Joshua Riesenberg HIST-1493-010 Ms. Courtney Kennedy 4 December, 2015 A Song Heard Around the World “The allied nations with the fullest concurrence of our government and people are agreed that in Palestine shall be laid the foundations of a Jewish Commonwealth.” - Woodrow Wilson (1917) This is a story of freedom and home. One might expect any historical account of the Jewish people to be one of oppression and struggle, and for the most part that is true. However, one movement would not go…

The ongoing dispute between Israel and Palestine has been a constant struggle since the mid- 20th century. The novel, “The Attack” by Yasmina Khadra exposes the horrific reality of the brewing conflict between Israel and Palestine. The two groups lack understanding towards each other's views, have a strong hatred for one another, and the Palestinians pursue extremist acts to fight for their rights. The Israeli and Palestinian conflict has been arising for years, with no pause, declining to any…

There is a lack of evidence to prove that Israel had been pre-planning Arab expulsion during the first stage of the exodus. Therefore, it can be said that the civil war that was launched by the Arabs and expanded by both communities hit mainly the Arabs ruthlessly as the Jews were winning, which increased fear among the Arabs of being destroyed at the hands of Jews. As a result, those who could (middle and upper classes), left the country to save their lives, this is stated by Morris as the…

In my analysis, I found that it was understandable for the Jews to want to establish a place where their culture and religion was prominent, a land of their own. However, this land was already home to millions of Palestinians (Boris, 2016). So, when the state of Israel was created in 1948, it led to the Palestinian exodus where 700,000 Arabs fled or were removed from their homes. This was about 80 percent of the Arab inhabitants left or were expelled from their homes (Morris, 1986). These…

When Jewish people began to gather in Palestine in the early 20th century, the Palestinians who had been living there for the past several centuries understood the land to be their familial home. Their subsequent displacement from their homeland during the nakba caused an alienation of Palestinians from their homeland, both physically as well as mentally. The Palestinians have employed a number of methods to cope with the continuing trauma of their forced dispersion into lands across the globe…
