This reading discusses the events leading up to the British Mandate as well as the after effects of its implementation. The Balfour Declaration announced British support of Zionism, provided that no injustice was done to the native Arab population. The Declaration became solidified in international law when the League of Nations wrote it into the British Mandate for Palestine. While Zionist saw this as a long-awaited charter and renewed hope after the brutal years of WWI, Arabs viewed it as “simple colonialism.” Although they disagreed on the methods, time after the Mandate allowed for Labor Zionists, General Zionists and Religious Zionists to work together under a common goal. Palestinian politics was stratified and was weakened by a…
By depicting itself as a “dual society,” both Zionists and Arab Palestinian Nationalists could take advantage of how the outside world viewed what was happening in and around Palestine. Though the evidence proves that such an environment did not exist, the “relational” paradigm still does not show us a completely nuanced view into all that happened on the side of Arab history. There are still many unknowns in pre-Aliyah history that have been lost due to the destruction of archives, libraries, and homes that would have been able to offer more concrete evidence to how Arabs lived in the region. Piecing together Palestinian history now depends heavily on Zionist documentation and more recent Arab Nationalist documentation and newspapers. The events that transpired during this time period created a complicated environment that historians have to learn how to navigate in order to document history as it really happened, instead of the victor’s tale.…

The conflict of the wall ever since it started in 2003, it has affected the lives of Palestinians severely. For instance, schools were close to where the wall was being built; thus, children were not able to concentrate in school because of the tear gas, and the loud sounds. In addition, Palestinians were banned from their villages and their homes were destroyed. According to the Palestinians in the documentary, Jewish soldiers would go out at night to the Palestinian villages to destroy the olive trees.

Many ideological groups were present within Palestinian society which left a lack of clear government and little unity between Palestinians as a whole. Unified, the Palestinians drastically outnumbered the Israelis and likely would have been able to prevent their subjugation. However, operating as a disjoint unit, Palestinians fell prey to Israeli occupation. Sahar Khalifeh is clearly critical of these divisions in Palestinian society, in particular the division between the different age groups in Palestine and the division between those of different political ideologies in Palestine. Those of the older group in Palestine clearly felt more strongly about the corruption of submitting to Israel by taking actions such as working in Israel.…

In a realist perspective this is one of the worst thing that can happen to a state because a loss of power mean a loss of national security.

If the Muslims were united and followed the path of God, then the collective strength of the Muslim nation is so great that this cruelty against Palestine could never have taken place” (Ahmed). Ahmeds’ point is that if Israel cannot establish peace and justice within themselves how are they supposed to relay those values to Palestinians. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and in this case both sides continue to lash back at each other committing one war crime after the next with no gain of peace what so ever. The President of the State of Palestine Ahmoud Abbas States “Our efforts are not aimed at isolating Israel or de-legitimizing it: rather we want to gain legitimacy for the case of the people of Palestine. We only aim to de-legitimize the settlement activities and the occupation and apartheid and the logic of the ruthless force, and we believe all countries of the world stand with us in this regard” (Abbas).…
