From the Paper
"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.

Conclusion
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."

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."

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."

"Growing Up Palestinian", 2008.
This paper critically reviews Laetitia Bucaille's book "Growing Up Palestinian", which focuses on the complexity of social change among the Palestinian population.

Abstract
The paper critically analyzes Bucaille's text "Growing Up Palestinian", which explores the social fault lines within Palestinian society. Using Bucaille's book as a basis, the paper argues that these fault lines have not only been exacerbated but, to a great extent, created by the instrumentality of the Israeli occupation; a process that has been reinforced by the inadequacies of the emerging Palestinian governance since the 1990s. The paper shows how these fault lines have not only fragmented Palestinian society, but critically weakened it in the face of a range of challenges over the past decade.
From the Paper
"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 members of Hamas; an increasingly influential portion of the Palestinian population. This being said, even with the text's focus upon more secular young Palestinians we can understand the complexity of social change among the Palestinian population over the past two decades."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates the culpability of Palestinian educators in creating a climate that is intolerant, contemptuous of civil debate and which openly seeks the destruction of the Jewish state. The paper discusses what can be done to change the course of Palestinian education. The paper concludes that if Palestine can be prevailed upon to produce textbooks emphasizing basic numeracy and literacy instead of revenge, there is hope that the future of the Middle East can be less bloody than its past.
From the Paper
"To begin with, it is worth noting that Palestinians have been using Jordanian and Egyptian curricula and textbooks since the early 1950s. In light of the fact that Egypt has been a pretty virulent enemy of Israel for decades, it may be said that someone else's hatred not only found its way into Palestinian textbooks but actually complemented and amplified the antipathy Palestinians already felt towards Israel. In any case, Dr. Sami Adwan of Bethlehem University also writes that the aforementioned textbooks were subject to "complete censorship" by the Israeli military governor in the years between 1967 and 1993. Even when this state of affairs was modified in the 1990s, Adwan - who is Palestinian - writes that the Israelis continue to restrict the freedom of Palestinian students and teachers to move where they wish - and that the production of a new wave of Palestinian textbooks since the dawn of this decade has been done against a backdrop of violence and hopelessness."

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 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 an unbiased history of the disputed region of Israel, beginning with God's promise to Abraham of a Jewish land, 4000 years ago. The paper discusses the differences between Jews and Arabs with regards to their claims on the land, the conquering nations throughout history who added fuel to fire in this dispute, the United Nations's decision to create a Jewish state in 1948, and the many wars that have been fought since then. The paper also touches on the question of whether Israel has a right to exist.
From the Paper
"Today, the world?s religious axis continues to revolve around the holy city Jerusalem. Three of the world?s major religions stem from this city, and all share the land no bigger than a few football fields. Ground zero is a hill in Jerusalem known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif, or the Noble Sanctuary (?Middle East Turmoil?). This is the site that all three religions agree Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son Isaac but was stopped at the last moment by an angel of God (Sachar, ?History of the Jews? 63). When the Romans destroyed the second holy Temple in 70 A.D., only one outer wall surrounding the Temple Mount remained standing. This remnant of what was the most sacred building in the Jewish world became the holiest spot in Jewish life. For Muslims, the Dome of the Rock, Islam?s third-holiest site, is said to be where the prophet Mohammad ascended to heaven (?Status of Jerusalem?). Unfortunately, they are situated virtually atop each other with both sides claiming rights to the land. So which people should fully possess the land that holds two very sacred and ancient religions?"

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."

This paper examines the future of the Palestinian refugees. It looks at Middle Eastern political issues surrounding the future of these people and the right of return and the founding of a Palestinian state. The paper give an historical overview of the Palestinian struggle.
From the Paper
"A forceful argument is finally under way regarding the future of the millions of Palestinian refugees fading away in congested camps. The Israelis have overlooked the refugee problem for decades; the brawl of revisits also seemed to fade away from Palestinian political dialogue and after the endorsement of the Oslo agreements (even as it remained of fundamental worry for the refugees themselves)."

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. "
