Israeli-Arab Conflict Effects On Children

(n.d.). Retrieved October 27, 2015. This source mentions several effects of war on children. It recognizes majority of modern conflicts take place within countries, not between them. This is a learning point I would want to call to my children’s attention during my lesson. Children accounted for many of the deaths during the war, whether it may be due to illness, weapons, starvation, the gas chamber, or other cruel methods. This website is divided into four sections: the physical effects of war on children, the economic effects of war on children, the psychological effects of war on children, and resilience. I will use these details to show my students that children were affected in various different

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 big question we ask ourselves today is, will Israel and Palestine ever agree to stop fighting? The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been traced all the way back to 1948 through 2005 in The Israel Palestine Land Settlement Problem, written by Charles Rowley and Jennis Taylor. However, this conflict did not end in 2005. This article was written in 2006, so anything within the last 10 years is not included. The conflict between the two counties still continues to this day and still remains a major problem. Israelis and Arabs have been fighting over Gaza on and off for decades now. The three issues laid out in this article are the four major wars that took place, the refugee problem, and the conflict between religions. It concludes with the road map to peace. Throughout his whole book, The Israel-Palestine Conflict, Gelvin speaks of the same historical events that occurred between Israel and Palestine, while the article reveals there are still other conflicts, the land settlement problem has been the major conflict between Israel and Palestine since 1948.

More than 995 childrens were dead by the israelis. Everyday the children have to go through the israelis. Everyday the childrens/adults thinking that are going to get killed or not. The reason why they feel this way because, they have weapons,tanks, and bombs. Its sad because the older kids who is in college professors don't care if they’re missing class and almost all of the students who can’t make it through the israelis is failing the class.

Many people growing up in the area felt that war against one another was right and affective. Though they have been devastated by war in the pass, many do not know anything different. It is a cycle, if having war and violence is something child and adults are used to having, then it will always be in their blood, they will always want to try and hurt one another. ”As terrorism becomes normal, it becomes acceptable. It grows into a routine.” For the most part the Arab children felt as though war was more important than then Jewish child. “Nearly all the Arab children, 94 percent, said that

The level of impact and trauma of violence depend on many factors which affect on their perception and respond. Children’s age is one of the most crucial elements reflect this.It was evident that infants and young children are threatened significantly of health and psychology.

The mere idea of a child under the age of eighteen being directly affected by war is unimaginable. However, it has happened and is still happening, and the effects these children confront in the aftermath is awful. When a country is participating in a war, it creates an environment that is psychologically more damaging to boys than girls.

Many children are more subject to death and injury because certain weapons can hurt children more severely than adults. Also, children are more affected because during times of war adults love and attention can sometimes become scarce, which can cause them to make unwise decisions. After a war, such as the Salvadoran Civil War, there are many long lasting effects especially on the children because they grow up with the conflict. Which then usually causes them to continue the conflict. For example, in the Gaza-Israel conflict children lost their families and their opportunity to go to school, and because of this they face many psychological issues.

The book “Three Wishes: Palestinian and Israeli Children Speak” by Deborah Ellis offered incredible insight into the lives of the children involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, I found many of the facts – and many of the viewpoints expressed by these children – incredibly upsetting. After reading about the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli army, I was angered by the lack of action from the international community concerning the complete disregard of children’s basic human rights. Additionally, the world refuses to condemn the Israeli oppression of Palestinians out of fear of coming across as anti-Semitic. Peace cannot be achieved if the world continues to abstain from acting and children of both sides grow up believing that peace is impossible.

Imagine a town full of content children getting an education, running around with friends and siblings in the field, and helping their mothers cook and clean in the house. Sadly one day, gunshots and screams echo throughout the whole town and the children are taken away from their families instantly and violently. There is nothing the parents can do about it. The children that were taken away are now not in control of their own lives and are forced to take other's lives. If the children are able to make it back home, people are able to see their fear, trauma, disabilities, and illnesses that have overpowered their childhood. Roughly 300,000 kids are turned into a soldier; around 100,000 boys and girls are from the Middle East (Mancini 34).

The indirect trauma terrorism causes affect the mentality and the emotions of the victims’ families suffer greatly as a result of the loss of their loved ones. A certain proportion of war-affected children lose all adult protection unaccompanied children, as they are known in refugee situations. Second, impacts in childhood may adversely affect the life trajectory of children far more than adults. Consider children who lose the opportunity for education during war, children who are forced to move into refugee or displaced person camps, where they wait for years in miserable circumstances for normal life to resume, if it ever does. These phenomena which often occur in situations of war, ethnic cleansing, and refugee life leave lasting physical impacts in sexually-transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, psychological impacts and changes in life trajectory. Psychological suffering. Children are exposed

War has affected many people, and in those countries that war has reached it has left many obstacles to overcome. Children and their parents have been affected greatly. Children that live in poverty, children that have lost a parent, lack basic necessities, are often forced to fight in wars and become child soldiers. Children are of described as someone who is under the age of eighteen, but in reality a child is a young person dependent on an adult. Child soldiers are faced with very difficult decisions that can be very traumatic to someone at that age.Child soldiers are often taken advantage of, being sexually assaulted or have been forced to kill people. They can be haunted by the decisions they make during their time as a soldier and

Children are most affected by this as it is difficult to survive wars. Many have had health problems or even suicidal tendencies. Children shouldn't be subjected to such horror, and it must be combatted.

Went I think the war in the Middle East, and the impact it has on the world as a whole my mind goes to the children. I think about how they are trapped in a state of fear, and hunger. I learned in phycology class that a child’s brain will not develop cognition if the child lives in traumatic situations for more than a short while. So I can’t help but wonder what does that mean for those children in the Middle East, and even more so what does that mean for the future of those countries. It seems to me as if they are in a far worse state them most people know. When a child is traumatized in such ways as those children are in the Middle East they no longer develop the ability to grow mentally and emotionally. Trauma has a way of holding people

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is just one of the many facets that have shaped modern day politics in the Middle East. It is a conflict rooted in generations of violence, discrimination and prejudice that is complicated by a history older than any of the modern day superpowers. Ever since the creation of the state of Israel by the 1947 UN partition of Palestine
