Palestinian Refugee Research Paper

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 refuge problem first initiated with the 1948 War Which Israelis dub the War of Independence and Palestinians call the Nakba when some 700,000 Arab residents (85%) left their home, some voluntarily, others forced, finding refuge in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Gaza Strip, which was then administered by Egypt. Others were left homeless in Israel. (Brynen, 2007) whilst the Six-Day War caused a further flight of 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians from Israeli won territory.

In addition, I will examine the current state of political and human rights in Israeli occupied West Bank and analyze how they are approaching a level of apartheid. Finally, I will summarize the effects of these social tensions between Israel and Palestinians in the terms of how potential open conflict could reignite.

As I sat on the back bench of a 12 passenger van with a coffee in my hand and my head on the back of the seat in front of me, I realized I had nothing left to give. All of energy was gone. I had come to the end of myself. We were driving down a bumpy road to an apartment complex filled with new faces from far away countries. As we drove I realized how much we had been doing every day and the weight of the things we had seen started to sink in. The refugees of Clarkson, Georgia had been through so much and I was getting a small glimpse into their lives during this week. However, it was Thursday afternoon and I was tired. We had been helping kids in the school all morning, then explored and ate at an international market, and my stomach was starting to turn from the ethnic food we had eaten. As we drove along and our leader described the after school program we would be working with I realized how physically exhausted I was. I began to pray for strength from God, and I told him that anything that

I am writing this letter to you because I believe that the Syrian Refugee Crisis needs to be added to the grade ten Canadian History Since World War One course.

During the Holocaust Jews went on boats to other country's but they kept getting denied. The Fresno family did not go to that boat. St.Louis did get on that boat and sailed to many country's. While they were on the ship after a long time of sailing the ship most people started to feel queasy. They went to the U.S. and also Cuba, but both of them had denied them. That is one difference they had between them.

If you were forced to leave your home and flee to another country because of terrorism, would you not want the people of that country to welcome you with open arms? Today, thousands of refugees in the Middle East are escaping the terrorism in their homelands to go to a free country such as the United States. These immigrants are avoiding terrorism because of what they have seen happen to others who were affected by the terrorists. An immigrant is someone who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence and a terrorist is a person or a member of a group that uses or advocates terrorism. With the rise of Middle Eastern immigrants escaping terrorism, the people of the United States need to support the refugees in adjusting to

The year 1948 witnessed the national independence for Israelis and “Al-Nakbah the disaster” (Sa'di 177) for Palestinian Arabs. Jewish Holocaust, Zionist movement, British interference, Arab awakening, religious conflict and disputes over territory built up into this catastrophic war. In consequence, on the one hand, millions of Palestinian Arabs fled into neighboring Arab countries, refugee camps and western countries (Mattar 395). On the other hand, militarization and securitization in Israel disrupted the normal life of its citizens (Éigeartaigh and Getty 18).

The year of Al-Nakba 1948 was a critical year that affected the life of millions of Palestinians. In this year, Palestinians were forced to immigrate to neighboring countries. Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria contain a major number of Palestinian refugees; with the number of Palestinians in Lebanon doubling because the war in Syria drove them there (Alwani, 2015). However, other Palestinians were able to migrate into European countries, while others went to Arab gulf countries. Furthermore, unless the Palestinians got the nationality of the country they live in they do not have but foreign civilian rights. Palestinian refugees who live in Lebanon for more than 10 years should be granted the Lebanese nationality to overcome the

Flocks of Middle Eastern immigrants flood the shores of Europe in an attempt to escape the horrible conditions they find themselves facing in their homelands and this has lead many countries to face some tough decisions concerning how to handle this influx of refugees.While many countries are increasing the amount of refugees permitted to take shelter in their country, others are blocking these immigrants from being able to enter. In response to this massive movement of Middle Eastern residents, the United States government is trying to find measures to assist other countries in this troubling time. The most likely ways to help refugees is through monetary donations and an increased refugee quota. Even though refugees must pass extensive background

Granting a substantial amount of un-vetted refugees access to a country cannot come without substantial consequence. By offering access to asylum, one is exposing the country to problems such as rising crime rate, economic hardships, social problems, and other problems that unvetted refugees bear and and potentially bringing more problems and make already rampant problems much worse. My argument is not saying to stop all flow of refugees, but instead of allowing any who wants refuge in, precautions need to be taken such as proper vetting and background screening. Vetting is the process in which an immigrant has their background checked before they are allowed into their country of refuge. Allowing large amounts of refugees into a country without vetting or regulation results in more problems than it solves.

In the recent days Syria has been suffering of many unfortunate events, and the citizens of this country are being the most affected by all the events. Some of Syria citizens decided to look for a safer place for their selves and their children. However, many countries had decided to close their borders and negate the entry to any Syrian refugee. For my personal opinion human beings trend to help each other’s for nature. In addition, many religions around the world say that if you can help someone that need’s it you must do it. Anyway, when world leaders decided to negate their help to the Syrian refugees they were been inauthentic to their religions and to their human nature. If it is true that terrorism is something that comes from Middle East, we should not negate the opportunity to survive to all the innocent people that are suffering in that zone.

Thousands of refugees travel illegally through the Mediterranean Sea. Traveling by sea has high risks that includes illnesses and death. In fact, more than 3,800 people have drowned or suffocated when crossing the Mediterranean on overcrowded boats.

Israel has become a complex issue for discussion from the moment of its’ establishment after World War II. It is discussed on different levels, starting from conversations over lunch and ending with discussion among heads of states. The right of Jewish population for this land, as well as the militaristic politics of Israel is constantly on the global agenda. At the same time, many people tend to ignore the state of other side in this conflict – the Arab population that remained on the Israeli territory after the formation of a new state. This paper studies the place of Arab minorities in Israel, with a special focus on the rights and position of Arab population during the first stages of the establishment of Israeli state.

Within the context of human history there have been many unfortunate events. Whether it is controllable by man, or nature. The world can be a formidable foe, especially In case of the former. Man against man, the eternal struggle. Since ages long forgotten to the folds of time, man has waged war against himself. Likewise can be said regarding the conditions in which present day Palestinians find themselves in. A world not of their making, yet the are forced to live within the conditions others have created for them. For decades, they have been a people without a nation to call home. A people that are constantly met with apathy and malcontent, a people that have been removed from what they call home. Since the creation of the state of Israel, Palestinians have found themselves at a significant loss. They have been displaced, to say the least. With the lack of enthusiasm for Palestinians within the Israeli state, and with much of the former territory they occupied now sanctioned as Israeli land, significant groups of culturally similar people are without a home. This is in part due to expansion by the Israeli forces, and the expulsion of Palestinian people in the process. Yet, with many suspected allies, such as the neighboring Arab states of Syria, Egypt and Jordan. Surely refugees would have somewhere to turn? The painstaking truth is that these refugees often do not receive the proper treatment required by the nations housing them. Infact, in many cases they are treated as
