Abstract
This paper examines the book, "Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1999?, by noted historian Benny Morris, a comprehensive, well-composed and precise history of the conflict, from Zionism's birth in the wake of the Russian pogroms to the vague scenario for 1999 peace. It looks at how the book is a complete and objective history of the extensive dispute between Arabs and Jews for ownership of a land called home by both.
From the Paper
"Benny Morris has also given sketch portraits and enlightening story about the compelling leaders who have been the leading role of this controversial history, which also comprises of Anwar Sadat, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, Theodor Herzl, David Ben-Gurion, and Menachem Begin (PolitInfo). Furthermore, as Benny Morris has discussed few elements of the Palestinian anguish like for instance mass uprooting and banishment of the Palestinian people as well as to limited extent other types of collective punishments. He has portrayed the Palestinians as rigid, prone to brutality, insensitive for the Jewish pain and misery & human agony while on the other hand the Israelis had been portrayed as cultured, cooperative, concerned and understanding to the Palestinian reasons (PolitInfo)."

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."

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 ..."

Former Russian Union Immigrant Pupils in Israeli Schools, 2001.
This paper is a complete research study focusing on the absorption of immigrant pupils from the former Russian Union into Israeli schools. Extensive literature review included.

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."

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
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 paper argues that the present manifestation of the Arab-Israeli conflict is basically a conflict over land. The paper claims that this conflict is rooted in the strong and ancient claims of two peoples--Jews and Palestinians--to the same small piece of land in the Middle East. A history of the State of Israel is presented, including a synopsis of the wars fought. The different Israeli prime ministers and governments are discussed.
From the Paper
"Ben-Gurion stepped down as prime minister in June 1963. His efforts at building the Israeli state had brought him into conflict with his own party's ideology, and the international Zionist movement. Gathering about him a group of younger leaders in 1965, notably Shimon Peres and Moshe Dayan, Ben-Gurion organized a new political party, Rafi, though he eventually retired from politics permanently in 1970 when that party failed to generate support. Ben-Gurion's successor, Levi Eshkol , had much less experience in defense issues and relied heavily on Rabin. Neither the Jordanian nor the Syrian borders were quiet during the years leading up to the Six-Day War, but all Israelis were taken by surprise when in May 1967 increasingly violent clashes with Palestinian guerrillas and Syrian army forces along Lake Tiberias led to a general crisis."

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.

Abstract
This paper looks at how the recent history of the Middle East has been dominated by the long-standing Arab-Israeli conflict or more specifically the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It evaluates the strategic importance of the area because of its vast oil reserves makes the continuing volatility in the area doubly important. It explores the history of the problem, identifies some key areas of controversy and looks at the differing perspectives of the people belonging to the left, the neoconservatives and the far right in the U.S.. It also examines which branches of the U.S. government have been involved with the issue and analyzes whether the government?s response has been effective and according to the people?s wishes.
From the Paper
"Following a UN Resolution calling for a partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, Israel declared its independence On May 14, 1948. Several wars have been fought between the Arabs and Israelis since then. The first was fought immediately after the formation of Israel which the Jewish state surprisingly won. The war also resulted in the displacement of a large number of Palestinian refugees who settled mostly in refugee camps in the neighboring Arab countries. Most Palestinians still live in those camps. The second Arab- Israeli war followed the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt in June 1956, and the third was the pre-emptive strike in 1967 by Israel on Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In all of these wars, the Arabs were thoroughly humiliated. The six-day 1967 war resulted in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and all of Jerusalem. It also resulted in a second wave of Palestinian refugees."

From the Paper
"The UN General Assembly agreed to a plan November 29, 1947 for the division of Arab lands into the three parts of Israel Palestine and an internationally-administered zone that centered round Jerusalem. "This plan formed the basis for the declaration of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948". (The History of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict) Angered over the loss of Arab lands in the formation of the Israeli state, a combined force of Arab states invaded Israel leading to a war. The consequences of the war were disastrous for the Arabs. Israel annexed more land than was provided to them by the United Nations and many of the Palestinian Arabs were displaced rendering them homeless. This war officially ended in January 1949, but the peace was short lived due to the mutual suspicions and sense of betrayal by the Arabs."

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."
