Israel+Palestine+Question

= I sraeli-Palestinian Conflict=



**Essential Questions**:
No, there might be a short time of peace but peace would not last for long because there are big possibility for them to ignite their conflicts. -Yes, people should able live together if they respect each other. -Not unless both group willing to agree with each other.
 * ** Can people live in peace together when deeply held beliefs and views are in conflict? **

No, I don't think the international community should help countries establish self-determination because when countries rise, it takes other countries' lands and resources. If the international community help them, that means they are helping ones to take over others resources. That's crime. -They should not get involve because it harms others property.
 * ** Should the international community play a role in helping countries establish self-determination? **

No, because it is immoral. If you don't like people do the things to you, then stop doing the same things to people.
 * ** Is it ever OK for victims to become the persecutors? **
 * ** Is violence justified when access to resources is cut off? **

-violence is never justified
No, Holocaust could not excuse for Israel. Because Israel had took over lands and resources from Palestine, people dies and family had destroyed along the way. Therefore, Holocaust could not excuse for Israel. -No, because we now then make Palestinian as victims.
 * ** Does the Holocaust excuse Israel from overreaching partition boundaries with Palestine? **

Israel vs. Palestine Cartoon Video: What is the message of the video? The message of the video is Palestinian Arabs keep provoke Israel, when Israel tried to defend himself other countries in Middle East show up and told Israel to back off. Time to defend yourself when got bully up again and again. This is pro Israel. The big kid is Israel. Israel did not start the fight, but they are going to finish it. In Israel's mind, the land is them, they are just going home.

What is the bias of the video? The bias of the video is Israel did something more than defend himself.

I n the late 1880's a group of Zionists traveled to Palestine to see what it offered as a Jewish homeland. One Zionist said, when he returned to Europe;
 * "The Bride is beautiful but she is married to another man" **
 * What was meant by this quote: It means Palestine, the homeland of Jews, had occupied by others. Palestine is beautiful but now belongs to Arabs.


 * Reflection: Part 1 Guide questions: **

I find the most interesting about the conflict is they both promised by the Britain Official for the same land.
 * 1. What information did you find most interesting about the conflict from this portion of the reader? **

The League of Nation did something ridiculous. It gave British and French quasi-colonial authority of former Ottoman Empire territories that they can mess up with the land in Middle East and give stupid solutions that cause the conflict worse. The US gave military supports for Israel to obtain lands from Palestine. The Hussein and Balfour and Sykes-Picot made the problem worse. US, British, France had got involved.
 * 2. Explain and give examples of how other nations and international organizations impacted the conflict. **

Visual timeline:

Observation:
 * Before 1917, Palestine was a complete Arabs state and not much Jews were living in Palestine
 * Jews settlers began to buy lands from Palestinian Arabs but 90 percent of Palestine still belong to Arabs in 1946
 * According to UN Partition Plan 1947, 53 percent of Palestine will become Jews state and 46 will become Arab state
 * After the Arab-Israeli War, Jews occupied 77 percent of Palestine and West bank and Gaza Stripe were controlled by Jordan and Egypt
 * As Israel began expulsion and campaigns, Gaza Stripe and West Bank were had less controls
 * Palestine wanted in UN because they wanted a voice

**Reflection on Guide questions 2**:
The war had caused millions of Palestinian refugees and Israel had over 80 percent of Palestine. Israel is getting bigger ====I feel sorry for the Palestinian refugees because they just lost their homelands and they were treated as second-class citizen in Jordan, and only Jordan is the only country that offer citizenship to Palestinian refugees; others would not. And millions of Palestinian still live in refugees camps.==== Second class citizen in Israel and treated as traitors by others Arab countries.
 * ** How did the UN try to keep peace in the region? **
 * UN tried multiple solutions to keep peace in the region, UN Partition Plan, UN resolution and so on, but they all failed.**
 * ** How did war impact the region? **
 * ** Reflect on the treatment of Palestinian refugees **


 * 1) e2205b

The international community play as a peace maker in the 1967 war. The Soviet Union started the war by giving false information to Israel.
 * Reflection: **
 * 1. What role did the international community play in the 1967 War? **

Israel used the English version of UN resolution 242 "withdraw from territories" to argued some land from the Middle East Countries. French version said "the territories" meaning all of the territories and English version said "territories" only meaning some.
 * 2. How can "language be used to one's advantage? (UN resolution 242) **

After war, Palestinian were govern under military administration and denied many basic political rights and civil liberties, like freedoms of expression. All aspects of Palestinian life were regulated and restricted. They were treated like that because of the Israeli feared the Palestinian uprising and surprise attacks. They wanted the state as a entire Jews population.
 * 3. Evaluate the treatment of Palestinian refugees by Israelis after the war? what are some possible reasons for this treatment **

Take control of the Air space of Gaza East Jerusalem had occupied by the Israel The victories of Israel were considered as aggression and forced them to force back Soviet provoked at Israel and US The President of Egypt and the Generals were forced to resign They force Israel to give everything back otherwise will give sanction to them
 * What additional information did you learn about the Six Day War from the Video: **


 * Reflection Questions for Guide Questions 4: (Copy,paste, and answer in your wiki:) **

Israel instructed troops to break the bones of demonstrators. They had killed over 1000 Palestinians, including over 200 under age of 16. And they also arrested massive Palestinian into prison. I don't think they could have handled differently because if I put myself in Israeli position, I found out that if Israel did not play tough the Palestinian would start to gain lands and powers. If Israel comprise with Palestinian by recognizing them as Independent state and giving them land back, Palestinian would have 2nd Intifada, 3rd Intifada, 4th Intifada and so on to achieve their goal, to gain all of their land back.
 * ** Evaluate Israel's response to the 1st Intifada. How could it have been handled differently? **

US President Carter tried brought peace between Israel and Egypt, peace were made between Egypt and Israel but the Palestinian question remain. US also tried to bring peace to Israel and Palestinian but failed. Because of all the conditions that Israel make to attempt the negotiation. Israel tried to give up some land in order to maintain peace with PLO but the land is not enough and PLO had losing fate by the Arab group.
 * ** 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. **

__**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.** Israelis view the barrier as protection from Palestinian attacks; Palestinian view the barrier as apartheid wall that separated Palestinian and Israelis. Palestinian feel they had discriminated against and the barrier had make them live harder. The wall had block Palestinian to access more source, it makes them second class citizens. **2. What do you see as the major stumbling blocks in the attempted peace talks discussed in this section?** The major stumbling blocks in the peace talks was Israel "withdraw" from Gaza Stripe. Israel never withdraw from the Gaza Stripe that had blocked the peace talk. Both party wanted all the land for themselves Palestinian wanted became an independent state but Israel wanted Palestinian as part of Israel.

**__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 Palestine should be a full member of the UN because I think that's the only way to keep peace in the Middle East, because by putting the 2 conflict countries in same position in the world could stop them from fighting each other if we put pressure on each side internationally.

**2. Evaluate how a lasting peace could be achieved in this conflict. Give specific evidence from your work** I think peace could achieve in this conflict if Palestinian will stacifed with their land and Israel willing to recognize the independent state of Palestine.

Comment on the video: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12uLHDOE8wAVMo4-V3LH9Hf64ezIf4N3tFd1k12MNr50/edit?usp=sharing

Which of the two videos presents the strongest argument and why?

I think the Pro-Palestinian present the strongest argument because he had provide specific details and event such as the wall cut through college and community; “the wall is not build for security”, it had separated a little child and her grandmom in different side. As what he said “What kind of security wall that have enemies in both side”, I believe the wall is not just build for separation but also a way of Israel try to gain more land from the Palestinian. The wall should be considered as the act of aggression instead of protection.
