The lust for territory seems to be the real source of conflict, and until one group is satisfied, the appearance of religious conflict will exist in the Middle East. It seems as if the real truth needs to be portrayed to the rest of the world about the true reason for the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is geography and ultimately water. The lack of water stems from the Great Syrian Rift Zone, and causes damage to Israeli land which ultimately decreases the amount of water that flows into the Red Sea. This lack of water causes Israel and other surrounding countries (Jordan, Lebanon, and the Occupied Territories) to only have one source of surface water, which is from Lake Kinnaret, or the Sea of Galilee that flows into the Jordan River. …show more content…
The use of the Hezbollah has greatly added to the continuation of the Arab-Israeli conflict and has limited cooperation in all regions. The Hezbollah also attracted U.S. attention after a suicide bomber killed over two hundred Marines in Beirut.
In the end, the whole Arab-Israel conflict comes down to fighting for the Occupied Territories due to their overarching benefits. This conflict is not a religious struggle, but rather a struggle for territory and it will continue with war crimes and human rights violations for a long time until everyone in the Middle East is satisfied, which has a very low probability of occurring.
EFFECTS ON REGIONAL AND GLOBAL SECURITY
As one can see this issue directly impacts the Middle East because it drives all actions that develop there. Whatever attacks that come from this area are more than likely directly related the Arab-Israeli conflict. Recently a survey conducted in EU of 7,515 people in 15 EU countries said “yes”60% of the time to the question of if Israel presents a threat to peace. This percentage put Israel ahead of Iran, North Korea, and the U.S. each of which had a 53% “yes” vote. This survey, not knowing the sampling population, reflects a general notion that Israel is a threat to global security. This may or may not be true, but what is true is that the Arab-Israeli conflict is a threat to regional security, and some of the threats
The Arab/Israeli conflict is a conflict between the Arabs and the Jews over a small piece of land known as the holy land which is an area in the Middle East of the Arab world. The Arabs call the land Palestine, the Jews call it Israel but both religions have strong religious links with the land. There is conflict between the two religions because they both believe that the land belongs to them.
What do you think about the conflicts with the Arab and Israelis conflict going on in the now what’s called the country of Israel? The Arab and Israelis were constantly arguing and fighting over the country of Israel mainly because of the holy city of both religions Israel. I believe that there are 3 main conflicts one of the first reasons is because both groups were fighting over the country of Israel because of the holy city of Jerusalem. Another reason is because Britain had promised both groups the land of Israel. Finally is that the Jews had went into Palestine and kicked people out of the country.
There were many conflicts that lead to religious wars in the Middle East or the Holy Land. History gives no valid claim to any piece of land; someone else was always there earlier. This gives reason that the Arabs and Israelis are not fighting about religion due to the fact that they are not trying to promote their faith. Many religions peoplehood are rooted in the Holy Land, such as Judaism and Christianity.
When analyzing US involvement in the Middle East since World War II, it is impossible to not talk about the impact Israel has had on the region. In the international community Israel is widely considered an “expansionist arm” of the United States in the Middle East. The US and Israel’s
Throughout the course, various religious and ethnic violent conflicts have been discussed. Two of the most important and most present in current times is the Sunni-Shia and the Arab-Israeli conflicts. Although both conflicts are still very relevant today, the structural and triggering conditions that contributed to the conflict began many years ago and since then have escalated to the point where it is now. Although a resolution for both of these conflicts is a far reach at this point in time, the best strategy ideally would be to encourage the nations involved with conflict to deal with the problem at the political level instead of a religious one and create a system that protects all the different expressions of religion in the region.
Historically, there have been many problems in the Middle East due to foreign occupation. Middle East has always been hot and it is still hot. However, there seems to be no end to the fire. There have been a lot of peace talk in the region, but the conflicts still is still unresolved.

The Middle East has been filled with conflict since the middle ages. The conflicts mainly have to do with religion and land. Today, those conflicts matter to most of the world because of our dependency on the Middle East for oil. An important conflict that is going on today is between Israel and the Arab nations that surround it. It is actually not just one conflict, but a series of conflicts that have happened since Israel became a nation for the second time.
A conflict that has been going on for decades, centuries even. An entire country divided against each other because of a single question. Who does the land belong to? Many have debated this topic trying to find an answer to this question. But what started it all? Who does it entail? Well let's find out and explore the history of the country with the most intractable conflict in the world, Israel.
The Arab Israeli conflict has been occurring since the 1940’s. The United Nations established Israel within Palestine in the late 40’s, under control under the Jews. Israel was located surrounded by four arab nations which led to tension in the Arab and Israelis. They both started to claim the palestinian land and lead to what is know today as the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The Arab-Israeli conflict has been an ongoing issue from the 1800s. The conflict is based on the struggle for land for both the Jews and the Arabs. When the 1947 partition plan was established by the United Nations to split Palestine into two states, the Palestinian Arab people ended up with less land than the Jewish (Jewish- 56 percent and Arabs- 43 percent of Palestine). This decision lead to war between the two groups, meaning that there was no peace.
The Palestinian and Israeli conflict is the one of self-determination gone all wrong, with a foreign immigrant population has expelled the indigenous people of the land to set up their own nation that is exclusively non-secular and intolerant towards other religions and ethnicities. The Palestinian Israeli conflict is one of the oldest and the most long drawn conflict of the 21st century. Palestinians continue to suffer in the Gaza strip or in Jordanian refugee camps as Israelis live on the land that is rightfully the Palestinians.
The Arab-Israeli conflict had many political disagreements. They were competing for land and competing nationalism. It wasn't caused by religion, where as many other conflicts had been triggered by religion. The Israelis were mostly Jewish but the Arabs were Palestinians and mostly Islamic. Both blamed each other for violence and we're both searching

The region of the Middle East frequently referred to as Palestine has long been the site of much conflict. In recent years, a major effort on the part of the International community has been employed in an attempt to bring peace to the troubled region, yet every time peace accords seem to be at hand, everything falls apart. In order to fully understand the enmity that keeps causing peace talks to break down, one must look at the roots from which the conflict stems. If the root of the issue can be clearly devised, then movements towards peace in the region will be much more succinct.
The land struggle between Israel and Palestine have never ended for almost a century. Today, though there are a lot of agreements, the conflicts and the possibility of the war are still existent. There four main reasons to explain why it is so hard to stop struggling for land: the history, water resources, vengeance, and religious.
