Palestinians were not happy with Jews suddenly given land that was originally theirs, so they invaded. The Israelis were able to push the Palestinians back to the West Bank. Both the Israelis and Palestinians were letting extremists lead, and peace was not appearing. Eventually, Israel built a wall around the West Bank called the Israeli West Bank Barrier. The wall helped…

The invasions were launched from Egypt in an effort to clear an Egyptian barrier at their port of Eilat. Measures of holding a peace treaty to stop the attacks that were meant to gain control over the Suez trench were otiose and an assault was the only possible means of defense of Israel.

There has been a centuries old conflict between the Muslim Arabs and the Israeli Jews over the rights of ownership to the holy land. Arabs and Jews began to express nationalism for their religious beliefs which was part of the reason for the conflict between the two sides. Because of this the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intensified in the 1940s and has expanded with much violence on both sides in the 2000s.

Khalifeh’s critique of not only the Israeli occupants, but the Palestinian aristocracy as well, demonstrates the difficulties of the Israeli occupation where the people may not be as poor as they once were, but Palestinian homes are blown up daily. The Palestinian working class people, forced to choose between nationalism and supporting their families, must…

on the Palestinians, and by appealing that Israel is the perfect democratic state. Jimmy Carter’s The Blood of Abraham on the other hand takes a country by country approach to provide a personal experience and interpretation based account on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the beginning of The Blood of Abraham, Carter already displays a misunderstanding on the…

this is that of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. This conflict is often cited as the cause or at least the catalyst for a myriad of other issues and conflicts in the region by both western and Middle Eastern leaders. As Ross points out “The major problem with this premise is that it is not true.
