking on a tough physical and emotional journey to their new life in the United States from the Palestinian West
When Usama questions why many Palestinians are going over to Israel to work, the old man says, “Better over there. Lots of money. Plenty of easy work” (Khalifeh 41). As a character most outside of the conflict, Usama feels a greater connection with his class than he does with the working class. No understanding exists of the hardships they face every day while living in the region. Without feeling a connection to the working class, one cannot truly understand the conflict raging within the Palestinian

Other leaders of Israel used violence to try and resolve the conflict but it only made things worse. Olmert wanted to use peace instead of violence to try and end the Arab-Israeli conflict.

In our American society, newspapers are very important they provide a lot of solid information of what is happening in national and international level. Newspapers are usually written to expose conflicts, peace, knowledge, lost, and other cultural media. These articles can be written in different forms such as of multiple paragraph, photos, and comics; such as the one that the New York Times newspaper releases from their journalist, Joe Sacco the author of the comic book “The Underground War in Gaza”
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a never-ending problem facing the two states. It began in the 19th century during the Ottoman or British rule. This was between the Arabs living in Palestine and the Jews living in Israel. It was Zionism for the Jews against Arab nationalism. This conflict was known as the Arab-Israeli conflict. The main issues were; border disputes, security, the control of Jerusalem, recognition as well as Palestinian freedom of movement. These issues are what spear headed
Why Did the Negotiation fail? Many disagreements would arise in the negotiation process of the Camp David 2000 Summit that would eventually lead it to be unsuccessful. Disagreements such as the division of territory, the dispute over Jerusalem, Security and Refugee arrangements arose in the negotiation. Unfortunately this paper cannot explain all of the disagreement, it will mention some. Most of the criticism of the failure on Camp David 2000 Summit was pressed at the Palestinian Authority Chairman
The Arab Israeli conflict has been going on for many years. The struggle for peace in South West Asia is hundreds of years old. The fight over Israel has been going on, and cannot find peace.
