Because of all of the threats against the Jewish people, tensions and the amount of fear are growing. The state of Israel is becoming so paranoid that the Jewish people are

The sensationalized depictions of Palestinians have affected a good majority of people in the United States. Following the 9/11, attack on the World Trade Center is a perfect example why. It was one of our nation’s greatest losses and a genocide that will never be forgotten. After the incident occurred, our media made it very clear to the people that it was done by members of the Muslim religion. Now people from all around the World started to associate terrorism with a specific look and religion. However, this doesn’t excuse why human rights have been violated since the beginning of time and in the reading, the Palestinians have been forced from their land by the Israelites and placed in refugee camps, they are also discouraged from speaking

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict dates back to hundreds of years, so why are we just now learning and hearing more about it? Israel, being backed by America, keeps destroying the Palestinians houses, businesses, and killing thousands of people. Golan Heights, the Gaza strip, and the West Bank are all stuck between the Israelis, terrorist groups, and tension set between countries all throughout the Middle East.

Although Israel is a small nation by itself, people opposing Israel say that the Israelis are nothing short of military bullies. Israel is known for their military might and success in preserving there nation. Their defense program is state of the art and far above other surrounding nations. Yet the potential of rogue nations containing nuclear capabilities are substantial. Some of the Arabian fighters are not all radicalized but are angered victims of having family members becoming casualties of war. Israel also while trying to defend itself, occasionally contribute to the unfortunate casualty victims. Naturally they would oppose Israel for taking away their sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, and also friends.

As an authoritative action, Israel strategically chose to target mainly elected representatives and political leaders of Palestine. By choosing to go after these specific people, Israel hoped to weaken the Palestinian National Authority and stop it from doing it’s governing duties. And

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.

Palestinians have slaughtered at least 34 Israelis — stabbing them to death in stores, in synagogues, in their apartments and on the street, and ramming them to death with their cars. Daring to step out onto the street almost anywhere in Israel has become a game of Russian roulette these

On July 2, a 16 year-old Palestinian boy was kidnapped, tortured, and burned alive in an apparent retaliation for the three Israeli youths. This sparked further outrage, and Hamas intensified rocket fire into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. This again prompted action from the IDF, who began making preparations for an invasion of the region. Operation Protective Edge commenced shortly thereafter on July 8. So far, it is estimated that over 1,100 people have been killed in the offensive, the vast majority of whom have been Palestinian civilians. This has caused concern worldwide about human rights violations, and has sparked massive protests criticizing the Israeli government's heavy-handedness and calling for an end to the IDF

In this uprising, a young teenage boy started throwing a rock at the Israeli soldiers who were holding machine guns. As more people saw what the boy was doing, more people started to do the same. They were beaten and put in jail, but they kept on throwing a rock out of hatred for them. Shortly after, Arafat denounces all terrorism, which made Israel believe that maybe they didn't need a two-state solution is the Palestinians were no longer using terrorism. The bombings did not stop witch only made the Israelis frustrated at the Palestinians. When Itzah Rabin, the leader of Israelis who wanted peace, died the peace process was stopped and a lot of violence started. Most Israelis now believe that the two-state solution is not even an option because they believe that they can defeat the Palestinians with violence. Also, some Israelis don't want a two-state because people like Kami say “the fact of Israelis control of 100 percent of Palestinians is fundamentally why you can't have a two-state

Gaza- SP- Demolitions operation on Palestinian civilians in the West Bank by Israel more incentive to do lately. Israel argued that the destruction of houses is because Palestinians do not have an official certificate and considered illegal.

The Israel-Gaza conflict was started by Israel in The Gaza Strip, ruled by Hamas, an Islamic military group. It was started after Hamas fired rockets Israeli cities and infrastructures. Israel spent seven weeks on this conflict. This conflict, lead to deaths of thousands of people. Most of them were Gazans. The operation was started to stop Gaza from firing rockets into Israel. Even more rockets were fired after Israel destroyed the suspects of the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli tennagers by two men from Hamas. Gaza's goal was to cause other countries to pressure Israel into lifting its barrier on Gaza. They wanted another country to guarantee that Israel will agree with the cease-fire, release Palestinian prisoners, and break its national isolation. On August 10, an Egyptian cease-fire proposal was agreed to by Israeli and Palestinian officials. On August 13, the cease-fire was continued for another 120 hours. This allowed both sides to have time for more negotiations for a long-term solution to the fighting. On August 19, the cease-fire 24 hour ceasefire was broken with 29 Hamas rockets fired in 20 minutes. On August 21, Israel fired rockets which killed three Hamas commanders. Much more fighting continued over the next couple of days. On August 26, another ceasefire was agreed upon, which still stands to this day. Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas for the Israel-Gaza conflict and

Our Earth, our solar system, our galaxy, is forever changing. We live in a world where, from one microsecond to the next, a new child can be born, or a life can be taken away. In one minute a government can start, inventions can be formed, or a landscape can be torn apart. Despite this ever morphing world, there has been a war being fought for nearly an entire century that has still not been resolved. Concentrated in a small portion of the Middle East, two main forces, the Israelis and Palestinians, have been battling every day. This war has taken countless lives, both purposefully and accidentally, and, despite many years passing, it seems to approach no end. One murder in particular, the killing of Mohammed Zeid of Gaza, embodies the inequity

The Israeli-Palestinian tension all started out when Israeli first started to conquer Palestinian land since 1967. Since then, the Palestinians have been living under the injustice of Israeli military occupation.

With Israel receiving three billion dollars in aid annually from the United States of America, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an issue that is relevant to life in the U.S. However, to many it is no more than a distant battle fought in a land few will ever see. The documentary film Death in Gaza attempts to humanize the conflict through the everyday lives and voices of young children living in the war-stricken area. While the documentary is relatively one-sided, showing only the Palestinian viewpoint, it does serve the purpose of shedding light and interest on an issue that is unimaginable to those not living in the region, yet is fought and survived by people no different than ourselves.

The context of the general Article from Times of Israel news is about the occupation of Palestine and opinion journalist of the channel for what is happening to the Palestinian people which they are Against Israel and Expresses resentment and anger from the terrorist attack.
