Israel stood tall and ended up gaining 75 percent of Palestine’s…
the Palestine in the area of Israel and the Gaza Strip. Before Israel was declared a Jewish state, it was a place for Arabs known as Palestine. The Arabs were displaced when Israel was created for the Jews creating conflict and tension between the two groups. As Arendt describes terror, it is the form of government that comes after violence has destroyed all power (Hannah Arendt, 1969). This accurately describes that situation in Israel and on the Gaza Strip. The people have used so much…
Palestinian feminism is a global movement through which Palestinian women oppose patriarchal values and the violence of the Israeli occupation, and fight for human rights and equal treatment for all Arabs regardless of gender or sexuality. Palestinian feminism’s story is largely unknown. From the birth of powerful women’s organizations to viral Internet campaigns by young progressive activists during the Arab Spring, the motives and successes of Palestinian and Arab feminists rarely make…
been incorporated into many Jewish laws to stabilize the Jewish State as an expansive piece of land, which is only as big as New Jersey. The tension built as Palestinians were losing land. They now only inhabited-in mass majority within-Palestine and Gaza. At this time, the rest of the Arab States began to focus themselves on Israel with their military forces, attacking from Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. The war involved is still incorporated into the overall conflict and destructiveness among the…
I am simply blessed to be born into a well- off family in America. I could have been born into a Syrian household in Aleppo. I could have been born into a house in the Gaza strip. I could have been back in my parents’ old home country, Pakistan, a place which is not very safe at all, but I was born into a safe place and that is an amazing thing. Safety is so important. It is what allows you to feel complete and fulfilled…
Loud;Boisterous;Rowdy. But also fun; close;and happy. This is an accurate description of my family, my large and ebullient family that consists of my mother and father, and my four siblings:Nina, Michael, Stella, and Sara. Growing up in such a large family you learn very quickly the concept of conflict management. Conflict management is the process of limiting the pejorative aspects of conflicts. In a family where you have so many eccentric and strongly individual personalities confined to…
This is clearly present in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the Jewish community’s ties to the land that spans from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip. Through the eyes of its followers, the land of Israel is a big part of what defines Judaism. Founders of the religion walked on this land and created a powerful religion that is still thriving today. Davison’s mention of using geography as a tool…

The genocide in Gaza has resulted in 20,674 innocent civilians dead, all murdered by the IOF. Malcolm X fought against racial discrimination and advocated for the rights of African Americans, while the situation in Palestine involves the fight for their holy land and the rights of Palestinians, there are many similarities. Malcolm was also wrongly portrayed in the media, just like the Palestinians who are painted as terrorists. Malcolm would organize speeches that would raise awareness for the…
In this assignment I plan to answer the follow questions. Why the Cold War was considered “cold”? What is the most important term to develop from the Cold War era and why? And when should states intervene in the affairs of another state and why?
