Oslo Accords

John Forbes Kerry impacts the peace process in the Arab-Israeli conflict through putting forth actions to get both sides closer to peace. His main goals are to target and eliminate fighting extremist or intensely opinionated groups. By removing the violence between the Palestinians, the Arab side, and the Israelis, each side can communicate on peace terms. Kerry has made valiant attempts at ending fighting through recognizing the Palestinian demand for a country of their own, ceasefires, and…

I/ Introduction: This paper was commissioned by Ms Xiang Gao, a lecture at International Pacific College (IPC). Its purpose is to examine and analyse the conflict between Palestine and Israel in Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Palestine can be considered the most intractable conflict in the world. This conflict has been started since the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Israel is the country, which is the only Jewish state in the world. It locates in the East of the…

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). This quote signifies everything wrong with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians have barely worked with each other, so they have not been able to make peace and they choose to remain enemies. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict had been on and off for 100 years. After World War II, six million Jews were killed, and the remaining…

European Union, and the United States. These four groups together make up what is commonly known as the ?Middle East Quartet? and have worked together, and separately to broker peace between the two groups with limited results. The Summits, and Accords organized by the Quartet often falter, or end is open ended promises (pending future concessions.)…

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. In reality, the integration of these narratives comes closest to showing the ‘truth’ of situations. Voices Across the Divide, a documentary directed by Alice Rothchild, seeks to give a voice to the Palestinian people, whose narratives are so often…

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. Since the development of Zionism in the 1940s, Israelis and Palestinians have been in a constant state of disagreement over the physical and political boundary,…

Part of this separation Barrier is being built inside the West Bank, on the Palestinian land” (Budrus). In the movie the Budrus showing how the occupation forces trying to take six Palestinian village in one section to join the rest of land in West Bank. This was the most poignant part from the film because many of Palestinian people trying to live in peace with occupation…

In A Doll’s House Ibsen uses the doll metaphor to develop the theme of entrapment and by extension to illuminate the social backdrop of the time period that gives rise to the many issues and conflicts between the characters in the play. Nora serves as a wife and mother, but not as an equal to Torvald; rather a majority of the protagonist’s stage time is spent as a doll: a weak obedient character with little individuality, her existence a compound of societal norms and the expectations of others,…
