The Importance Of Standing Up To Israel

Many Palestinians are killed by Hamas, Israel, and ISIS forces because they believe Palestinian refugees shouldn't live. Every day some Palestinian refugees are killed for doing nothing and the refugees cannot do anything to save themselves from dying. It is hard for the Palestinian refugees to find food, water, shelter, and get medical attention if they get hurt. It is not fair that Hamas, Israel, and ISIS forces are attacking Palestinian refugees. The only thing the Palestinians want is to live in their homeland without having to be hurt by anyone. The life of a Palestinian refugee is difficult, but they haven't given up hope of surviving because there is always a miracle to save some of them every

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

Israel’s dominance of Palestine affected the country itself and its inhabitants. Through the entire process of Israel seizing Palestine, millions of lives have been changed forever, for reasons that will never be

Ignorance is what the Palestinians have. They don't understand that Israel does not belong to them. They acted violently towards the Israelis, abused them, and began a war in order to take over their homeland. Therefore, I feel sympathy for the Israelis and believe they should have Israel back. They should have it back because one, the birthplace of most Jewish people was in Israel, two, the Jews converted the land to re-establish themselves and create a country, and three, in 1897 Theodore Herzl, the first Zionist Congress, gave the Jewish people the right to a national rebirth in its country. Therefore, Israel should be given back to the Jews.

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

America has been a great benefactor to the state of Israel. However, America should not support Israel unconditionally because it generates deep hatred from Arabs and that the government of Israel has shifted away form the democratic ideal and beliefs of America. The unconditional support of America towards Israel has caused Arab terrorist groups to hate and kill citizens of the United States. Also Israel’s has turned away from a democratic ideal that grants equal rights to all citizens.

What surprised me most was that the information that I had learned was the complete opposite of the truth. Palestine has went through so much trauma and suffering because of Israel. They hardly ever have enough to live off of. Israel doesn’t want people fighting against their laws, they only want Palestine to do what they want. Israel has taken so much from Palestine, and they will suffer until someone stands up and breaks the chains on Palestine. Our two countries, the US and Israel have some values that are similar. We both love to be with family on holidays. We all help each other in times of need, and we all strive to have a better future for our children. Give them the life they deserve to have.

“For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste” (ESV. Isa. 60:12). This is what God said to Israel through a prophet named Isaiah. Many people in this country believe that the relationship between the U.S. and Israel is hurting our relationship with other countries. They believe that Israel is conducting immoral behavior. As a result, they believe that the U.S. should stop supporting Israel. However, there are good reasons for the United States to support Israel. Israel is an ally that is constantly under threat from Arab nations and the United States should be there to help and support Israel when those threats arise. On the other hand, Israel is mistreating Palestinians and is about to become a full-fledged apartheid state; the U.S. should not support such actions (Mearsheimer). Although Israel is on the road to becoming and apartheid state, they

The Arab Israeli conflict has been an issue for over many years. After the events of the Holocaust, many people believed that the Jews deserved a safe home to stay. Because of the Jewish background that says that God promised Abraham's descendants the land of Israel. By 1947, Palestine was full of Jews that were trying to escape the persecution known as the Zionist Movement. The Jews liked the idea of having a Jewish homeland. However the local Palestinian population of Muslim Arabs felt that the constant immigration was threatening their way of life. The conflict between the Arabic and Jewish populations had been constant for many years before the holocaust. It only came to light in the years after it ended.

Three Christian groups have collaborated to launch a 13-part original series titled “Why Israel Matters,” which aims to show how important the Jewish state is to America, Christians, and the rest of the world.

According to If Americans Knew, the crisis in Palestine, has been happening for decades since the end of the second Great War. Israel’s occupation of Palestine cause the spread of xenophobia within the region (“If Americans Knew”). To stop the spread of ignorance everyone should get informed about

Palestine deserves their own homeland as they face many dangerous events that happen within Palestine and Israel. While a home state for Jewish people is very beneficial in helping keeping Jews safe, it ultimately hurt Palestinians. Palestine's health is being harmed because they are not getting enough water due to the main control of the water supply being under Israel. Safety, peace, and terrorism is a huge topic that is occurring in the Middle East. Sadly, Palestine faces terrorism and risks safety everyday. Palestinians have had the right to return to their homeland since 1978; however, Israel is disobeying this order by keeping and even gaining what once was Palestine. The Israel-Palestine conflict needs to be solved and if the UN even helped in small amounts, Palestine and Israel could finally be a peaceful two

**It is perfectly acceptable to criticize Israel’s policies. Israelis do it all the time in blistering debates, but criticism turns into classic anti-Semitism, according to Stand with Us and Christians United for Israel in the magazine Israel 101, when it exhibits the Three Ds of anti-Semitism Delegitimization, Double Standards, and Demonization. “Delegitimization: The Jewish State has no right to exist. Israelis do not belong in the Middle East. Double Standards: Israel is condemned harshly for self-defense measures and social problems that are seen as acceptable or inevitable in other nations. Demonization: Through distortions and lies, Israel is depicted as the world’s most evil and dangerous country, and the claim is made that if the

The Israel and Palestine conflict truly does affect us all whether we realize it now or later.

Israelis have been oppressing Palestinians for a long time, which caused and causes, many different disagreements. As per the word of Khouri, Israel could indeed survive without Palestinian statehood, but only if surrounded by massive walls and protective missile shields (Khouri, Document 1). This statement illustrates the fact that Palestinians are unhappy with the Israelis and Israel’s survival depends upon the creation of a Palestinian state. Without Palestinian statehood, terrorist groups like Hamas would continue to attack Israel, and with partial justification. According to a map by Rima Najjar-Merriman, since 1946 the land of Israel has morphed from mostly Palestinian land to mostly Israeli land, but there are still the same number of Palestinians (Merriman, Document 3). This Palestinian loss of land has contributed greatly to the oppression of Palestinians. Another contributing factor is the fact that, as shown by a map titled “Israeli Settlement Population Growth,” Israeli occupation in Palestinian areas, like the West Bank has skyrocketed, forcing many Palestinians into extreme poverty (Document 7). It is circumstances like these that have caused Palestinian oppression, and thus discontent, which then have been instrumental in the decline in Israeli safety. If Palestine was granted statehood, both Israelis and Palestinians would be safer, in general.
