In our society people do not understand why the Palestinians act the way they do. The news could be a reason why people believe Palestinians are bad people because they do not release the facts. People believe that the Palestinians are nothing but terrorist that likes to blow their selves up. That is not the case Palestinians are regular human beings that want best for their families. The Palestinians become human bombs because of their loyalty to their people. After reading The Attack it gave me a better understanding on why Palestinians have trouble believing in a better day. The anger that enrage in the Palestinians has a lot to do with the loss of land that meant everything to them. The Palestinians were kicked out of what was known of their holy land in 1947 and left stateless. Palestinian’s believe they should have a land back that was once theirs. The United Nations gave the Israelis the land now known as Israel. The Israelis pushed most of the Palestinians out from Israel. Israelis are part of an increasing nation. The Israelis wants nothing to do with the Palestinians. In the bible the land is a “promised land” towards the Jews which is why the Israelis believe the land should be theirs. The Israelis claim that the Palestinians NEVER existed. The Israelis …show more content…
The Palestinians begin losing their land in 1947 due to this they suffered in the Holocaust. In 1967 the Palestinians lost the rest of their land. The land that is known as Israel belonged to Palestinians first and was theirs for quite a while. When Israelis took the land they gave some to the Palestinians but soon took it back leaving the Palestinians with nothing. They both would like the best for their people. The problem with the two is that they do not want to share the land amongst each other. Palestinians and Israelis both have the same father whose name is Abraham. Both the Palestinians and Israelis believe the land belongs to
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the one of the world’s oldest conflicts, and it is still an ongoing problem in the world. Zionists and Arabs: two groups with conflicting beliefs who both claim Israel as their own. In wake of the Holocaust the U.N decided to gift the Jews a homeland for the lives lost in the genocide. In 1947, the U.N Partition divided the land of Israel (Historic Palestine) into two separate states: Arab and Jewish. Since then, the state of Israel has been the center of conflict between the Arabs and the Zionists. As time passed the Zionists gained more land from winning the Six-Day War, and consequently the Palestinians had to live as refugees in other Arab countries. Additionally, more than 75% of the land belonged to
The Jews took to Palestine to establish their homeland and the situation worsened until the Palestinian revolution against the Zionist movement and continued British and American support for the Jews until the United Nations decided to divide Palestine into a Jewish state and another Arab. The State of Israel was declared on the land of Palestine with American and British support. The Arabs rejected this decision, while the Jews who declared their state accepted it until a war broke out that the Arabs lost. This encouraged the Jews to expand and occupy more Palestinian land. Where the Zionist government stripped the Arabs of Palestine from their land.
The crisis in Jerusalem dragged both Israel and Palestine into a vortex of violence and a religious conflict. Both Israelis and Palestinians had claim the city as a sacred religious site and their political capital. The conflict became quite violent causing the closure of holy sites, a deadly terrorist attack caused the Palestinian's to end all contact with Israel. Despite the peace efforts between the states, societies continued to rupture along ethnic and religious lines. Israel's continued unfolding with religious conflict and persisted in illegal actions causing living conditions for Palestinian civilians to become unlivable. Jews have formed the largest religious group in the city and have been in the majority. However, the Arab and Jewish communities in Palestine were in mortal dispute. Under an agreement approved by the United Nations, Jerusalem was meant to become a separated body but due to Arab forces sieging Jerusalem, and withdrawing of the British mandate, Jerusalem became a huge battleground. Jewish settlers pushed Muslim Arabs out of their homes and established the state of Israel on their land during the middle of the 20th century. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are extremely tied to the ancient city due to them recognizing Jerusalem as a holy place. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is over which gets what land and how that land is
A fight is taking place is Israel over whether or not Israelis should be able to lead or even live in what used to be Palestine. The U.N. gave half of Palestine to the Jews and then they started leading and taking more land. Everyone there needs somewhere to live, so who should be able to live there?
Since the Independence of Israel in 1948, there has been a greater tension between the Israelis and the Palestinian community. It is very important to know that both have been living Israel before it was considered an independent state. Not only Palestinians have been in conflict with the Israelis but also Arabs and Muslims. They might not have the same issues with Israel as the Palestinians do, but they both dislike Israelis for different reasons. Palestinians issue has been over property ownership while the Arabs and Muslims community has been over religious reasons. It is difficult to resist the conclusion that Israel belongs to
There has been an unsettling conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians for many years. The two territories of Israel and Palestine were originally ruled by Britain, but because of many disputes and fights, the United Nations passed the UN Partition Plan in 1947. This plan suggested that the two territories of Israel and Palestine would be turned into separate countries. The Arabs loathed this idea because they got less land, but the Israelis loved it, for they received much more territory. In this spring of 1948, the United Nations declared the creation of Israel, in result, many countries in the Middle East were
Before anyone can comprehend the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one must understand the theory of Zionism. Theodor Herzl was the first Jew to have the idea of creating Israel. He was a witness of the Dreyfus affair, in which a Jewish officer was accused of treason, solely because he was Jewish. Herzl also witnessed mobs of people shouting “Death to the Jews”. This was the last straw for Herzl. Herzl decided that there needed to be a change so he made it one of his life goals to create a successful movement in which Jews founded a Jewish state. One of his main arguments was that discrimination against Jews could be eliminated if they had their own Jewish State, and so modern Zionism was formed. The idea of modern Zionism is so pertinent to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because much of the reason for Israel becoming a Jewish state is behind the fact that Jews were perpetrated throughout the years before Zionism even came into play of the situation.
The fact is that the Jewish state has been able to hold its ground while the Arab states claim that it will annihilate the Jews and drive them into the sea. Through the seven day war, the Yom Kippur war and numerous other wars Israel has expanded its borders and protected what it has. It has even given up land in hopes for peace with Egypt. It also must be mentioned that there is irrefutable history that no such thing as a separate palestinian people ever existed. It was made up for political purposes which was set out by numerous Arab statements over time. It must also be known, that after and during the life and death of the Ottoman empire, Jews were legally purchasing land of Israel. Such organizations include the and Jewish National fund, Palestine Jewish Colonization Association, and Palestine Land Development Company. by 1935 Jews had legally bought around 579,348 acres of land. In conclusion, Jews have occupied the land of Israel since before Islam and Christianity existed, Jewish People have bought land through legal means, and are even documented in other ancient religions and cultures book such as the Romans,
The Israelites won, and when the armistice was signed in 19149, they owned a third more land than they would have had under the UN proposal. This lead to the 1967 ¨6 day war¨ with Israel winning once again, gaining control over the west bank, gaza strip, golan heights and sinai peninsula. With the plan failing the UN created a resolution that consisted on achieving peace, including Israel withdrawing from the territory acquired in the war, of course this didn't happen. After the war, the Israeli-Arab conflict turned into a more specific Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the late 1980s the Palestinians launched the first Intifada, which started with the refusal of paying arab taxes, protest and later turned to violence. This intifada was the founding of Hamas, which launched the first suicide bombing against Israel in 1993. Hamas gained control over time. In September of 2000, Prime minister candidate Ariel Sharon led a group of armed guards to the Temple mount in Jerusalem, a holy site in Judaism, causing a major protest, violence and a second intifada, where more than 3000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis were
Imagine someone took your own land away from you. Wouldn’t you fight back and seek justice? Wouldn’t you fight every bit of obstacles to gain independence? That is what the Palestinians are trying to do. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a controversy between Israelis and the Palestinians over control of Jerusalem. The Israelis are mostly Jewish and the Palestinians are mostly Muslims. Jerusalem is located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea and is one of the oldest cities in the world. At this moment, Israel controls the land. The Palestinians live in two areas called the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians only want to declare independence from the Israelis and create their own country in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Currently, they want support from the United Nations and want President Barack Obama to accept their request for freedom. President Barack Obama should endorse the Palestinians request for independence for many reasons.
Both the Jews and the Arabs have claims to the land because of the claim of the ancient territorial rights over areas in the Middle East. The area knows as Palestine has seen many waves of invasions from the Romans and the Egyptians. After WW1 Britain and France re-drew the borders to suit their needs. The British and French have made the situation between the Arabs and the Jews worse by making too many promises without a full understanding of both of the viewpoints.
Palestine and Israel have a big fight that should of ended long ago. During the late nineteenth hundreds the standard Zionist began a movement into the promised land known as Palestine to reclaim their ancestral homeland (The Origin of..). After moving into Palestine Zionists started to create an exclusive Jewish state, however the Arab community caught on to the movement and opposed this by not allowing Jewish immigration into Palestine along with not permitting them to buy land. Thus one can see the struggle Palestine and Israel are involved in currently, which has transformed the Promised Land into a place with extreme terrorism and constant bickering between the Jews and Arabs. Now Palestine is fighting for the land that was once
After years of being ruled by many different people Palestine is in many ways independent. They are also struggling to be recognized as a country in the world. Recently there have been some problems between Palestine and Israel, and it has gotten out of hand. Many people have been killed there where some outbreaks occurred between the IOF and the citizens of Palestine.
Jewish Israelis claim ownership of the land because they need a place that is safe from all the hostility from Arabs towards Jewish people. They also believe that they were promised this land by God. The Palestinians (Arabs) say it belongs to them because their ancestors have lived there for hundreds of years.
In the 18th century, where Israel will be is occupied by Palestinians. Over time, Jews enter this land as well, fleeing Germany after WWII. The UN grants Jews a nation-state called Israel in 1948, but this just causes a Civil War to break out between Jews and Palestinians. After this war Jews occupy a lot of the land. In 1967 the Six Days War occurs, and Jews occupy West Bank and Gaza. They only occupy land with the military because by law they are not allowed to have their own people in the country to hopefully prevent annexation. After some time, Jews choose to ignore this law and they live among Palestinians. They use military force to keep it from the Palestinians overthrowing them, and they also do not allow Palestinians citizenship. Jews believe they have the right to this land because they are ancestors of Abraham, who owned this land and is buried here. This claim is made by Miriam Levinger as well and is based on an interpretation of Genesis 23.
