    Due to this, there is a tendency amongst scholars to show a disproportionate amount of attention to the Jewish historical context, such has the Yishuv and Zionism. The majority of information that has been accumulated has been pieced together post 1948 and 1967, after the forced dispersions of Arabs from their lands. The forced removal of Arabs resulted in the destruction of important historical documents from archives, libraries, and personal property that would have contained important information regarding Palestinian ways of life. Consequently, while the relational paradigm is more suitable for accuracy in depicting how Jews and Arabs interacted with one another than the dual society paradigm, it does not provide scholars and historians with all the answers they need to fill in all the blank spaces in Arab life; economics, politics, culture, and social norms. According to Lockman, the most important factor that led towards the relational paradigm came into existence because once the state of Israel was “established,” they were no longer able to completely deny the presence of the Arab population living within their midst. The Jewish scholars wanted to know more about them and to what extent they were effecting Jewish…

    In this article, Ella Habiba Shohat, discusses the domination of European Jews, the Ashkenazim, over the voices of the Arab Jews, the Sephardim. The Zionist master narrative portrays the idea that “Zionism ‘saved’ the Sephardim from the harsh rule of their Arab ‘captors,’” while modernizing and integrating them into their own European culture. (270). The Ashkenazi Israeli equates the Sephardi to the Arab, as uneducated and primitive, yet blame and view them as the “obstacle to peace” because of their supposed hatred of the Arab, creating an attitude portraying a colonial parallel operative. Shohat correlates the history of Zionism with that of the Palestinians and Sephardi, stating, “An essential feature of colonialism is the distortion and…

    Many of them felt that it would only be a short stay and they would soon be able to return home. Since then that idea has become grim and hopeless; many generations have grown up without so much as a symbolic hope that they might ever return home. For a short period in the 1977 Israel started a heavily subsidized “build-your-own home program for Palestinian refugees” (). The program was designed to provide housing for some ten thousand families which included a “plot of land and full infrastructure” (). This did not sit well with the PLO strategy and they became fearful that they would want to support peace and oppose violence. Unfortunately, for those some ten thousand families they were being forced from their homes yet again and back into refugee camps this time with even worse living conditions. Initially, they were living in tents eventually they were replaced with block structures and zinc roofs. They often do not have running water, electricity, and the winter floods are the worst washing in the open sewage. Now, according to the UN relief and works agency (UNRWA) there are over “3.9 million refugees in the camps and growing” (). Despite the increasing population the conditions of the camps continue to deteriorate. “We have no rights and no future. We have a lot of problems; we can't work freely, we cannot own a house, we cannot move around. We are treated as if we are not human,” said 20-year-old Samar, from Shatilla.…

    With some connections to the idea of struggle and survival, we can use The Inheritance of Exile by Susan Muaddi Darraj and A Gathering of Old Men by Ernest J. Gaines to show that a home may not always be a safe and secure place. Both stories represent the importance of a rooted home with the exceptions to the difficulties within that home. We will see the struggles behind the immigrant Palestinian women now living in America as they share their personal stories with their daughters, of living in refugee camps. As for the old men gathered at a Louisiana sugarcane plantation known as Marshalls. They await Fix Boutan’s arrival for the murder of his son Beau Boutan. They will share their personal and collective…

    On the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinian land has been increasingly taken over by Israel for years. An extremist Jewish group called the Zionists, emerged in the late 1800s , seeking to find a homeland for the Jews, and searching in both Africa and the Americas before finally settling on Palestine. This did not appear as a problem or threat at first but as many more Zionists immigrated to Palestine with the intention of taking over the land to create a Jewish state, fighting broke out with the Palestinians, increasingly surging with Hitler’s rise to power during World War I. To this day, Palestinians have very minimal control of what mere land they have left, especially with Israel’s military forces using extremely oppressive methods.…

    Palestine, or is it Israel? Either way, it is a highly contested land between two major Semitic groups: the Arabs, and the Hebrews. From the late 19th century, and throughout the 20th century it has been the focal point of Arab nationalism and Jewish Zionism. Today, it has become the Jewish state of Israel with occupied Palestinian Territories called the West Bank, which lies on the West side of the Jordan River, and the Gaza Strip, which borders Israel and Egypt. But, should the Palestinians deserve a state of their own? This essay will investigate the Palestinian side of the argument, their Biblical and Quranic ties to the land, the State of Palestine should have been created under Jordanian Egyptian as well as Israeli occupation of the land, and finally Israel’s poor relations with Palestine and colonial occupation of the land has led to the formation of many radical groups.…

    To further conflict, Israel constructed the Israeli West Bank barrier, separating Israeli territory from Palestinian territory. The Israeli West Bank barrier has been internationally condemned as a ruthless tactic to simply keep families apart. This is the captivity that news outlets such as Cable News Network, Fox News, and CBS News choose not to report on. After spending almost half of a year in Palestine (over a few summer breaks), I myself have experienced the deprivation and heartbreak that the Palestinians experience daily; my motivation to express the captivity Palestinians endure stems solely from my personal observations while traveling through the holy land during the summer after the eighth grade. The elongated list of conflicts instantaneously symbolizes that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will most likely linger on the foreseeable future, but I am here to elucidate the hidden captivity that the Palestinian community experiences…

    Ethnic Group Conflict

    • 1786 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Cultural clashes, global wars, international misunderstandings, and ethnic conflicts have been occurring for decades. As early as the 1940s, constant hostility within the Middle East has resulted in suffering to human rights, education, and family structure (Huntington, Fronk & Chadwick, 2001). Culture seems to be implicated as the major contributor to conflict. The increasing modernization is strongly intertwined in this process, as it challenges traditional ideas, conservative values, and educational obstacles. How and why ethnic group conflicts occur will be illustrated in this paper by comparing and examining two ethnic groups at war. The concept of conformity and its relations to the ethnic groups will be explained as well as the kinship between social perception and social cognition. In addition, the necessary social perceptions for the resolution of the conflict will be discussed.…
