Non-violence Strategies in Israel/Palestine
As the world is familiar with the on-going conflict between Israel and Palestine, and we are aware that the uproar between these two nations had been in the most extreme form. Judaism and Islam are two of the world's oldest and largest monotheistic religions. These religions share a variety of customs, beliefs, and practices. At the same time, there are enough differences that make these two clash. Although there are many conflicts going on in this particular moment around the world, I chose the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Palestine. I believe that unless there is a resolution of this conflict, there will never be peace in this portion of the world, and in order to bring peace, they need to use Martin Luther King and Gandhi’s non-violence strategy to bring stability in that region. When I saw this film about the Israel-Palestinian War, I was quite shocked to see how Israelis have power over destroying Palestinian homes where innocent kids reside. Israel have the fear that Palestine might attack them using suicide bombs, which they consider terrorism and that has created tensions between both parties. On the other hand, Palestinians have been bombing them in revenge of Jewish people who they hate the most. Palestinians people are killed more because Israelis have more weapons and support from the highly-industrialized nations, who sell them weapons and aid them money for their benefits. Palestinians have been empty handed and have no money, no power, no weapons and Israelis take advantage of this fact. In Palestine, children and youth are taught about martyrdom and they are brainwashed against Jewish people to hate and kill them. When Israeli tanks come there, children are expected to throw stones at the tanks with the hope to destroy them. One of the children depicted in the film, Salem, who was 14 years old died in battling against the Jewish who had tanks with them. Rather than learning any lesson from
