Essays on Palestinian

Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

In December 2016, the US Secretary of State stated that, Israel would either have to be a Jewish State that does not intrude into Palestinian “land” or it should be democratic whereby Palestinians would be given equal rights as dignified citizens of one-state of Israel. This was something many Republicans and Conservatives found to be negative and Anti-American. The purpose of this paper is to argue that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be solved. This paper will use elements of persuasion to establish a case to prove that America must stay away from imposing its will on ...

The war between Israel and Palestine presents an important moral paradox and tragedy of this age. This is because on one hand, several innocent lives are being lost and, on the other hand, it is a war that must be fought by all means and has proven that it cannot be fought morally. In this regard, therefore, it may be said that the war is collateral for a better future. That stems from the justification and necessity that Israel had in waging war against the Hamas. Israel acted on self-defense since Hamas continued bombing Israel’s territories and its ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

The Middle East history has a high number of full-scale, inter-state wars, such as the wars due to Arab-Israeli conflicts, Yemen war, and Iran-Iraq war. The Arab-Israel conflict has two elements to it, which are the Israeli-Palestinian element and the Israeli-Arab element. At the end of the 1800s, the Promised Land was set up so that the Jewish people can overcome the anti-Semitism and persecution and the migration of Jews to the Promised Land created issues. During WWI, the British convinced the Arab Leaders to revolt against Ottoman Empire as they support Germany, in return for which the British ...

In our online lesson, we learned that the Middle East came to existence through the efforts of countries such as Russia, France, and Britain. For quite a long time, the Middle East has been the center of contentions that have had a worldwide effect. The Middle East summons immense oil assets and key conduits including the Persian Gulf. Amid the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States needed access to the oil and the conduits. Since the conclusion of the Cold War, Western countries have acted to keep local forces from meddling with ...

Assignment Title Over the years, women from different parts of the world have been part of resistance and protest movements that seek to bring about a change from the existing social, political and economic order. They have been in the forefront when it comes to fighting against imperialism, environmental degradation, patriarchy, war, deforestation and much more. They also fight for women’s rights and equality.

FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organizations) are foreign groups that the Secretary of State designates “in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)” (“Chapter 6,” 2012). The designation of FTOs is crucial to fighting terrorism and helps to curtail support for terror activities. Accordingly, section 219 provides criteria for the legal designation of FTOs. First, an organization must be foreign-based in order to be labeled as an FTO. Secondly, the group must be involved in terrorist operations or maintain “the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism” (“Chapter 6,” 2012). Thirdly, the terror activity ...

Abstract

Terrorism has in fact resulted in the need for understanding the underlying conditions, motivations, and the behaviors that facilitate its development and growth. Growth can be attributed to multiple factors that can be either from internal or external perspectives. There seems to be some form of connection that exists between the popular attitudes and the extremism that is a common place, and is now viewed as being the informational battleground. The link between the public and support either proposing or opposing violent extremism remains to be fully understood. The story is similar for the Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslā ...

The general assembly of UN approved an arrangement for dividing Palestine in 1947, which offered a chance for the establishment of Jewish State, as well as Arab State and Jerusalem, left under worldwide status. The Jewish and the Arab States rejected such an arrangement. The United Kingdom dropped its mandate or control on Palestine, which led to the proclamation of Israel state. As a result, the Palestinians with the help of Arab States declared war on Israel (Koops et al., 2015). Israel also fought many wars with other states; however, this paper focuses on factors causing internal conflicts within ...

United States has for decades been deeply involved in the Middle East, and particularly in the ongoing conflict between Israel and its various neighbors. This is why there is been a good deal of speculation of late as to how US policy toward Israel during a future Hillary Clinton presidency might differ from (or be similar to) that of the current Obama administration. Since leaving the State Department, Clinton has provided some indication about what her policies would be in the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. Nevertheless, a certain degree of uncertainty still exists. While there ...

Introduction: Overview & Thesis

According to a PBS report in 2011, commenting on Middle East rooted terrorist group attacks, “While these extremely violent religious extremists represent a minority view, their threat is real” (Moore, “Evolution of Islamic Terrorism”). Today, of course, the most commonly popularized terrorist group gaining worldwide headlines in the news are the jihadists known as ISIS. Ever since ISIS has gained center stage internationally, there is hardly a human being who is not aware of the group’s presence on Earth. Currently it has been written that the contemporary world in the Middle East has been socio-politically changed, and the ...

Introduction

Contemporary academic analysis is concentrated on the issue of states’ emergence. The former is analyzed in different social, political, and economic contexts. Such state of affairs can be explained from the practical point of view, meaning nowadays there are many players at the international level which have recently appeared. However, in order to understand the nature of the aforementioned processes, the historical analysis is thought to be of great importance, since lots of contemporary phenomena took place in the previous centuries. Thus, in this paper, the correlation between the Sykes-Picot agreement, formation of the Palestinian identity, and creation of ...

One of the most elongated conflicts in the world has surely been related to the Jews and Arabs over the territory that defines the modern state of Israel. What many people fail to notice is the gravity of the conflict and how the conflict surely is not recent. What makes both the conflict and the peace process so complex between these two groups is that their cultures and religious beliefs date back thousands of years, (Jospe, R., 1995). To this end, they have many religious holy sites, for example, that are sacred to both faiths due to the territorial ...

This paper represents an examination of the events and history surrounding the issuance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917. The history revolves around the key relationship that was to develop between the Zionist movement, its representatives, and the British government during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Balfour Declaration was a document that served both British colonial diplomatic policy, and Zionist political and settlement goals. This declaration and its inclusion into the League of Nations Palestine Mandate of 1922 laid the groundwork for the emergence of the state of Israel in 1948.(The Balfour Declaration, coupled with years ...

Introduction

At the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict lies the disagreement on the land and boundary issues. The land dispute has defined and shaped the politics of the regions for ages. For many, individuals, the conflict is a century old problem; however, the course of the conflict runs way beyond the century. The onset of the conflict can be traced back to the 1250BC when the present Israel was conquered by the Israelites while it was called Canaan. From 961-922 BC the land remained under the leadership of King Solomon and the Jews before it spilt up into two kingdoms ( ...

Born in Chicago in 1978 to an Egyptian-Greek mother and a Palestinian father, Randa Jarrar grew up in different countries including Kuwait, Egypt, and back to America in New York. Her book A Map of Home is about a rebellious girl, Nidali, who is the daughter of a Palestinian father and a mother who has Egyptian and Greek ancestry. Born in the America, Nidali narrates about her upbringing in Kuwait, the teenage years she spends in Egypt after her family freed Kuwait in order to escape the war following the Iraqi invasion in 1990, as well as her family’ ...

Geopolitics is simply the study of geographical position in relation to politics both internally and internationally. Geopolitical threats are, therefore, factors that can hinder the cordial livelihood of communities in the same geographic area and with different political agendas. This paper will focus on the various levels of threats (tickers, slow tickers and talkers) in the nations selected for discussion. It will seek to justify their levels of threats according to their past and present political issues.

Tickers

The first ticker country to consider is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). From the very beginning, North Korea started ...

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Introduction The Israel-Palestinian conflict, as its name implies, is the ongoing struggle between the two nations of Israel and Palestine that began in the middle of the 20th century. This conflict is complex and involves many issues between the two nations such as recognition of each other as a separate state, matters of territories and boundaries, control of Jerusalem, water issues, Palestinian freedom and rights, among other things. Since there are many issues at hand, the conflict between the two countries is ongoing until now, with no chance of a solution or point of compromise in the near future. ...

Factors Promoting Middle East Conflict

The countries in the Middle East have never had peaceful coexistence for more than a century. There has been series of complicated blood-letting confrontations orchestrated by different factors among them the totalitarian nature of political leaderships, religious diversity and scramble for oil resources. Specific conflicts in the region might have been occasioned by one of these factors or a combination of all of them. This article explores how religious diversity, management of oil resources and totalitarian leadership have contributed to conflicts in the Middle East region. The Middle East is the territory that has the abundance of totalitarian countries, ...

The Lemon Tree Film Review

The film is about the story of Salma as she fights for her lemon grove after the Secret Service views it as a threat to the Israeli Defense Minister Israel Navon and his family when they move into a house located on the border between Israel and the West Bank. The security forces set up a guard post and barbed wire fence around the grove after which they obtained an order to uproot the lemon trees in the land. Salma is facing the challenge along as her children have moved to another country and some of them are also ...

Nationalism is a significant transitional power in the annals of history. Though the concept of loyalty is generally believed to be of a more contemporary vintage, theories as to the actual origins and the development of nationalism as a concept abound. Allegiance in the Arab world and the Palestinians in particular, have remained unexamined not due to lack of significance, but due to deliberate omission. Those who hold that nationalism comes about as a natural sociological process cannot sufficiently expound the segregation of the United States and Britain or the union of the English and French quarters ...

U.S. and the Middle-East Conflict Amid bouts of political and economic instabilities brought about by unending chaos and internal conflicts in the Middle-East particularly between Israel and Palestine, most political scientists argue that the US is largely to blame. For instance, according to Admin (6), the engagement or intervention of the US in the ongoing Israeli-Palestine war is viewed by many as being skewed towards Israel as a key American Ally since the end of the WWII. Moreover, the “Israel First” approach adopted by President George Bush helped to fuel the chaos due to what were seen by Arab ...

The world has witnessed many examples of discrimination, persecution, and genocide throughout history. These various practices have occurred due to differences in race, culture and religion. One way a society discriminates against a particular group of people is through laws. In ancient times, the Roman Empire used laws to discriminate against Christians, and since then, we have seen many other examples of a state using laws to negatively control a group of people. One current example of Israel and its laws that discriminate against the Palestinian people. This is a brief look at some of the ways the state ...

Framing consist of concepts and theoretical perspectives on how people perceive, organize and communicate about reality. It is a social construction of a social issue by social media, political leaders or social movements. It selectively influences people’s perceptions of meaning of words or phrases. Framing in communications can be seen to be positive or negative depending on the audience and the being information delivered. It provides a context for discussion or negotiation. Specific aspects of a given subject are selected and highlighted while others are excluded or reduced. Different parties believe and advocate different frames for the same ...

American presidents are limited to run for two terms in office. A large number of presidential candidates compete for nominations in republican and democratic nominations. The United States of America and five other nation agreed to an outline for Iranian nuclear deal in April 2015 where President Obama concentrated on convincing the Congress and the American citizens that this deal was to make the world especially America, and its allies a safer place. The nuclear deal was implemented in January 2016 after it was confirmed that Iran was in compliance with the provision of joint comprehensive plan action by ...

Causes and development of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

The conflict between Palestine and Israel has been proceeding for almost a century, and it remains unsolved up to this day. None of the parties wants to make the large-scale concessions, following the minor conditions of a shaky truce. The origin of the conflict can be seen even before the First World War. Precisely, the main causes of the conflict have the religious and racial nature based on the territorial issue. In addition, it is worth considering that the escalation of the conflict has been associated with the creation of the State of Israel, which was corroborated by the ...

In the Middle East lies a territory where two civilizations collide. Some refer to the region as Israel, while others call the same land Palestine. The two entities, one a declared nation, the other a territory seeking statehood, are separated by a giant wall in many areas, and, if you consider the settlements in the West Bank, a road in other areas. Politically, the two are miles apart. Most people might assume that they are culturally separated by vast distances also, but, is this actually the case. This paper compares and contrasts Israel and the Palestinian Territories based on ...

Laura Blumenfeld’s article, “The Apology: Letters from a Terrorist” is a detailed account of her interactions with the person who had shot at her father. Speaking to his family and writing to him she tries to understand the reasons for his action. The back and forth writing ends with Laura telling Omar and his family who she really is and omar writes her father a letter of apology. Laura’s article is not only a personal account but raises important questions over the issue of terrorism and how the notion of revenge plays into it. Terrorism is not ...

Nationalism is defined as the devotion that a particular person has towards his country. It is widely described as a sense of belonging that many people feel important. This sense of belonging allows the person to put primary interest to the nation. Many historians differentiate nationalism from patriotism by saying that nationalism is a state of belonging that people have over a country that is not yet free while patriotism is the love and loyalty for a country that is free. Arab nationalism is the state that arose among the Arab-speaking nations which felt the necessary urge to unite ...

Paradise now (suicide bomber drama).

I saw the movie on paradise now, the suicide bomber drama in March 2015 at a joint where I used to hang around with my college mates. We were randomly selecting movies to watch, and when we saw the title on the paradise now, we decided to pick it from the many so that we could look at the drama of the suicide bomber in the movie. The movie is a story of two Palestinian friends, Khaled Ali Suliman and said Kais Nashef, who were recruited by a terrorist group as suicide bombers in Tel Aviv. They armed themselves ...

For a six-day event to cause problems that last for decades is not a common occurrence. However, the six-Day War started by Israel on June 5 1967 against its neighboring Arab countries led to problems that have lasted for over forty years. Although the damage that the war had caused was not clear at the time, the outcome cast a shadow over the Middle East while also attracting the attention of other countries that had strategic interests in the region such as the United States. In the course of the war, the Israeli forces defeated Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian ...

In late 1987, the Palestinian community in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip started a mass civil disturbance designed to overthrow the “occupying” Israeli forces in their territories. The rebellion, or the Intifada, was not called for or mobilized by the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) from its Tunis base; rather, the uprising is a mobilization of the general public as well as the groups and entities that were developed during the occupation of Israel in the area. The movement engaged a large number of the population, with a good number of them without ...

How significant is the Palestinian refugee crisis in the search towards a working peaceful and lasting solution in the Middle East crisis? Is the solution political or religious? And what role does the international community play in the process of resolving the humanitarian crisis? This research proposal seeks to answer the above questions by exploring the historical trajectory of Palestinian refugees and how their movement has contributed to the worsening of the Israeli-Palestinian relations. The paper will rely on literature on Middle Eastern politics. This research is important because the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has raged on for half a century ...

(Institution Name) It is emphasized by the global peacekeeping organizations that countries resolve their conflicts through table talk and that they should refrain from carrying out full on offense against each other. The reason behind this is that when conflicts go violent and turn into wars, then they bring devastation to the public of the related states. No matter how weak or feeble one of the competitors seems, there is always potential for it to hurt the stronger opponent hard. The illiterate and weaponless militants of the most devastated and unstable region like Afghanistan were able to bring down, ...

There is no specific country today that can be called Palestine. Instead, the area known as Palestine consists of the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The name originates from the Roman province Palaestina. Others have called the region as the Land of Israel, and is the southern area of the regions also known as Syria, Canaan and the Levant. It is acknowledged as the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. The area has also had a long and colorful history, with a multitude of tribes and peoples populating the same area. Today the area is occupied ...

Terrorism is one of the variants of tactics of political struggle, associated with the use of ideologically motivated violence.

The essence of terrorism is violence with the intent to intimidate. The subject of terrorist violence – individuals or non-governmental organizations. The object of violence – the authorities in the face of the various civil servants or the society in the face of individual citizens (including foreigners or officials of other states). Also, private and public property, infrastructure and lifelines. The purpose of violence is to achieve desirable for terrorists, developments, revolutions, destabilization of society, war with a foreign country, independence of a particular territory, the fall of the prestige of power, political concessions from the authorities, etc. The definition of ...

The narrative of the book by Yoram Binur engages in the documentation of the transformation of the self and the perennial struggle in the face of an uncompromising societal milieu. If one opts to analyze the gradual transformation of the type of resistance being put up by people of the society over the span the narrative, one can very well understand how Binur faced the onus all alone. A close analysis of the narrative in context portrays the ways in which Binur faces the resistance from the society and himself puts up resistance to the society around in his ...

Introduction

The Middle East has experienced more conflicts compared to the other regions of the world. As a matter of fact, the partitioning of this region after the First World War facilitated an increase in instability as well as unrest. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a continuing conflict between the Palestinians and the state of Israel since 1948, the year when the latter gained independence. It is depressing to note that this conflict has remained one of the most problematic dilemmas facing the global community. In essence, no real success has been achieved in spite of several peace plans, which have ...

The risk of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was always high, because two very different cultures coexisted in the place that has a sacral meaning for both. So, taking into account the hatred that was present in all regions of the world before the World War II, the escalation of the conflict from both parties was inevitable. The official beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict cannot be precisely set and may be dated to the 1930s when the tensions between two nations started to have a violent nature that led to the independence of Israel in 1948. Culture includes some unique values ...

The current war on terror is characterized by the existence of many extremist organizations that are spreading their influence through a religious agenda. It can be said that terrorism and extremism are not just phenomena of the 21st century rather they are a continuation of the previous events and acts of terrorism. The war on terrorism has only been shaped through the use of modern warfare and varying strategies which have currently resulted in the global war on terror. Nevertheless, they are a repetition and amalgamation of an older theme. The Arab states have been in a chaotic situation ...

Hardly is it possible to find a region in the world that would have such complicated history as the Middle East has. Due to a broad array of reasons that include sectarian nature of conflicts, religion in general, beneficial geopolitical position as well as protracted subjection to great world powers are just a few of them. Moreover, even now, when the region is fully independent and coherent it still remains one of the most turbulent places in the world in which literally every state is engulfed in a conflict, religious war or territorial dispute. In this paper I am ...

[Enter Student Name] [Enter University Name] When considering terrorism and homeland security on a global scale, it is difficult to have a discussion about specific terrorist groups threatening homeland security without mentioning the radical Islamic group Hamas. Hamas is easily one of the more well-known organizations in the world and are an incredible threat to homeland security. Hamas was formed in 1987 and has been considered a terrorist organization by the United States for almost its entire existence. Hamas was formed as a direct result of the first Palestinian uprising, known as an “intifada” in Arabic (“Terrorist Groups: Hamas,” ...

Introduction

Jericho is a city in Israel and apparently adds up as one of the oldest and ancient cities in the history of the world. It is located near River Jordan. The city also doubles as a major archeological site in the world given its relationship with a number of biblical stories as recorded in the books of Joshua and Judges. Jericho was initially occupied by Jordan which then relinquished ownership and authority to Israel. Currently, the city is under Palestinian authority. In the history of archeology, Jordan is remembered as the archeological site for the oldest stone tower in ...

Since September 11, there has been a proliferation of programs to fight terrorism, accompanied by a tremendous increase in the resources allocated for the same purpose. However, not much effort has been directed towards determining the effectiveness of the programs. The question of effectiveness must be raised because if the programs are ineffective, the massive resources that have been allocated have been going down the drain. It is only recently that serious attention has been paid to this question (Lum, Kennedy, & Sherley, 2009). The paucity of research in the area is testament to this. Measuring effectiveness of terrorism strategies ...

Book Review; A World of Trouble by Patrick Tyler

[DEPARTMENT’S NAME] [UNIVERSITY’S NAME]

Authoring books on international foreign affairs is a challenge to many authors. Above every other thing in regard, researching and analyzing in an unbiased and realistic manner is quintessential to great books. The United States plays central role in shaping the world affairs but very few authors have dared to go beyond the conventional view of the U.S in world affairs to explain their view point on international affairs. Viewing the world foreign affairs through an unbiased frame, the focal spot that the security of Israeli hobbies possesses in American foreign approach appears ...

Introduction:

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a complex subject of significant research over decades among the historians, political scientists, economists, humanitarian groups, non-governmental organizations, as well as other interested individuals and societal groups in the modern times. All these parties seek to establish an in-depth scope on the conflict’s history and the subsequent trajectory (Bickerton, 2012). Understanding the causal factors that triggered the conflict, the implications, and the dynamics of the conflict will foster a deeper analysis of the interplay between historical events, prevailing political perspective theories, and prospective arbitration procedures. These objectives therefore define the fundamental motivation to ...

A half century ago, the terrorism and extremist forms of thought were not prevalent in certain sectors of Middle Eastern society as they are today. Up to the years between 1968 through 1979, Middle Eastern countries remained relatively benign with no outstanding threats of violent political Islam (Bar 127). The rise of international Islamic terrorism was born in the fragmentation of society brought on by the departure of colonialism. Economies had by this time been fundamentally disrupted. In major urban centers, oil contracts (particularly in the GCC) gave rise to rapid scales of development. Government systems were restructured. The ...

Firearms policies of the United Kingdom are one of the strictest in the world. As a result, the rates of homicides and other violent crime are reported to be the lowest (Uttley 2006; Squires, 2014)). Today’s research shows that only 0,05 intentional murders involving the use of civilian firearms have been recorded per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013 (Van Kesteren, 2013). Moreover, only 2.3% of all homicides perpetrated in the country involved the use of guns (Office for National Statistics 2015). The only one killing spree to have ever happened in the United Kingdom was the notorious ...

The documentary called “Promise” is about the lives of seven children. Some of them are Palestinian and the others are Israelis. They live in a small territory but they are torn by politically induced hatred. B.Z., the director of the film talked to all of them to hear their points of view. It was interesting to see the perspective of children on politics and religion. All of the children talk about issues that are inappropriate for their age. It is the result of having been born and raised in a war inflicted country. The country was divided between the Palestinians ...

Terrorism denotes the deeds of violence that are intended to create fear and anxiety among a populace of a specific locality. Terrorism activities are politically or religiously instigated, and without a doubt, they have turned out to be a major concern globally in the recent times. It has affected the largely the way the world is today because, every government is cognizant of the fact that if a country is not safe both internally and externally, no meaningful progress can be made. Terrorism affects how governments conduct their functions and the policies that a particular government puts in place (Yousef, Mosab, and Ron 129-134). In ...

The Iron Wall

The film exposes the colonization attempts of Israel towards the Palestinian people. “The Iron Wall” is an official and unspoken name of policy adopted by the Israeli government in order to deepen its influence on the Palestinian territory. It includes a few steps: making settlements to ensure Israeli foothold on the Palestinian ground and building a barrier wall to separate people who define themselves as one nation. Settlements are the latest project that is implemented to weaken Palestine from inside. The purpose was clear: after the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, Israel needs facts o the ground to ...
