Israeli settlement

The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the day the state of Israel declared independence, days ahead of the official end to the British Mandate in Palestine in 1948. While there were some minor conflicts and skirmishes between the Arabs and the Jews prior to 1948, those ongoing tensions erupted into a full civil war and countless bloody battles that have claimed the lives of many innocent people and have dominated the international political arena for over seven decades.…

Strip and West Bank. In December 1987 an outbreak of violent eruptions broke out. It was caused by the feud between the Palestinians and Israelis. The reasons why this happened were that the Palestinians were frustrated with Israeli concern, the war in 1973 caused hostilities, and the Israelis settlement policy was traumatic (Beitler). It had been 20 years under Israeli control for the Gaza Strip and West Bank and the Palestinians began to feel disheartened. Many Palestinians grew up under the…

John Kerry plays a crucial role in the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict started after the UN agreement to give half of Palestine to the Jews and claimed the state known as Israel. The Palestinians began to question why they need to share their land with the Jews, and war broke out. The two sides in this conflict are the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs or Palestinians story is that they feel suffrage and punishment as a result of how the Jews…

Ariel Sharon has been a prominent figure in the Arab-Israeli conflict since the creation of Israel in 1948. He has played a major role in the defense and progress of Israel both in a military sense as well as in a political sense.

Ariel Sharon was born in 1928 in a Jewish settlement in former Palestine (now Israel), which was controlled by the…

tangibility of land alters Israel’s perception of potential success. Israeli Jews become more ethnocentric when they perceive a goal is easily attainable. For Israel to defend itself, the state must have access to all the land and airspace of Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank. Therefore, a single state in Israel is the only viable solution to ensure Israel’s security. After the transition to a unified central state, Palestinian and Israeli forces will be integrated to ensure…

supporting the Palestinian story and reducing possibilities for "land for peace." Fields leaves out the reasoning behind Obama’ decision. In an article from the Chicago Tribune, called “Obama Administration Declines Veto on UN Condemnation of Israeli Settlements,” it outlines the key points that influenced Obama’s decision. “In a statement, Secretary of State John Kerry said the vote was guided by one principle: ‘To preserve the possibility of the two-state solution.”’ Fields clearly leaves out…

“The Problem is Palestinian Rejectionism,” by Yosef Kuperwasser and Shalom Lipner and “Israel’s Bunker Mentality,” by Ronald Krebs attempt to dissect and solve one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts in recent human history, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yosef Kuperwasser and Shalom Lipner discuss that the one thing that’s stopping this conflict from being resolved is Palestinian reluctance to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. On the other hand, Ronald Krebs argues that it’s in…

jewish settlements caused the Arabic natives to be moved to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

This lead to Israel becoming a country after the war and being accepted by the United Nations. In 1969, Israel began a war against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. In the end of the war, Israel had claimed the Gaza Strip, the Sinai peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. In the…

The Arab-Israeli conflict originated in a fight for land that transformed into a political and religious clash. Throughout the years, Jews and Palestinians fail to peacefully coexist in a land they both believe they are entitled to reside in. The territory, which is only 10,000 square miles, encompasses a wide range of people with different cultures and religious backgrounds. The Palestinians are defined as the Arabs who are of mainly members of a Christian, Muslim, or Druze religion and whose…
