1948 Palestinian exodus

he was considered an unlikely mix between peacemaker and terrorist. He was a very important leader throughout a large portion of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as well. Throughout his career, he caused a lot of tension between Palestinians and Israelis. Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian extremist who had many contributions to the Arab-Israeli conflict like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Oslo Accords, and his status throughout the years. Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt, but…

wrong with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians have barely worked with each other, so they have not been able to make peace and they choose to remain enemies. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict had been on and off for 100 years. After World War II, six million Jews were killed, and the remaining Jewish people wanted a country to call their own. As a result, they were granted part of Palestine, and this event was the major cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today…

The Co-Curricular I attended was a presentation given by Professor Daniel Kurtzer on the possibility of Israeli Palestinian peace. Despite a lifetime working to bring peace to the middle east with no definitive solution passing, Professor Kurtzer still remains optimistic about the chances of peace between Palestine and Israel. That’s not to say he did not acknowledge the difficulties that exist in solving the middle east crisis. Destabilization has existed within the middle east for decades, and…

their leaders conflicting views promise a bumpy path ahead of them. What ensures the slow decent into darkness for the Israeli state and the U.S. is the rough relationship between the leaders, the reliance Israel has on the U.S., and the Israeli-Palestinian relations, which Israel is not trying to fix. The relationships between American government leaders and Israeli leaders are bad, perhaps worse than they’ve ever been. The U.S. President, Obama, and the Israeli prime minister, Benyamin…

The Palestinian/Israeli conflict is an ethical issue that has been going on for half of a century. It has affected many innocent lives and there is no sign of this issue being solved in the near future. The Palestinian/Isreali conflict correlates into International law in many ways. State sovereignty is one of the principal ways in which this issue relates to international law. Palestine wishes to be be recognized as a state, wishes for sovereignty and wants to be their own country. Not all…

Another main difficulty in the region is the settlements built by Israel in Palestinian lands. Israel continues to build small communities, or settlements in the region of the West Bank, which continues to anger many Palestinians, namely Hamas. There are some who believe that these settlements may violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, which relates to the stability of citizens during times of war (Beauchamp). Alternatively, however, others believe that they may not actually be in violation,…

main obstacle preventing peace from being achieved is the people. As a member of the Israeli government, it was increasingly clear that he was a man of the people and their safety. The Israeli and Palestinian people living in the West Bank do not feel the need to move for different reasons. The Palestinians, as far as they are concerned, were there to begin with, and while the settlements do make up 20% of the population, they should not have to be uprooted so that Israel can have part of their…

We do not currently have teleportation, so we need real solutions for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since the 1967 War, there has been an ongoing Israeli military occupation, reducing Palestinian autonomy and harming the quality of life for Palestinians. Similarly, Israeli citizens have faced numerous terrorist attacks from radicals, creating a society driven by fear. The conflict is incredibly bloody, and it continues to worsen because the diplomatic representatives of Israel and Palestine…

Palestinians and Israeli people have been in a conflict for over 70 years over land. Many politicians have been searching for answers to the conflict, with the most prominent ‘solution’ being called the two-state solution. The two-state solution is the idea the Israel and Palestine are going to sign peace treaties and split the land they’ve been fighting each other for in half. The idea of Palestine and Israel getting along is strange, considering that while Palestinians don’t hate Israeli…

There has been several stabbing incidents by Palestinians against Israelis, which began in early October. Palestinians have attacked Jerusalem and central and northern Israel, and in the West Bank. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians began due to the two communities clashing at Jerusalem, the holy site in September. On October 18, 2015, an Israeli soldier was killed, along with many others wounded, during a gun and knife attack at a bus station located in the city of Beersheva.…
