outside the boundaries of Palestine and Israel. The First Intifada in 1988 saw direct civilian and military combat between Palestine and Israel. The Intifada gained strength by being on the front pages of almost all international media outlets. Solutions to the Intifada confounded world leaders as Arabs, Israelis, Americans and other nations all had opinions and solutions regarding the outcome of the conflict. In the end, neither side in the First Intifada came out victorious. Both sides continued to go
On the 28th of September, of the year 2000, the second Palestinian Intifada took place. The main reason that sparked this Intifada was the provocative visit of Ariel Sharon, the current Israeli Prime Minister, to the Haram Al Sharif.

The olive tree is more than a tree. It is more than wood and leaves; to the Palestine they are the Palestinians themselves. Olive trees are not the grandest of trees, not the tallest, strongest, or most beautiful but they have the utmost importance and significance to Palestine. It is an economic staple and the center of the holiday of harvest season in the fall. Their origins begin between 3150-1200 B.C.E. but are traced to Palestine starting around 8000 B.C.E.

The Palestinian conflict has caused major issues in Israel's government. This problem was started in 1948 and has continued to rage on. This battle, fueled by territory control amongst the countries, has resulted in a large loss for the people of Israel. Hatred for one another has grown in the hearts and minds of the people in both Israel and Palestine. If this feud fails to cease, a far much greater and more costly loss will soon follow. It has specifically negatively affected Israel’s government
The ongoing and explosive Israeli-Palestinian conflict has its roots in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century when two major nationalist movements among the Jews and Arabs were born. Both of these groups’ movements were geared toward attaining sovereignty for their people in the Middle East, where they each had historical and religious ties to the land that lies between the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.

Crossing Borders The beat-up Arab minivan slowed tentatively under the scrutinizing gaze of the Israeli soldier on duty. The routine was simple. About halfway between Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem and Ramallah, the West Bank commercial center, the driver, blaring Arabic music on his radio, maneuvered around the dusty slabs of concrete that composed the Beit Haninah Checkpoint. He waited for a once-over by the Hebrew-speaking 18-year-old and permission to continue. Checkpoints-usually just small

After reading the documents provided, I have come to the conclusion that the territory now called Israel and once called Palestine, really should belong to the native Palestinians. As a part of the larger international conflict between the Jews and the Arabs, the Palestinian current living situations has been the “fuse” that ignites regional conflict.

The idea of power is a very important aspect to this conflict,
Ian Garrett Gonzales 4B Palestinian Islamic Jihad Israel is being attacked! The people of Palestine and Israel, may have heard about, witnessed, or even been a part of those attacks, but few know who the real culprits are and what they’re about. Rockets falling from the sky, suicide bombings, and violence seem to happen daily in the region. While they know it is the responsibility of a deadly group, they may not know their faces.

As the bread seller mentions prior, when the occupation first began, the wealthy went looking to work with the Israeli people in order to sell goods and make a profit (Khalifeh 68). The bourgeois’ hypocrisy about the working class working over in Israel emerges even more within the discussions in the prison.
