Palestinian people

created something stupendous: their own country. There have been many obstacles in the way for the Jews to do this, the biggest being the Arab Palestinians. The Arab Palestinians objected to the Arab Jews forming a nation and if it were not for the help of the United States, Israel would have never been able to overrule the power of the Arab Palestinians and take over the land for themselves. With tremendous support from the United States, the creation of Israel exemplifies the joyous and magnificent

independence from Great Britain in 1947, Arabic and Israeli people were both promised an independent states. Unfortunately, after breaking up Palestine into borders, Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting ever since. Now that Israel owns a majority of Palestine, Palestinians have been kicked out with no place to go. As Palestinians fight back for a chance to get their territory back, Israel’s use of superior military force takes down Palestinian forces with ease. The latest incident involved the killing

Israel when part of it was given to the Israelis. However Palestinians weren’t happy when some of their land was given away, and that started a conflict. That’s what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about, who gets the land. Israel used to be a Jewish state, so there are lots of places that are very meaningful to Jews. During the 1930’s many Jews were fleeing from Hitler and a lot of them moved to Palestine, for safety; meanwhile in Europe people were starting to think Jews needed a homeland, they thought

that exploring the Israeli-Palestinian struggles of and for nationalism through a Butlerian lens may lead to valuable insights into the use of nationalism by both Israel and Palestine. I specifically draw from Judith Butler’s Frames of War, to explore how both Israel and Palestine construct their struggles for (legitimate) nationalism in terms of livability and grievability. In particular, I will focus upon the conceptions of Zionism, or Israeli nationalism, and Palestinian nationalism, through the

What are the various interactions between Palestinian Arab Muslims and Israeli Jews as portrayed by Sahar Halifeh? “The thorns aren’t there to produce roses, they’re there to protect them.” Wild thorns is a interesting story about a man of Palestinian descent and his interactions with the Jews living in Palestine. This story about a man named Usama is an intriguing look at how the Palestinian people interacted with the Jews who were in governmental control of the region in which the story takes

City Planning and Palestinian Dependency in Jaffa The conflict between Palestinian and Jewish peoples has been ongoing and changing dynamically in the cities of Tel Aviv and Jaffa long before the formation of the State of Israel. Religious, racial and political tensions have existed for hundreds of years. However, after the formation of the State of Israel, the conflict has undergone a shift in dynamic as Jews have become the majority population in such the area and with that shift has come a change

it has remained static for a very long time. Right now in Israel, thousands of Palestinians are suffering from arbitrary arrest and detention; which is when an individual is arrested or imprisoned when there is no evidence or even the possibility that they’ve committed a crime or when there is no regular administration of the law where no citizen may be denied their rights(“Detention and Imprisonment”). These Palestinians once lived normal, and happy lives until they were taken from their homes and

little to do. He has become a huge role in hopes of creating peace between the two groups of people. The disagreement viewed from the outside perspectives are religious differences and people cannot come to terms with it. Since 1948 an going conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and all because it was thought necessary to

olive trees contradicted what my eyes saw on CNN as Anderson Cooper describes the use of a monstrous tank to massacre innocent Palestinian children. While I sat on a torn up seat of an rusty, twenty-year-old bus with one almost invisible air conditioner in the front, I thought about whether I would anticipate the serene lands of thousands of generations, or the dead Palestinian families lying in their bulldozed homes. Screech! As we eventually reached the Palestine checkpoint,

Israel’s success in dealing with the treats it came across was due to many factors. These included Israel’s military tactics; which is one of the most important ones. Israeli determination for an independent state, the disunity between the Arab people, territory and the role of the US all played a part in the triumph of Israeli survival in the years 1948 – 73. Israeli military tactics were a long-term factor of why Israel was so extraordinary at dealing with everything that was thrown at them
