When the Jews were forced to leave their country by the Romans in 70 A.D. They tried several times through history to get their country back. When the Holocaust was ended in May 8, 1945 it was still dangerous for the Jews to even return home. Germans were worried…

bombing incident against Israeli citizens. In his “Deadly Routine” chapter, Grossman works to show how the shock and destruction from the attacks has always been between the Israelis and Palestinians. Despite the hope for success placed on the Oslo Accords, the attacks continue and the pathway to peace seems to be the path untaken by both sides. Also, Grossman’s “Laundering The Occupation”…

The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians over territorialism and the establishment of a Jewish land and that of “the Troubles” in Northern Ireland between the largely Catholic Nationalists and the majority Protestant Unionists have many key similarities.

Nelson Mandela once said, “If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner” (Mandela).

In every conflict, there are multiple perspectives that come together to make the whole story. These narratives are rarely equally represented in media and pop culture, but that does not make any perspective less important or valid than another.

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…

“On that day, the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "I give this land to your offspring, from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.” Despite this Biblical assertion of the shared belonging of the strip of land East of the Mediterranean, its ownership is cause for a major conflict between two groups in the world today.
