Palestinian territories

nations – Syria, Egypt and Jordan - which was led from June fifth until June tenth 1967. The pressures amongst Israel and the Arab nations escalated from the mid 1960 's because of different psychological oppressor assaults and penetrations of Palestinian fear mongers from Syria, Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and the Sinai Peninsula into Israeli domain. These activities were motivated due to the backing of the Arab nations. The strains were expanded by Syrian shelling of Israeli settlements in the…

Palestine is the Holy Land, though it doesn’t seem like it. For the past century, Palestinians and Israelis (Zionists) cannot seem to like each other or at least try not to kill each other. The hostility between these two “countries” is extremely controversial. The Palestinian revolts have been escalating and there have been two intifadas that have killed thousands of people; it is just a matter of time for the third one. With the way things are going it will likely happen sooner than later. The…

The UN Resolution 242 states “withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict” (Tal, “Arab-Israeli”). When this statement is translated into other official UN languages “the” precedes “territories”. Only the English translation lacks the term “the” in front of “territories”. Since the Israeli’s used the English translation they were not forced to give up the occupied territories instead only some. Palestine and their allies such as Egypt, Jordan, and Syria…

In the early hours of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Zionist groups Irgun and Stern Gang, attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin with the intent to kill as many Palestinians as possible. The Zionist gangs fired at the entire village, families were rounded up and executed, and about twenty five pregnant women were killed. The final death toll was about 254, half of whom were women and children. Hayat Al-Balbisi, a 19 year old schoolteacher and Red Cross worker, heard about the massacre…

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 more Middle Eastern countries in the peace process. By ridding of surrounding small problems, Kerry believes he can rid of the large scale issue and lead Palestinians and Israelis toward a large solution. John Kerry…

I would like to answer how far the notion of kin-country syndrome from Samuel Huntington defines the issue of US attitude towards Palestinian-Israeli issue. But at first, I would like to define the definition of kin-country syndrome. Kin-country syndrome is a theory that initiated by Samuel Huntington on his thesis about Clash of Civilization, Kin-country syndrome means states or groups that have the same civilization, and engaged in a war against other groups of different civilizations, in…

The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the day the state of Israel declared independence, days ahead of the official end to the British Mandate in Palestine in 1948. While there were some minor conflicts and skirmishes between the Arabs and the Jews prior to 1948, those ongoing tensions erupted into a full civil war and countless bloody battles that have claimed the lives of many innocent people and have dominated the international political arena for over seven decades.…

John Kerry plays a crucial role in the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict started after the UN agreement to give half of Palestine to the Jews and claimed the state known as Israel. The Palestinians began to question why they need to share their land with the Jews, and war broke out. The two sides in this conflict are the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs or Palestinians story is that they feel suffrage and punishment as a result of how the Jews…

I will claim that the Arab-Israeli conflict has been one of the central themes in Middle East politics since 1948. The creation of the state of Israel and subsequent claims of territory has been the cause of many wars in the region. The displacement of the Palestinian population has caused resentment among the Palestinians and aggravated neighbouring states that were the recipients of the displaced populace. Backing by the imperial power of the United States of America only further serves to…

Many Americans reactions are based on what the media says. If the media is leaning towards one side, Israel, then the mass population will follow on that side. Palestinians are viewed as the threat to the Israelis and this is how America has perceived them. The Native Americans went through a similar situation as the Palestinians by the Americans. History is re writing itself and we are standing on the wrong side of it. The Holocaust is taught in depth in Germany so that the society can learn…
