Zionism, the movement of the Jewish people back to Israel, has caused conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians. The Jews felt they had the right to move back to their homeland or the Holy Land, but the Palestinians believe that the Jews do not have the right. Although some Jews are trying to see the Palestinian side, many are not. This is not to say the Palestinians do not need to see the Jewish side. (Chernin). Basically, if people would practice metacognition more often, this…

it. According to John Green’s crash course video on Palestine and Israel, in 1917 the Britishers created the Balfour Declaration, promising that they would give the Jews a homeland. They needed support from the Jews as their empire was collapsing, and the Jews needed a homeland as they had recently been persecuted from Europe subsequent to the holocaust. Palestine then became a homeland for the Jews, as they had been given a large part of Palestine which they considered their traditional…

with the Mandate for Palestine after defeating the Ottoman Empire. Britain broadly carved Palestine and Jordan into separate entities and with the Balfour Declaration declared Palestine as a Jewish homeland. Even though the majority of the land was divided in sanjaks—Arab tenant farmers under Turk sultans, with the growing anti-Semitism in Europe, Palestine saw an influx of Jews. The Jewish minority that had made up less than 10 percent of the whole population of what was Palestine received the…

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).

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…
