Israeli–Palestinian conflict could be described as a clash that between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs as they attempted to compete the same piece of land briefly (Dowty 2008:1, 4).

for the Palestinian and Israeli conflict have been halted. “Diplomacy under the two-state banner is no longer a path to a solution but an obstacle itself. We are engaged in negotiations to nowhere. And this isn’t the first time that American diplomats have obstructed political progress in the name of hopeless talks” (Lustick). The two-state solution conversation is just talk, there have been no efforts for action or true resolution. The United Nations have made efforts to help Palestinians, but have

are you from?” is a question most people are asked through their lifetime and usually the answer is quick and straightforward. However, the question gets complicated when the answer is “Palestine.” Can someone really be from a place that is not even allowed to be written on a world map, a place that is constantly followed by a question mark if it actually exists.

establishing a country in Palestine was by buying land and then moving there. Over the course of twenty-five years the Jewish people in Palestine made up at least ten percent of the total population, and by the end of World War II, Israel and Palestine had become two independent states. On May 14, 1948, the land was finally separated into two countries, but the Arab people decided to decline the existence of the state of Israel, claiming that the land belonged to them.

The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict has always been a well debated political issue and has induced massive migrations to more stable countries, such as the United States. Specifically, Chicago was a city of interest to many Palestinians who were seeking refuge at the time the conflict ensued. During the 1960’s, Palestinian migrants began to flock to Chicago in hopes for a better life. My grandparents left the war-struck region in 1967 to migrate to Chicago in search for a better life.
