Wording In Israel Language Analysis

But very few jobs were created to compensate for the huge population surplus. A cheap labor force was essential to the Kibbutzim, which forced huge numbers of Palestinians into underemployment and unemployment. During this time, non jews were thrust to the side to make room for Jews, their rights forgotten. “The compromise was terribly unfair,” because it gave the Zionists, who comprised seven percent of the population fifty four percent of the land (46). They were also given the best land , which forced Palestinians into more undesirable areas, and the economic plight of the Palestinians worsened.

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

As of recent years, with the rise of right-wing, nationalistic politicians in Israel, the hunger for settlement of Palestine has increased. Seeing the land as theirs to take, more and more Jewish settlements have been improved and expanded on in the West Bank, culminating and high profile confrontations between the new Jewish settlers and the Palestinian

Following the partition plan in 1947, the state of Israel was created in 1948. I will be discussing the extent to which the creation of Israel was a turning point throughout a hundred year period. The conflict can be split up into 3 different strands which include: Arab Israeli, Palestinian-Israeli, Western involvement. The Arab-Israeli conflict is the regional conflict that erupts in 1948 when the newly created Arab states invade Israel and is partially resolved by 1996. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the local conflict throughout the 100 year period between the native Palestinians and the Israeli’s, it is still unresolved. Western involvement represents the foreign nations that were associated in the conflict. My main argument is that the creation of Israel was the principle turning point for the Arab-Israeli dispute strand because; it transformed a civil war to an interstate conflict. I also feel that it was the principle turning point for the Palestinian-Israeli strand because, it saw a huge change in policy and led to the dissolution of the Palestinian people with many fleeing into surrounding Arab nations, this is known as the Palestinian problem. The Suez crisis was the pivotal moment for the Western Involvement strand because it saw a new era with the start of the Cold War’s influence in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Following World War II the British requested that the recently established United Nations determine the future of Palestine. After investigating the cituation, they came to an agreement that the country would have to be divided in order to satisfy the needs and demands of both Jews and Palestinian Arabs. Jews had acquired by purchase 6 to 8 percent of the total land area of Palestine amounting to about 20 percent of the arable land (7).

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

“The Zionists came and destroyed a sovereign Palestinian State and then kicked out all of its inhabitants forcing them to be perennial refugees. Just as bad the Zionists then erased all vestiges of this ancient Palestinian State and built their Imperialistic Racist State on the ruins of Palestine. This all happened in 1948 – 1949. There will never peace in the Middle East until the Zionist entity is destroyed and the indigenous Palestinian people are allowed to reestablish their state of

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

Finding justice for the Palestinian refugees displaced from their homes by Israel would require that Israel displace its own settlers that it encouraged to move

Life or Land? A Critical Review of Gershom Gorenberg’s A Bitter Prize: Israel and the Occupied Territories.

According to the research conducted by the American-Israeli group, the PCBS had inflated the Arab population of Judea and Samaria to 2.42 million. In contrast, the AIDRG concluded that only 1.41 million Arabs lived in Judea and Samaria. Here, Glick argues that the fact that 1.01 million fewer Arabs lived in Judea and Samaria means that Israeli annexation would not mean the end of the demographic integrity of the Jewish State. If the 1.41 million all became Israeli citizens, Israel’s Jewish population would still have a ⅔

Little did Israel know that the Six Day War would turn into a fifty year occupation of Gaza and the West Bank? During this occupation the Israeli Government placed settlement and settlers in the disputed territory for the purpose of keeping a buffer between Israel and the Palestinians as well as using the settlements and settlers as a means to keeping Gaza and the West Bank. During 2005 the Israeli government began removing settlers and turning the land back over to the Palestinian’s with the thought that holding on to it had become too big of a problem and it had become to taxing to the Israeli government (Monitor, 2015).

What they formerly knew as their home, as Palestine, was destroyed by Israelis and the UN. Palestinians had their identity and culture ripped away from them. They were dehumanized. After their dislocation, Palestinians had to “carve a path for themselves in existence (38).” Though there were a few Israeli Jews who witnessed this and tried to help the Palestinians, it was never enough. Israelis wanted a utopian Jewish state that was homogenous and felt Palestinians were in the way of that. Because of all the Palestinians went through, Palestinians’ way of life can never go back to being the same; their culture can never be like it was before Israel. Their identity is

“But the British government’s hope was that the UN would be unable to arrive at a workable solution, and would turn Palestine back to them as a UN trusteeship.” (Primer on Palestine, Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict) Although The United Nations decided it was best for them to voted to partition Palestine into separate Palestinian and Jewish states. “The partition plan called for two states roughly equal in size, but the border looked like a jigsaw puzzle.” (Crash Course, John Green) This partition did not work out very well. Shortly after the plan was announced the Arab-Israeli War broke out. Israel was on one side and the Palestinians and many Arab states on the other. Israel won this war and “they received a third more land than they would have under the UN’s deal.” (Crash Course, John Green.) The UN had tried to make peace between these two countries, but there plans did not

Following the Six-Day War, Israeli settlement and presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip formed a constant tension and unrest between Israelis and Palestinians. It is also important to recognise the climate of economic adversities and low quality of living conditions for the Palestinians due to Israeli focused government policies. This essay will discuss the importance of land ownership in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as the source of mounting frustration by Palestinians against the Israelis. It will also discuss the rekindling of Palestinian nationalism that was especially prominent throughout the Intifada.
