Shaking-off a Hell of Dependancy and Creating the Leaping Frog This essay assesses nonviolent actions that could leapfrog current issues perpetuating the Israel-Palestine conflict to bring about beneficial inter-dependence. To scope potential outcomes I will configure the fundamental interests of both parties, some barriers to reconciliation, then employing principles of Constructivist theory [1], explore harnessing and coordinating the potential of creativity and technology, as well as the influence

In 2006, the Hamas won the elections but were rejected by the West and so the Fatah stayed in power leading to the spilt of the two party’s. Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and Fatah the rest.

Although there are many terrorist activities brought to the public’s attention daily, most people only have awareness of a few prominent terrorist groups. Terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah have made a significant impact in parts of the world, yet few people have heard of them.
