Palestine Liberation Front

Bricks: The Influence of Space on Identity ‘In Hebrew culture throughout the ages, the Land of Israel has been perceived and depicted as the center, the homeland of the Jewish nation, and the role of the land in the Zionist narrative has been pivotal.13’ (Weiss 2015: 61). From this description of Israel, it is clear to understand why the theme of home is important to the development of identity in both When I Lived in Modern Times and A Pigeon and A Boy. In this chapter, the title ‘Bricks’…

this conflict does not exist in a bubble, and has a substantial impact on many people. Palestinian voices often go unheard, especially in American media. Due to the U.S’s alliance with Israel and Israel’s significant technological advantage over Palestine, most of the media coverage is from the perspective of Israelis, leaving the Palestinian people silenced. By directly interviewing those involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Dr. Rothchild made their stories personal for everyone…

in a vision from God to Isaiah. In this vision, God promises to create not only a new heaven and earth, but they believe God will create a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. This new Jerusalem is known as Israel and before that it was known as Palestine. Zionism was originally founded on a secular basis due to the anti-Semitism many Jews experienced in Europe. Originally Zionism focused on the political, cultural and socialist views therefore making it secular in theory. However, it deemed to…

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict began in the early 1900’s. When Jews that faced persecution due to the Holocaust began to return home. However, when they got home they encountered 1.2 million Palestinians who were now calling the same land home. In 1948 the United Nations and the United stated supported the Israelis in establishing the state of Israel. Many Palestinians were forced out of their homes by Israeli military force however; some were able to say in Israel. Both groups have fought and…

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is between two nations who claim the same land. The conflict began when Palestine became the land where Jews wanted to construct a sovereign Jew state. Before Jews began migrating to this land it was a multicultural land with a population of approximately "86 percent Muslim, 10 percent Christian and 4 percent Jewish-living in peace"(If America knew). As Jews continued to arrive the indigenous population which was Arabs became alarmed that their land was being…

as well as in a political sense. Although he died in January of 2014 at age 85, he has left a legacy and plan for Israel that will continue to grow and bring Israel closer to peace. Ariel Sharon was born in 1928 in a Jewish settlement in former Palestine (now Israel), which was controlled by the British. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia, and from a young age he was taught to fear the Arabs, as they were a threat in the Jewish settlement that he grew up in. This may have contributed…

In 1947, the British government was frustrated. They had spent significant time and resources trying to find an acceptable solution to their problems in Mandatory Palestine. Things were getting so bad that the British foreign secretary was quoted as saying “The Arabs, like the Jews, [had] refused to accept any of the compromise proposals which HMG had put before both parties.”1 Instead of a compromise, tensions were rising. Britain was facing an increase in Jewish terrorism, significant pressure…

similar origins. Both of these approaches to realisms are based on the idea that states are the main actors in an anarchic international system and these states want to maximize their power in order to survive. Observing the realism seen the Israel-Palestine conflict is important because it allows one to get another perspective of the issue. Not only does it allows one to gain a new perspective of the conflict but as Hans Morgenthau preached in his works, the idea that states define their goals…

of its hate towards Israelis and has committed terrorist acts over the years. I contend that if the Palestinian National Authority is truly committed to ending the conflict, it must first denounce the actions and beliefs of Hamas. Both Israel and Palestine would benefit from such a move. For one, Israel wouldn’t need to worry so much about its security during negotiations, but it will also be confident that Palestine’s intentions are well and truly peaceful. Denouncing the Hamas would not only…
