Palestinian people

The Intifada is a Palestinian uprising in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. In December 1987 an outbreak of violent eruptions broke out. It was caused by the feud between the Palestinians and Israelis. The reasons why this happened were that the Palestinians were frustrated with Israeli concern, the war in 1973 caused hostilities, and the Israelis settlement policy was traumatic (Beitler). It had been 20 years under Israeli control for the Gaza Strip and West Bank and the Palestinians began to feel…

he was considered an unlikely mix between peacemaker and terrorist. He was a very important leader throughout a large portion of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as well. Throughout his career, he caused a lot of tension between Palestinians and Israelis. Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian extremist who had many contributions to the Arab-Israeli conflict like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Oslo Accords, and his status throughout the years. Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt, but…

in school. In order to gain more insight of the traumas inflected upon the Palestinian people by Israel, I will study the article, “Community Psychology Under Colonial Occupation: The Case of Palestine” by Mark Burton, which discusses his first-hand accounts of traveling to Palestine in 2013. He provides in great details how the state of Palestine became to be known as Israel. As well as the struggles the Palestinians have to go through on a daily basis. “Maltreatment and Coping Strategies…

to help people from around 100 countries (World Vision International, 2014). This highly complex operation depends on individual and government donations to be able to function. Therefore, they must have strong relationships with these key…

The conflict can be known as a modern phenomenon (Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 2014). After the end of World War I, the land that Jews and Arabs claimed was known as Palestine. Then, following the war in 1949, this land was separated into three areas: the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the State of Israel (World Report…

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 Jewish people wanted a country to call their own. As a result, they were granted part of Palestine, and this event was the major cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today…

The two elements of thought that most significantly challenged the Israeli commander as he executed his mission to remove settlers from the occupied territory in Gaza are Point of View and Implications and Consequences. The element of Point of View posed the greatest challenge because the commander understood both the frustration of the settlers due to his emotional and personal ties to them and the strategic goals of his government. As a result of his compassion, he was further challenged by…

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…

resulting in an ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. I will start by analyzing the Palestinian perspective of Plan D as compared to the Palestinian perspective. Next I will describe the historical context of the 1948 war and the events leading up to the implementation of Plan Dalet. Lastly I will describe the specifics of Plan Dalet itself in order to point to the long lasting implications it has had on the Palestinians. It goes without saying that the Palestinian perspective of Plan Dalet…

their leaders conflicting views promise a bumpy path ahead of them. What ensures the slow decent into darkness for the Israeli state and the U.S. is the rough relationship between the leaders, the reliance Israel has on the U.S., and the Israeli-Palestinian relations, which Israel is not trying to fix. The relationships between American government leaders and Israeli leaders are bad, perhaps worse than they’ve ever been. The U.S. President, Obama, and the Israeli prime minister, Benyamin…
