Abstract
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the most divisive contests in the history of the Middle East. Unfortunately, Israel has been a hub of violence since its inception in 1948. This paper examines the history of the conflict and debates how best to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Outline
Israel Should Withdraw from Palestinian Territories
Israel Must Reoccupy Palestinian Territories
Creating a Palestinian State Could Resolve the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
Creating a Palestinian State Would Not Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Palestinians Must Fight for Equal Rights
Palestinians Must Reject Terrorism as a Weapon of War
Economic Development Can Facilitate Peace Between Israelis and Palestinians
From the Paper
"President George W. Bush has referred to the "legitimate aspirations" of the Palestinian people for an independent state. But people who embrace suicide bombings and choose career killers as their leaders--as the Palestinians have done--have no legitimate political aspirations. Writer William F. Buckley, for all of his many faults, is credited with a turn of phrase that eloquently captures this fact. Speaking about an African country's desire for independence, he quipped, "They'll be ready for democracy when they stop eating each other." Although he was referring to the practice of literal cannibalism, the same thing applies metaphorically to the Palestinians. They can be trusted with a representative government only when they stop worshipping murderers."

Abstract
This paper examines how the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians has been the topic of debate for many years. It attempts to relate the war in the Biblical books of "Joshua" and "Judges" to the present day Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In addition, the discussion also reviews what the Bible and the Koran say about who should have the land. It also discusses opinions from both sides and includes the views from other cultures.
From the Paper
"There are a myriad of opinions concerning the conflict that exists between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Most of the world seems to have sided with the Palestinians. The Arab world certainly believes that the conflict has been created by the Jews. They feel that the Palestinians have been wronged and forced from their land with no recourse. In addition, the creation of the wall has further complicated the plight of Palestinians living in the region by denying them access to work, schooling and shops. (Shahin) In many cases the animosity that exists has resulted in violence."

Reexamining the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, 2006.
A paper examining the approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by expert, Gershon Shafir.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores Gershon Shafir's unconventional argument that economic forces were at the forefront of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from its beginning rather than religious differences. The paper also attempts to demonstrate the validity of this new way of thinking about the State of Israel.
From the Paper
"Shafir's argument may sound bold to some, however for the most part, he draws from the same primary sources used by other scholars. His sources are reliable from an academic perspective and are considered standard for scholars of Middle Eastern politics. Though he uses standard primary sources, his interpretation of these sources is what differentiates him from other historiographers. A majority of scholarly works on the subject concentrate on the religious aspects of the conflict., Shafir demonstrated that these issues are not the only issues in this area. He examined the sources for evidence of economic and non-religious reasons for the conflict. Shafir does not ignore the religious issues entirely, but places less emphasis on these issues than on the economic and practical reasons for the conflict. This approach has earned him a number of critics that wish to stick to the old dogmas surrounding the history of this era."

Abstract
The paper describes the Palestinian women's plight for better living conditions since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. It discusses that women are generally heads of households in Palestine. It briefly examines the Israeli female point of view and the de facto national house arrest as a result of terrorism. The paper also describes feminist demonstrations against the conditions.
From the Paper
"In many ways, women have stood at the periphery, at least in the world?s eyes, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To some ironic and terrible extent, this changed when female Palestinian suicide bombers began blowing themselves up earlier this year. The world appeared shocked and dismayed that women and children would join in the violence and bloodshed, begun and perpetrated by men, that has dominated the West Bank and the Israeli-occupied territories for so many years.

Further, the creation of the State of Israel in an Arab state evoked anger in the populations of all of the Arab states which threatened the political leaders in those states. The United Nations Partition Plan ... "

Abstract
The paper introduces the 3 major religions - Judaism, Islam and Christianity. It shows their historical ties to the Holy Land and the significance of these religions to Palestine and Israel. The paper then gives an overview of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and surmises that the conflict is not a religious one, rather it is a struggle over land.
From the Paper
"Moreover, to date, these conditions have further deteriorated in that area. The 11 September attacks were carried out by Arabs lead by Osama Bin Laden based in Afghanistan who expressed solidarity with the Palestinian cause for the first time. This also brought into world focus the South Asian region, US attacks in Afghanistan have further highlighted the second most dangerous flashpoint in the world that is between India and Pakistan.
The Palestinian/Israeli conflict and the south Asian situation can further get out of hand if both sides do not act rationally. Evicting one from the area will not solve the problem instead; it will further worsen the situation. Bilateral talks keeping in mind the proposals of both the sides. US can act as the mediator as it is world?s only super power and in spite of all the failures of the recent past can broker a deal between all the concerned parties."

From the Paper
"In 1994, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip and Jericho, ending 27 years of occupation. A Palestinian police force replaced them. In 1995, then a Jewish extremist assassinated Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who had been involved in the latest peace processes.
In April 1996, Israeli forces bombed Lebanon for 17 days, with Hezbollah retaliating by firing upon populated areas of Northern Israel. Israel also bombed a UN shelter, killing about 100 out of 800 civilians sheltering there. The UN claimed it was intentional. In 1998, the Wye River Memorandum planned Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank but Israel suspended it in 1999 due to internal disagreements on its implementation."

Abstract
This paper attempts to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of cultural similarities and differences between the two peoples. The author begins by providing a definition of culture, and then offers a thorough analysis of the various cultural attributes of both groups -- from religion to power to territorialism. The paper concludes with a section entitled "Is Peace Possible?", which looks at this perennial question from the unusual perspective of the cultural impediments to peace, rather than the political ones.
Introduction: What is Culture?
Why Israel and Palestine are Like Each Other and Dislike Each Other
Territorialism
Religious Differences
Influence of United States and Europe
Dissimilar Values
Money
Power
Different Governments - Different People
Is Peace Possible?
From the Paper
"Traditionally the word culture is used to define people who share a certain set of values. These values may include similar national character, a particular geo-political heritage, or a state sanctioned religion. The article, "The Man in the Baghdad Cafe" goes on to say that in many cases people define themselves by a very small number of shared values rather than the cultural larger set that are said to be shared by Europeans or Asians or residents of the Middle East. In Europe, more people identify with their geographical territory such as Germany or France or England than they do either with national character or religion (Protestant work ethic)."

Abstract
In some ways, one could trace the development of the Israeli Palestinian conflict back to Biblical times, when the wandering Hebrew tribes fought their way into a place in what was then called Canaan. It was at that point that those tribes chose to make a covenant with their new God who was different from the Canaanite God, El.

"Social Stratification and the Israeli Palestinian Conflict
Introduction
In some ways, one could trace the development of the Israeli Palestinian conflict back to Biblical times, when the wandering Hebrew tribes fought their way into a place in what was then called Canaan. It was at that point that those tribes chose to make a covenant with their new God who was different from the Canaanite God, El. Not only were they of a different ethnicity than the original settlers of that valley, they chose to separate themselves from the religion and traditional practices of that people (Armstrong, 1993). Since that point, there has been increasing distinction between the two Semitic peoples who are now called Arabs and Jews, represented by the two distinct ..."

From the Paper
"The history that fuels this conflict is vast but it is vitally important that the history of the region is understood before we can understand what is happening in the region currently. The conflict between the two groups began at the turn of the century when Zionists immigrants began to enter Jerusalem in an attempt to establish a homeland. Zionists believe that God made promises to Abraham that the Jews, who are Abraham's descendants through Isaac, were to have Canaan (The land now known as Israel). Arabs, who are Abraham?s descendants through his other son, Ishmael, were not to inherent the land.1 Palestinians were already living in the land when European Jews arrived after they arrived Palestinians and non-Jews comprised 90% of the population."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION:
The majority of Americans have only become aware of the current state of affairs in the Middle East as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that happened September 11, 2001. And to a great extent, many of them see Israel as an ally of the United States in the war against terrorism, as the Israelis fight the Palestinians. Many believe the Israeli actions are merely a response to "acts of terrorism" by Palestinian suicide bombers.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. The Middle East is still torn by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as it has been since the Balfour Declaration of 1917, and the seven wars that have been fought since 1948. In the aftermath of the Coalition victory against Iraq in 1991, American prestige and influence was ..."

From the Paper
"The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a festering annoyance to forty-five years of Israeli statehood. It is the insipid struggle of two peoples searching for stability in the form of homeland and international recognition as a state, and it happens to involve the same piece of real estate. Both groups have been victims of a "diaspora"--the dispersion of a singular nation into the midst of many others. Israel's was centuries old prior to the partitioning of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states by the United Nations in May 1948. That of the Palestinians effectively began at the same time Israel's was seemingly coming to an end.
Almost as suddenly as Israel declared its independence and statehood n 1948 did five Arab states surrounding it attack with the intent to wipe out Israel once and for all eternity. Egypt..."

Abstract
This paper attempts to find a solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It covers these areas:
The Issue

Justification for Continued Israeli Occupation
Past US Role in the Israeli Palestine Conflict
Possible Reasons for the American Administration's Current Inaction
Saudi Peace Plan
Recent UN Resolution
A Proposal to Resolve the Problem
From the Paper
"As violence escalates in Palestine, the intractable problem becomes even more intractable. Intense fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the most intense inside the borders of the former Palestine since Israel?s creation in 1948, are claiming a daily toll in double digits. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon?s increasingly tough tactics are exacerbating the conflict. A war of attrition is going on that has the potential to escalate into an all out regional war."

Abstract
This paper examines Israel and its making by taking a close look at the historical events leading up to the nation's independence and then examines those same historical events thereby explaining the reasons Palestinians were "left behind".
From the Paper
"In its most immediate manifestation, there may be a great deal of support for the idea that the Jewish state of Israel, established in 1948, was sparked by a newfound international sympathy for the Jewish situation. The Holocaust, that resulted in the slaughter of some six million Jews, and the torture and degradation of countless others, appeared to be the culmination to millennia of Semitic discrimination, deportation and murder. And as concentration camp liberation throughout Eastern Europe exposed the abhorrent realities executed upon the Jews to the rest of the world, President Truman and imperially inclined British authorities alike were corralled into a position of necessary empathy. But it was certainly not by way of global ingratiation alone that the Jews were able to gain a foothold on their fate as a proposed nation. The seeds for 1948's declaration of Israeli independence were planted and fertilized many years prior and, likewise, a tendency toward Palestinian disenfranchisement finds it roots in an approach adopted in the early part of the twentieth century."
