Israel+Palestine

=Israel-Palestine=



I think people can live together because if they can talk it out and reach a compromise without violating peoples basic human rights, also to not bash someone else beliefs and make them feel inferior because of them. Another persons view should not affect others and cause conflict. They could be more understanding.
 * ** Can people live in peace together when deeply held beliefs and views are in conflict? **
 * ** Should the international community play a role in helping countries establish self-determination? **
 * ** if people can help then they should help them. **

No, I believe it is not okay for people who are victims to become persecutors because you have to be better then they are and knowing what you have gone through not wanting to inflect that type of pain on someone else. One person made a bad name for certain people, their are good and bad people in every religion, race, ethic group and country. Violence are never justified. Violence is justified when access to resources are cut off by the government or someone in power. People have to survive. Resources are cut off then they have the right to fight.
 * ** Is it ever OK for victims to become the persecutors? **
 * ** Is violence justified when access to resources is cut off? **


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

I think that the Jews have to right to have a place of their own after everything they have been through and it's the least that we can do since it took so long to make the suffering stop for them. yes, the land does belong to someone else but considering all the lives lost in the Holocaust they have the right to that land. It' a little sacrifice for a big tragedy. Less half, little less land, the way they took over power is not right.

Reflection on Video of Israel Palestine:
The video was very bias towards America and Israel people, they showed how the Israel people were not getting fair treatment in the community and how the Jewish people had come in and taken everything. They did not show any view point or perspective of the Jewish people but made the viewer feel bad for the Israel people. They made America seem like they had gone and made things much worse and were not helping the situation at all. The goal of the video was to convince people that no country could help and that what the Jewish were doing is wrong. The people of other countries should not leave this situation up to the government but handle it themselves as human beings.

Opener: The message of the video is that sometimes you have to defend yourself because in the video that little boy kept bothering the big one and in the end he hit him because he would not stop and the whole school and media started to not support him but we all know that it was the little boys fault for not stopping. The big boy is the symbol for Jews and the little one is for Israeli people. They keep bothering them so the reason why they are taking land is because they will not stop. The teachers and principle are every international country trying to get involved. It is made by the Jewish people and shows that the reason why they are doing what they are doing is because they are just defending themselves. They are not showing the other side to it. Bias is towards the Israeli people and is about to get hurt and cry. Pro Israel video. They are overacting to the thing. They are not seeing the other side of how they were provoked.

I think this quote means that Palestine is a beautiful place, full of rich culture and history, but it belongs to someone else. Not everyone can have it. Like when the bride is married to another man. She is with him and the other guy wants to be with her but he can't do that. This quote basically is saying that Israel is married to the Palestine. Its a beautiful place but most of the people there are Muslims.
 * "The Bride is beautiful but she is married to another man" **


 * Reflection: Part 1 Guide questions: **

I found interesting how the place has so much meaning to the Jews and Israeli people. Israel has so much rich culture and religion from both sides. The conflict has been going on for years and years and it has resulted in a lot of violence. I learned new things from both sides of the problem and how it is affecting them. Also the reasoning for why the two groups think they deserve to be there some reasons are because of logic, the Jewish origin started there but others are also Biblical, why the place belongs to Arab and Jewish people because of the statements made in the bible. I also learned that there were many small feuds in Israel that were caused because of religious reasons. There was also blood shed.
 * 1. What information did you find most interesting about the conflict from this portion of the reader? **

France and Britain basically provoked some of the conflicts in Israel and they also changed their minds a lot.
 * 2. Explain and give examples of how other nations and international organizations impacted the conflict. **
 * The white papers angered Jews
 * Convinced Arab leader to help fight in promise of Arab State
 * League of nations signed over right to France and Britain


 * Reflection: Part 2 Guide questions: **


 * Reflection: Part 3 Guide questions: **

1. What role did the international community play in the 1967 War? 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?


 * Reflection: Part 4 Guide questions: **


 * Evaluate Israel's response to the 1st Intifada. How could it have been handled differently?
 * Evaluate the US role in the peace attempts in the region. What were the causes of successes and failures?
 * Assess the role of Israel and the PLO in attempts at peace.


 * Design a a political cartoon on the war and upload it to your wiki. Please also write the message of your cartoon **



"In corner we have a holly holiday that wants no violence."

"And this corner we have Egypt weighing in at we don't care we will attack anyway pounds"

Message: I did a boxing ring because in the ring they always announce general facts about the two boxers and someone always has to hit first and sometimes people do not even want to fight while in the ring they change their minds. So this shows how Israel wanted to celebrate their holiday without any violence but Egypt would not let them and attacked them on one of the most holiest holidays. It shows how all this fighting and violence is corrupting both cultures and religions, making them do things they normally would not.

__**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.** Israeli were okay with the barrier because they had to annex the Gaza strip so they would get more land and anything to make sure the Palestinians out would be good to them even if it means building a giant wall. They do not like or agree with the wall because it cuts communities in half. blocks routine travel even inside the towns and villages, and has totally reshaped the West Bank. About 95 percent of the barrier has electric fences, guards and watch towers. It is a symbol of how they are being treated. It is twice the height of the Berlin wall. There is only one exit and you have to go through a check point with Israeli guard.

**2. What do you see as the major stumbling blocks in the attempted peace talks discussed in this section?** I see the major stumbling block is that they cannot agree one land, how much land one group gets, where they get, who has control over what and I think by they will never be able to because there is just so much violence. The road map was supposed to help and discuss that but it didn't. Peace treaties only work if both sides really want peace and help getting it but if they do not want to have peace, which I really think that the Israeli people do not want peace at all, then you can not get them to agree on a peace treaty. They want everything.The one year gap that happened before it could help.

**__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?** I think yes because most of the decision being made about the country are not being made by Palestine. They are being made by other countries interfering and wanting land to and just added to the fire of hate and violence. They should be equal to Israel and be able to reveal there international issues. And with Israel taking over what was originally theirs.

**2. Evaluate how a lasting peace could be achieved in this conflict. Give specific evidence from your work** I feel like the only possible way for there to be a lasting peace is if the violence stops and they just sit down and speak to one another about land distributions and that they should be able to live equally and un hatred with one other. Like mixed up. There should be no more fighting and the land problem shouldn't be a problem. Jerusalem should be neutral ground. They saw each other as human beings instead of enemy's. = = = = =Views on the Barrier Wall= =Video: Explain to me Palestinian Statehood = = What does Palestinian Statehood Mean Mark up =
