Israel+Palestine



Can people live in peace together when deeply held beliefs and views are in conflict?

No because if there is a conflict between beliefs and views the conflict isn't going to vanish until the other view or belief goes away.

Should the international community play a role in helping countries establish self-determination?

Yes I do believe that the international community should play a role in helping country establish self - reliance and determination.

Is it ever OK for victims to become the persecutors?

No it is never ok for the victim to become a persecutor because it is still continuing violence and i'm sure the goal that everyone wants is a decreased amount of violence.

Is violence justified when access to resources is cut off?

Not really because there are many forms of violence that is possible and sure you can cut off that way of violence however that can anger the person/people causing the violence. making a uproar with this violence

Does the Holocaust excuse Israel from overreaching partition boundaries with Palestine?

Does the issue of a holocaust make Israel deserve sympathy of what happened to them, I do believe that this excuses them because they have already lost everything and they have no where to go.

DJ on the Israel Palestine Introduction



Opener 4/11

The big boy is israel, as he just wanted to keep to himself and the palestine didn't like that and kept on bothering him/them causing Israel to retaliate

The little boy is Palestine, constantly bugging Israel.

The Bias is that it shows only what Palestine did to Israel which was no agreeing to share land because they were their longer but, Israel had it's bad moments as well probably even worse than the Palestinians

What I think this means is that how Jews want Palestine for it's Cultural Heritage, and religion, however the position was already occupied because that land was owned for many years by the muslims.

Guide Questions


 * Reflection: Part 1 Guide questions: **


 * 1. What information did you find most interesting about the conflict from this portion of the reader? **

What I found most interesting about this reader is that how this was Israel's original homeland and they do have a point how the zionist pointed them to come back to the original homeland so I found It cool to go back where it started


 * 2. Explain and give examples of how other nations and international organizations impacted the conflict. **

The UN. British and other organized fueled the war between Israel and Palestine by granting information.

**Reflection on Guide questions 2**:
1. ** How did the UN try to keep peace in the region? ** The way the UN tried to keep peace is by prohibiting the countries ownership of the land, it was available for all 2. ** How did war impact the region? ** The war impacted the region by having many deaths occur all around and also creating refugees of many people that have ran away to live in refugee camps which are still lived in too this date.

3. ** Reflect on the treatment of Palestinian refugees ** Palestinian Refugees are from the aftermath of the Israeli Palestine war, those who ran away because of the government using scare tactics to make them go away, having no where to go they turned to many places, how ever not being wanted, or welcome there they did not have the same rights as most citizens, the only place where they received full rights is Jordan, they ended up turning to many places such as, Lebanon,Jerusalem and even Israel. They had citizenship there, atleast they weren't completely disregarded but they still didn't have the same rights as normal citizens.



. The Growth of Israel was something that spread rapidly between the years, almost like a reverse effect happened between Palestine and Israel at Map 2 and the Last One .The Growth of Israel happened due from alot of aid from the UN and many of their plans like the partition place, etc.\ .Israel was a a pretty large size before they even got a official city for themselves or name for themselves, there was a large Jewish surplus there .The Jewish people were here at first and they were determined to get the land back, because the land growth expanded rapidly throughout the years. .Based on what I read it seemed even in map 3, however so much plans for Israel occurred throughout history and caused rapid growth among it.

There is definitely a movement between this year span for the growth of Israel


 * Reflection on Guide Questions 3:**

The role that the international community played in the 1967 war is that many people instigated the war, for example Russia was one of the major starters of the war as they did the biggest mistake, by telling Syria the wrong information and causing
 * 1. What role did the international community play in the 1967 War? **

Well with language translation being difficult and translating something word for word is hard that is what occurred for the UN resolution 242 as the English translation is worded differently and provides a combat to
 * 2. How can "language be used to one's advantage? (UN resolution 242) **


 * 3. Evaluate the treatment of Palestinian refugees by Israelis after the war? what are some possible reasons for this treatment? **


 * The treatment of Palestinian refugees was as they treated them as second class people after the war **

. It was a diplomatic struggle .Russia broke diplomatic relations with Israel .Egypt and Syria denied all causalities that happened during the War .Egypt had no support whatsoever .They didn't destroy anything .Israeli alone would decide the future of the war, or the aftermath. .Mosiah Siam? ( I don't know if I spelled that right) pledged to never give up
 * __ Additional information Gain from Six Day War Video __**


 * Reflection on Guide Questions 4: **


 * Evaluate Israel's response to the 1st Intifada. How could it have been handled differently? **

They responded to the first intifada by killing a Palestinians Civilian, they could have tried to settle it differently by trying to make a compromise but that

didn't happen.


 * Evaluate the US role in the peace attempts in the region. What were the causes of successes and failures? **

The US role in peace attempts was both good and bad in the region, with both different US President they managed to achieve treaties of some sort

however in the end they were always declined but not because of the US

attempts were incorrectly done it was because Israelis and Palestinians could never see eye to eye.


 * Assess the role of Israel and the PLO in attempts at peace. **

The role was to maintain peace between both groups before something gets out of hand




 * This represent Egypt and Syria catching Israel off guard during a Holiday, a religious holiday matter of fact and attacking them, also Syria and Egypt winking at each other symbolizing that peace that they ended up making peace with each other meanwhile Syria is sad because their military has suffered throughout this**

__**Reflection**__ **__questions on Guide Questions 5:__ (Copy and paste into your wiki)** **1. Discuss the viewpoint of the Israelis and the Palestinians on the barrier between Israel and the West Bank.** **The viewpoint of the Israelis on the West Bank is that they were trying to protect what they had already owned and make it become a full jewish state meanwhile Palestine was forced to be under something that they didn't want to making a huge cut between the community in two.** Basically trying to protect what they had already owned, They feared the terrorist activities so they decided that it was best to split them (Israel), they don't like it because it cuts their community in half and reshapes West Bank in General (Palestine) **2. What do you see as the major stumbling blocks in the attempted peace talks discussed in this section?** **That they always wanted Israel to give up the land and always acknowledge Palestine however there wasn't much done for them and they never ended up obeying that plan anyways**

They weren't a man of their words, never managed to keep up their end of the deal.

**__Reflection Questions on Guide Questions 6:__ (Copy and paste into your wiki)**

**1. Do you think Palestine should be a full member of the UN? Why or why not?** **They should get a chance to reveal their international viewpoints, it's only of israel that they are viewed bad upon, only haven't been a full member because of the United States doesn't vote them on they only side with Israel** **2. Evaluate how a lasting peace could be achieved in this conflict. Give specific evidence from your work** **A lasting peace could be achieve by setting the goals or reward for both Israel and Palestine because they cannot set anything for themselves because they can never agree on what is supposed to happen or not being able to see eye to eye.**
 * Palestine doesn't seem to agree with Israel at all, with that it doesn't seem like they would be able to work with anyone else because they don't really have anything to provide with the idea of the U.N to stop war and maintain world peace, and also the U.N already didn't recognize them as a member state.**

First they have to see each other has people and not as terrorists or enemies had to be done first.
