Abstract
This paper discusses how, after 40 years of an almost constant degradation in its diplomatic relations, the European Union and the state of Israel have realized that a strained association could potentially do much damage and that a closer cooperation is necessary. The paper looks at how Israel and the E.U. are putting their distrust in one another to the side and are finally agreeing on joint projects, which range from economic trade to a collaboration for the fight against terrorism to the Middle East Peace Process. The paper also examines the history of European-Israel relations and discusses whether Europe and Israel can ever have a stable relationship even with their baggage-laden history weighing them down.
Outline:
Birth of a Nation: A Brief History of EU-Israeli Relations
Cooperation and Discrepancy
From the Paper
"The creation of the state of Israel on May 15th, 1948 was the pinnacle of Zionist policies, and the beginning of constant clashes with the nation's Arab neighbors. Europe's backing of Israel at the time (by Europe is primarily meant France, Germany and Britain) was due to several important factors. "Europe feels a historical responsibility towards the Jewish state and is attached to Israel as a consequence." The deaths of 6 million Jews as a direct result of World War II weighed heavily on European minds, and no one would have dared criticize then the right of Israel to exist. Now that the world was well aware of the atrocities committed in concentration camps, and just a year after the Nuremberg trials, the newly created state was riding high on a wave of sympathy from around the world, and relied deeply on Europe for help.

Integration in Europe
Within the context of international regional integration, there are five levels--(a) free-trade area, (b) customs union, (c) common market, (d) economic union, and (e) political union (Grosse & Kujawa, 1988). Each successive level involves a greater degree of integration. At the lowest level of integration, the free-trade area, tariffs are eliminated on the ... "

Abstract
Arab-Israeli relations are influenced by problems between the two groups extending back centuries, and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 today remains a sore point in the Arab world. In the Middle East, the Israelis are the minority population and are surrounded by Arab nations
From the Paper
"Arab-Israeli relations are influenced by problems between the two groups extending back centuries, and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 today remains a sore point in the Arab world. In the Middle East, the Israelis are the minority population and are surrounded by Arab nations. Among the points of contention between Arabs and Israelis are Israeli actions with regard to the Palestinians, the discovery and development of oil in the Arab countries, and shifts in the world geo-political situation. The Middle East holds a place of particular strategic importance, and the tensions existing there impinge on relations between nations outside the region.
Friedman provides a sketch of the history of tensions in the Middle East and refers back to their roots in the Middle Ages and to the various authoritarian dynasties that have maintained these ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the research is designed to examine if Israeli pupils and immigrant pupils perceive the school atmosphere and immigrant integration differently, and if immigrant and Israeli pupils differ in the intensity of their relationship in their grasp of school atmosphere and integration. The research involved 303 junior high school pupils, aged 12-15, in two schools; one school had a majority immigrant pupil population, whereas the other had relatively few immigrants. The author reports that pupils evaluated themselves in terms of their adjustment to school, their attitudes towards immigration, and the degree to which they identify with the State of Israel. The paper reports that the greater the number of immigrants in a school, the greater their sense of power, to the point where they are unwilling to pay the price for friendship with Israelis.

From the Paper
"The education system and schools were chosen to bear the brunt of this task of merging the communities because pupils spent so much time there and because of the school?s influence in teaching language, the curriculum and teacher activities as well as peer pressure. The merger was formulated and implemented in the education system via the curriculum and teachers via full assimilation, discipline, adoption of the norms, rules of behavior and values held by the majority by the minority in order for the latter to resemble the former."

From the Paper
"Arab-Israeli relations are influenced by problems between the two groups extending back centuries, and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 today remains a sore point in the Arab world. Arab-Israeli relations can be seen as a majority/minority relationship, but interestingly, this relationship offers one configuration in the Middle East and another in the United States. In the Middle East, the Israelis are the minority population and are surrounded by Arab nations. In the United States, the Jewish population is much larger than the Arab population and more visible as well. Tensions in the Middle East are great, while in the United States those tensions are much less given the American position of tolerance of differing opinions and intolerance of violence.
The international political economy of the Middle East is ..."

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 presents an interesting look into the Arab-Israeli conflict. It covers the conflict from the early 1900s, up to and including the current Intifada that began in 2000. It also discusses such subjects as the historical background of European Zionism, the emergence of Zionist terrorism during the ill-fated British Mandate and the birth of Israel as the result of a UN vote. According to this author, it is the continued Israeli occupation and not, the refusal of many Arab countries, or of the Palestinians, to recognize the right of Israel to exist, that is at the root of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
From the Paper
"Since 1967, the Palestinians have become bitterly reconciled to the existence of the state of Israel. They have no choice but to do so: Israel is the only power in the region with nuclear weapons. It also has the US for its major backer. (Each year Israel receives between $4 billion and $5 billion a year, mostly in military aid, from American taxpayers.) What Palestinians have demanded since 1967, and are still demanding, is that
Israel withdraws from the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, so that the Palestinian state envisaged in the UN resolution of 1947 can be created. In the meantime, they live in a ?protracted state of political subjugation and economic dependence? (Morris 568).
The most critical development in recent years is the Israeli policy of settling the occupied territories with Jewish families. Settlement expansion into the occupied territories was first advocated by the Movement for the Whole Land of Israel and has been official policy in Israel since the rise of the Menachem Begin?s Likud (Revisionist Zionist) party to power in May 1977. Between 1977 and 1984, one hundred new settlements were built on occupied land (Morris 567). By 2001, as many as 400,000 Israelis had been settled in areas of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem and its environs. As a result of the illegal settlements, public opinion in many countries has grown much more sensitive to the Palestinians? plight. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the Palestinian cause was not always highly regarded outside the Muslim world on account of its resort to sensational acts of terrorism. However, by the mid-1980s, the PLO was viewed increasingly as representing the victims of the conflict. Many informed people have since come to the conclusion that the well-armed and financed Israelis are no longer simply defending the right of their tiny little state to exist, but are actively using their powers to oppress the Palestinians and prevent them from founding the state to which they are entitled."

Abstract
Since the recognition of Israeli as an independent state in 1948 by the United Nations, the country has endured conflicts with its Arab neighbours who refuse to accept its legitimacy as a state. This paper traces the Arab-Israeli conflict, from 1948 through the Six-Day War and the 1973. The paper focuses on the 1977 Camp David agreement between Israel and Egypt, where, for the first time, an Arab state formally accepted Israeli's statehood and laid the foundations for negotiations to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict which continues to the present day.
From the Paper
"During September 1977, Israeli foreign minister Moshe Dyan and Egyptian deputy prime minister Hassan Tuhami met in Morocco. Tuhami said that Sadat was serious about peace and believed it was only possible if Israel withdrew from all the occupied lands, including East Jerusalem. Dyan believed that Begin and Sadat needed to meet to discuss the issues and sort out their differences.
Sadat was serious about peace. Decades of war had left his country devastatingly poor, and Israel could not be beat through military means without raining down destruction on the Arab world. He felt that if peace could not be reached soon, a new war would start. He also might have had the feeling that time was not on his side. He had had several heart attacks and was getting older."

Abstract
In this article, the writer assesses the role global public opinion had on the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. Specifically, the writer discusses whether Israel's victory against the seemingly insurmountable odds of its adversaries can in some way be explained by examining the impact global public opinion had on the conflict. The writer notes that global public opinion toward the Israeli-Arab situation was then, as now, often rooted in deeply held sentiment of the conflicting nature of the relationship between Israel and her neighbours. Furthermore, as is often the case today, issues of global political concern and the power relationships between leading nations had a direct impact on the public perception of the war around the world. Nonetheless, the writer shows that public opinion was only a one factor in the Israeli success and the primacy of actual military events always ranks as the most relevant force in war. The writer assesses the reasons and factors that account for Israel overcoming their numerically superior foes.
Outline:
What effects did global public opinion have on the six day war in 1967? Does this help explain the Israeli victory of the conflict?
Israel faced a numerically superior force comprising of multiple nations. How was Israel able to overcome this?
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the issue of involvement and support for Israel on the part of the west is discussed in what follows below. Indeed, such discussion is vital to the question at hand because it has often been felt, particularly on the Arab side that western assistance to Israel was such that it was capable of making the difference. Obviously, the Israeli military was sourced by the west in the same manner the Soviet Union did with the Arabs. However, some have suggested that western support for Israel during the six days of fighting actually translated into western military forces engaging in combat against the forces of the Arab alliance. It is the writer's conviction that such claims are largely unfounded and represent a post 1967 wish on the part of Arab leaders and writers to explain away their disastrous attempts at destroying Israel by passing the blame onto the major western nations. Above all, it was the military decision making and proactive approach undertaken by Israeli leaders that account for their overwhelming success.
"Nonetheless, how was it that Israel was capable of not only sustaining its position, but enhancing it with a stunning victory? Much of the answer to this question lies in the fact that the Arab coalition seriously underestimated both Israeli military and political resolve."

Abstract
The paper explains that the current Israeli government's position regarding Israeli/Palestinian violence violence over the past few months continues to be based upon Israel's determination to punish Hamas terrorists who carry out attacks on Israel and to target for assassination Hamas leaders who advocate and support such attacks. The paper discusses how this policy has been controversial, has been condemned as state-sponsored terrorism by many Palestinians and presents even more dilemmas for the new Israeli government now that Hamas has won the recent elections and controls the Palestinian government.

Abstract
This book covers the reasons for the Arab-Israeli Conflict and its escalation. The paper describes how the book presents an historical overview of events that all combined to lead up to the conflict. The paper quotes the authors who maintain that European intervention provoked the Muslim world in the late 1700s causing the Muslims to established a long-standing tradition of fighting to hold on to their land and their way of life. The paper notes the professionalism and techniques employed throughout this book. The paper concludes that Israel and the Arab world need to work together for peace, but this book suggests that there may simply be too many barriers in the way of that ever actually occurring.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the two groups fighting seem to be fighting a no-win war. The text calls this the "zero-sum" approach and notes, "[O]bservers argue that Arabs will never really accept Israel's legitimacy and its permanent presence in the region and that Israelis will never accept the right of the Palestinians to national self-determination and statehood. This view holds that the conflict is zero-sum" (Lesch, and Tschirgi 4). However, others do not hold to this approach and believe that somehow peace can ultimately be achieved in the Middle East. Some cite the American and European involvement in current affairs as adding fuel to the conflict, and others cite how the two nationalist movements are so dissimilar, accord will be extremely difficult to reach and maintain."

Abstract
This paper discusses the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israeli government in the light of Gene Sharp's power theory, which if utilized to its full extent, could lead to peace in the region. The Palestinians attack Israel to get back their lost and conquered homeland. The powerful Israeli government defends itself but kills a lot of Palestinians in the process. No one uses non-violence to cease conflict.

Abstract
The following paper examines several issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as the Suez Canal crises, the Balfour Declaration, the Yom Kippur War and the Six Day War. The writer discusses the events that lead to the major unresolved issues that remain today in Israel, namely the status of Jerusalem; the future of Israeli settlements; and the rights of Palestine refugees. This paper is written by a pro-Palestinian supporter.
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."
