Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the war between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The author of this paper takes us on a tour of the issues as well as the history of the war and its participants. We get a peek at how it affects each nation on a sociological scale.

Abstract
This paper argues that the rights of the Palestinians as a people have been grossly violated with the establishment and subsequent expansion of the state of Israel. It argues that the establishment of a separate, independent Palestinian state is the only solution that might implement permanent peace in this long standing conflict.

"The religious claims of the Jews can be considered to be void if we look at the fact that Jerusalem is also a sacred place for the Muslims. In Six hundred AD, Muslim armies moved in from Arabia and conquered Palestine. Muslim influence and power has remained in the area for a long time and they have allowed the Jews and the Christians to exist peacefully in the country. The Muslims also came to regard Jerusalem as their holy city because Prophet Mohammed was believed to have ascended to heaven from this very place. The sacred mosque of al-Aqsa was built on the place, which is regarded as the site of the Jewish temples. The area later came under the Ottoman Empire and subsequent reorganization after the war with Napoleon saw the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. [Isseroff, 2002]. Hence the religious importance of the place stands on a neutral footing."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and the idea that Israel took the Palestinians land and made them into second class citizens.

From the Paper
"The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is decades old. It can be traced to two wars that were fought in 1948 and 1967. According to Harald Frederiksen, At the end of the 1948-49 war, 750,000 Arabs were driven from the urban areas and the lands within Israel that they owned, a majority of the land comprising Israel (Frederiksen 73). This meant that many Arabs that had been living in the area now known as Israel were forcibly driven out of their cities. In the 1967 war the Israelis made the situation worse by taking over resources."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Palestinian people have met with many instances of discrimination in Israel, leading to their entrapment as a dominated people. It looks at how steps are being taken by the international community and organizations to provide both a state for the Palestinian people, as well as greater rights and power within the current Jewish state.

From the Paper
"The economic disparities between the Palestinian Arabs and the Jews evidence a clear discrimination taking place against the Palestinians. Without economic capital, there is little hope for change for the Arabs in Israel especially since their economic disadvantage is cemented in by a lack of representation within the Israeli government. However, over the past several years many Arab nations have been pouring funds into Palestine in support of an independent Palestinian state. Unfortunately, much of this money has gone to the purchase of weapons, the funding of terrorist organizations, and into the pockets of the Palestinian leaders."

Abstract
The significance of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the importance of applying conflict management in order to resolve the issues generating violence between Israelis and Palestinians are self-evident, for the civil unrest and recurring violence are undermining chances for peace in the entire region. Tens of millions of Muslims throughout the Middle East believe that that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian crisis should be the highest priority of regional and Western governments alike, and consider the Israeli government responsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people.

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."

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 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
This paper presents a history of the Arab-Israeli conflict from the time of the creation of Israel and discusses issues of Zionism versus Pan-Arabism. It describes the establishment of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and outlines the background of the "Right of Return" in practice and law. The United Nations resolutions regarding the Palestinian "Right of Return" are examined. The paper also covers the individual "Right of Return" for Palestinians in international law and the right of self-determination of Palestinians in international law.

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."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book "Growing Up Palestinian" by French journalist and academic Laetitia Bucaille. The paper highlights Bucaille's descriptions of the impact of the Israeli Occupation, the two Intifadas, and the emerging Palestinian governance structures in the 1990s upon a generation of young Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Additionally, the paper states that this text cannot truly be considered a general analysis of Palestinian society as a whole and points out the gaps in the text.

"In her book 'Growing Up Palestinian', French journalist and academic Laetitia Bucaille describes the impact of the Israeli Occupation, the two Intifadas, and the emerging Palestinian governance structures in the 1990s upon a generation of young Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Given the nature of her subject, this text cannot truly be considered a general analysis of Palestinian society as a whole. For example, one significant gap in her text is its lack of direct treatment of young Islamists and..."
