Why Palestinian Children 's Rights Are Protected By International Government

The west had been essential to the nation’s creation, and exerted its power in Israel. Israel’s leaders developed allegiances with western countries which had been essential in the formation of their country. Tension in the area grew, both inside and outside of the state, and violence was used against both sides. However, measures were not taken to undue the problems that had arisen from the unfair nature of the agreement. “Palestinians had been branded as ignorant, hostile, and violent” and non-Jewish groups found it difficult to practice their religion as they had before. Despite the obvious inequities that were growing, the west did little to alleviate the pain that it played a large part in creating. It seemed as if “People in the west seem so taken with material things, It’s as if they have nothing in their spirit, so they need to surround themselves

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.

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.

The Palestinian narrative is one of a stable society uprooted by European Jewish settlers and subsequently subject to unjustified Israeli violence, emphasising “the history of Palestine, the poignant testimonials of Palestinians living under grievous conditions of occupation or exile or imprisonment, [and] the betrayals by international and national leaders.” Take

Topic sentence In the Middle East numerous rights have been violated according to the United Nations, these rights are getting violated by the government, terror groups, and local Militias. One thing that should be kept in mind that culture and other practices aren’t the same in every country so we must remember that the western way isn’t always the right way.

Ishmael Beah is now a member of the Human Rights Watch Children’s Rights Division Advisory Committee and has spoken before the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities (CETO) at the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, and many other NGO panels in children affected by war. He is also the head of the Ishmael Beah Foundation, which is dedicated to helping former child soldiers reintegrate into society and improve their lives. To close, both Ishmael and Mariatu had suffered greatly from the war, but have used their encounters in a positive manner by providing awareness to the world about the lives of victims of

One form of trauma Palestinian children faced during the Gaza War in 2008 was psychological maltreat from their parents. Both parents are dealing with their trauma of the war and are taking it out on their child in different ways. Fathers tend to be physically and mentally abusive to their child whereas mothers tend to neglect their child. According to Palosaari’s article, the children go through “emotional abuse [and] emotional neglect” (958). The way Palestinian parents are raising their children has been greatly affected since the war. Fathers tend to pay more attention to their child and focus on disciplining him more when he does not do what’s expected of him. Mothers tend to neglect their child because they do not want to cause any conflict

When one discusses the Arab-Israeli conflict, the individual notices that there are different narratives based on the time period and location of where the situation is being addressed. Generally, the narrative points out the plight that civilians are subject and have been subject to in the past, and uses it to justify their future actions against the opposing side. However, for Palestinians and Israelis, the narrative differs because they have been in such close proximity with each other, and they are the main protagonists of the conflict. “On the Attitude Toward Children in Wartime” by Dahlia Ravikovitch is a poem that focuses on the topic of children in wartime, specifically Palestinian children who were still living in the land. In the

Throughout the 20th Century relations between Arabs and Israelis in Palestine have undergone immense tension, change and deterioration, with both parties facing many barriers to peace. Foreign intervention is often listed as one such barrier to this peace. While the importance of foreign intervention cannot be omitted, other factors can be argued to have been both equally and more detrimental to the peace process. These include the founding of the Haganah, the 1948 War after the declaration of the State of Israel, and the rise of political extremism. The aim of this essay is to identify

Focus on Palestinian-Israeli conflicts in recent history, where Israel has won time after time and “the Palestinian people have been shattered and dispersed.” (p.xiii)

Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, there has been constant fighting between Israelis and Arabs. The Israelis have the right to live peacefully in Israel, but there is a conflict because the Palestinians feel that Israel is their land. During recent years the conflict in the Middle East had been exploded on to our television screens. Day after day images of violence and suffering have dominated the news. Scenes of heavily armed Israeli soldiers facing young Palestinian children hurling stones with slingshots- like Goliath facing David- have evoked dismay and confusion. The vehemence of the Palestinian reaction is a result of years of pent-up anger and frustration. The Israeli response has been swift and determined: Palestinian towns

The psychological long-term effects of political violence on children are severe and extremely traumatizing. Also proven by www.healingdivides.org, many more children have developed psychological impairments than physical disabilities. In a recent study, it was found that 50% of injured children have developed post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition, around 34% of Palestinian school-going children have developed the sam disorder. In another study based on 1000 school aged Palestinian children by www.healingdivides.org, 547 children reported that they have experienced at least one largely traumatic event during their life. The most common events were of political traumas by the Israeli Army. Next, among 270 children who had experienced political traumas by the Israeli Army; 125 were injured, 96 had a family member killed, 45 had been imprisoned/beaten up and four had their houses destroyed. The remaining 341 children of the 527 had been diagnosed as having full post-traumatic stress. This study displays how the Israeli Army is having a huge impact on the children and their lives. It is hurting them in ways which are unimaginable. Moving on, it has been confirmed from www.healingdivides.com, that girls between the ages 5-14 are most vulnerable. This is because they are experiencing more hormones and tend to get more emotional, causing more impact mentally on their brain. Among the youngest children, the most common signs of distress are crying and clinging to their parents. According to www.healingdivides.org, children of ages 6-12 experience more of aggression and rebellion as signs of fear and anxiety. Lastly ages 13-18 are most likely to suffer from risk behaviour, feeling of helplessness, frustration and withdrawal. More than 500 children had experienced horrible heart-breaking events which will stay in their minds forever. Even though many have been injured, more have been mentally maimed which in

As part of Arab society and culture, family “affiliation provides security and assures one that he or she will never be entirely without resources, emotional or material… family is indispensable in an unpredictable world; the family is a persons ultimate refuge.” The Palestinian family is not marginal but rather central to the very history of the region and the lived experiences of those residing in Occupied Territories or those scattered globally.

In the poem “I am Yusuf oh father” Mahmoud Darwish tries to give the readers a vivid insight into the relationship between Israel and Palestine by comparing Jews practice of oppression to what Yusuf's brothers did to him. Through the guise of the story of yusuf and his brothers, Darwish subtly hits at the core of the problem that Palestinian have with Israel Jews: The Zionists dispossession of the native population. For several decades Jews have been trying to change the Jewish majority in Israel and make Palestinians as outsiders in their own homeland.Most Zionist leaders had negative perceptions of Arabs, based mainly on European colonialist ideology and treat the Arabs with hostility and cruelty and deprive them of their rights.In this poem, the poet addresses Israelis as crule brothers that lay no mercy upon their poor little weak brother.in this way The poet uncover the horrible acts and actions of Israelis who supposed to be Palestinians' brothers in humanity want to kill Palestinians to put their hands on Palestinians land, but they refuse to share their own home with them.

Violence against children is a phenomenon happening worldwide, in forms of physical, psychological violence. Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long-term consequences for children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children’s rights are often not effective.
