Living in a place of constant fighting and tension is a reality for people living in Palestine and Israel. Israel used to be a country called Palestine. The people who lived there were either Christian or Muslim. After World War Two, many European Jews were scared to live in Europe fearing another holocaust. Great Britain convinced the UN to give them a safe country to live in. The UN decided to give them Israel. Many people believed that Israel should be split into two states, but others disagree. To make the best decision on what should happened to Israel they must understand how they conflict started, the current state of Israel and Palestine, and what would happen to both sides if Israel would split into two separate states.

In the article ¨War´s high Price: Children Caught in Crossfire,¨ Janine di Giovanni describes life as ¨a sea of desperation,¨ and of its 1.7 Million people ¨half of whom are children.¨ The Gaza is basically a Refugee camp for Palestinians who could not go anywhere else. They suffer from constant food shortages, power outages, and unsanitary living conditions. Children are afraid to go outside, and thus not well educated. Without education the children will not be able to find jobs, and have a high chance of being homeless in the future. Janine also states that there is ¨No way in or out of The Gaza strip.¨ Very few people are allowed in the Gaza strip. Most are from the UN Relief delivering food. None of the Palestinians are allowed out. Most people have little to no idea about what life outside the camp is like. BBC news declares that Palestinians do not have an army but, ¨Rockets are regularly fired from the Gaza into Israel.¨ Life in Israel may seem much better than The Gaza, but that could be further from the truth. They may not have the food shortages that they have, but people that live near the borders have to base their daily lives on the chance of a rocket attack from The Gaza. Both Israel and The Gaza have to deal with the fighting due to the …show more content…
In the Article ¨What terms for Middle East Peace would actually work?¨ it talks about what the peace treaty would do to prevent anymore fighting. The first decree is that it ¨will recognize the state of Israel and Palestine.¨ Israel then would no longer have the need for fighting. The Arab states around them would be forced to see them as a country. This statement would also give the Palestinians a permanent and stable home, so they would not have the problems that they face now. The next decree is about the holy city of Jerusalem saying that it ¨will be the capital of both Israel and Palestine.¨ Jerusalem is one of the holiest cities for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. If it was to be the capital of both states there would be less religious conflict over the area. One problem that many people see in this treaty is that ¨Israel could face charges with crimes of war,¨ says Drew Christiansen and Ra´fet Aldajen. The reason for this is that Israel has invaded The Gaza on serval occasions. Many times for no apparent reason. Many unarmed Refugees died in these invasions. If Palestine becomes a country, they have the power to charge Israel of war crimes. Splitting Israel into two states has benefits and has a serious
