Israel+vs.+Palestine-The+Truth

=Israel vs. Palestine: The Truth= ===Why they fight: summary: I decided to research for my project about the Israeli and Palestinian conflict since it has to relate to tolerance. The conflict interested me due to hearing about it for quite a while now. I am researching on why and how it all came to be since i had no clue on what really was happening in the Middle East. With my info I have found can help me build my project on why they have this conflict which happens to be over land.===

(If Americans Knew.com + The History Guy) The land Dispute caused much tension due to the claims on territories. Starting in 1517 to 1917 no one had helped establish a territory in Palestine and they sought to use that part for the Jews. Jews had already begun mass immigration into Palestine to create a rebirth place for Israel which drove many Arabs to come for better opportunities.

In 1923 divided the Palestinian into 2 districts, and Jews would be permitted only west of the Jordan river. Britain had cut off 75% of the jews homeland to form an Arab Palestine. The remaining 25% of Palestine was to be the Jewish Palestinian homeland. However, sharing was not part of the Arab psychological makeup then nor now. The Arabs had launched numerous attacks upon the Jewish Palestinians to drive them out. The British had tried to solve this dispute but later turned away. Soon, it became clear to the Palestinian Jews that they must fight the Arabs and drive out the British.

Finally in 1947, the British had soon taken enough and put down the revolt by help of militias but made the fighting worse. Soon they turned the Palestine matter to the U.S. In 1947, U.N. Resolution 181 partition plan was to divide the remaining 25% of Palestine into a Jewish Palestinian State and a second Arab Palestinian State. Then on May 14 1948 Palestinian Jews declared their own state of Israel and became Israelis.

The result of the 1948-1949 war of independence was the creation of Jewish Sate. Arab was gobbled up by Egypt and Trans Jordan but later merged with the West bank allowing Palestine's living there citizenship. But the conflict over Palestine still goes on even today. Had Israel lost the war in 1967 the Arabs would have driven the Israelis out, but now Israel is willing to allow the Arab- Palestine's to have a state much of the West Bank and Gaza if they stopped attacking Israel

Commentary: After reading this, I related this to tolerance by both sides, Israelis and Palestinians not being tolerant of each other. I believe could have helped instead of wars and attacking each other which only leads to more violence resulting into more tension. Each side should be negotiable and settle with treaty's and stay tolerant and respect one another no matter if the line of history has been tampered with.

The History Guy: The Israeli- Palestinian Conflict

Present News: Both sides believe that they are entitled to Israel(Israelis) or Palestine(Palestine's) but they both declare claim on the same land.

Commentary: The conflict revolves around land dispute and each country should agree on one term on how to control this issue

(BBC News)

Palestinian Authority announced its intention to be a full member with the U.S, arguing it can no longer wait for peace to bestow independence on the Israeli- occupied Palestine territories.

commentary: In response to the conflict, joining the U.S could help bring peace with Israel and Palestine since they cannot argue with all the stress bestowing on each side.

(What Each Side Feel about Peace) Palestinian Views on Peace Many are aware of this subject and each have different points of views which include that many sought to not go toward destruction to claim what land they believe is theirs but to negotiate so both sids can have a solution for peace.

Commentary: My thoughts on this is that palestinain views seem realisti and can head in a good path to crate peace and by negotiating can help prevent future wars to happen again if this war ends soon.

Israeli Views on Peace Views on this subject deal with negotiations on sharing part of the land only with the Gaza Strip. Views also seek to trust and wanting to be able to trust thier government is a must. Each side feels as if one is asing for too much or too little. Commentary: Trust is a vital key in negotiations and each should decide on whats too little and whats to much to settle for.

(The Jerusalem Foundation) Tolerance Monument

The tolerance monument was dedicated to support tolerance and promote Peace toward the Israeli and Palestinian Conflict and show that if others can try to hold up peace why can't they.

Commentary: This monument is a great way to support peace and show tolerance because if it was built to get support then its doing its job. The great thing is that many cities have their name carved in to show support for the conflict to end.
