Israel vs. Palestine

What is terrorism?

Terrorism is the use of violence to inflict fear or harm to citizens

TERRORISM

Terrorism is practiced by both Israelis and Palestinians .

The Israelis are the MossadThe Palestinians are many but the most

known is the hammas

How They Attack

The Hammas: Suicide bombings, Bus bombs they go for heavily populated areas.

The Mossad: Considered Police but are very strict and often shoot to kill if there is resistance to arrest.

Peace Talks

There has been many peace talks after wars to stop terrorism.

They have all failed and end up with more problems

Goals for Terrorists

To have freedom of religion(Israelis)To have everyone covert to Muslim (Hammas)To have the freedom of living wherever they

want. (Both)For TOTAL DESTRUCTION (Hammas)

How are Terrorist slowing down the chance of peace?

Terrorists in Israel are getting financial funding from Al-Queda, Hezbullah, and the Taliban.

They have too many willing people, and the attacks lead to wars, which slow down Peace talks.

History of Palestine

In 7000 BC Jericho became the first place in Palestine where humans built dwellings for themselves and they also built a ten-meter high wall surround the city. So Jericho is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth. “<http://www.webgaza.net/background/History_of_Palestine.htm> Gaza | Palestine | History of Palestine/ WebGaza.net Web. 17 Mar. 2011

the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. Human history in the region goes back 500,000 years or more, with civilization reaching the region shortly after the first city-states in Mesopotamia

Since that time the region has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Sunni Arab Caliphate, the Shia Fatimid Caliphate, Crusaders, Ayyubids Mameluks, Ottomans, the British and modern Israelis

Legal Stuff

Current Leader: Mahmoud Abbas Web. 21 Mar. 2011.

Legal Rights:In Israel there isn't a constitution but a basic set of laws and

usually they don’t apply to Palestine People

Obstacles

They believe that the Israelis took their home and that the only way to solve it would be to use violence and destruction of Israel. Many Palestinians nowadays believe that Israel is not really interested in reaching an arrangement, but rather interested in continuing to control the entire territory from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River

Religions in Jerusalem

Three main religions in Jerusalem: Christianity Judaism Islam

Similarities between the religions One God Prophets Angels and Demons Sacred Text

No one is willing to accept other religions, but rather they all claim Jerusalem to be their own rightful land

http://liztagami.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/yerushalayim-al-quds-jerusalem-the-christian-quarter/

Problem with JerusalemJudaism claims Jerusalem should be theirs because:

The site of the ancient and holy Solomon’s Temple Serves as a place to mourn the destruction of Solomon’s Temple It is the only capital of the Jewish state The center of Jewish life for over 3 thousand years ever since it was

conquered by King David God’s giving their Holy Land back to them

Islam claims Jerusalem should be theirs because: Believes it is the place where Mohammed rose to Heaven

Where he got instructions regarding Islam lawsChristianity claims Jerusalem should be theirs because:

Location of Jesus Christ’s childhood and adulthood It’s where he preached and where his resurrection took place

One of the first Christian communities was located in Jerusalem

Obstacles SolutionsNo one is willing to

accept other religions

They all claim Jerusalem to be their own

Not willing to shareAren’t Open Minded

How can the problem be fixed?

Split the country into two states united by one federal government

United States of Israel and PalestineBoth states could limit immigration how they

pleasedVotes for government can count for their

respective countries no matter where they live That way, Jews couldn’t vote for Palestinian government

and vice versaEach contribute 50- 50 to National Parliament

Solution Cont…

Will be split based off of where the most of each group live

Voting will be based off of what state you belong to rather than where you live

United Nations gets control over Jerusalem

This will work because both groups can stay live in the country they claim to be theirs

Both Israel and Palestine will be included in the country’s name

Each group will have to learn respect and accept each other, even if they don’t necessarily agree with the other’s beliefs
