Why Do You Think Israelites Should Be Demilitarized?
Israel believes and argues that if they are to give up land, their people should be able to live long happy lives. Not lives lived in fear of suicide bombers and air raids. The Israeli government believes that the West Bank should be demilitarized.
Israelites should be able to live lives without the fear of dying. Israel believes - and I agree, that the West Bank should be demilitarized because the towns near it could potentially be annihilated if any of the heavy machinery was to go off. Israel argues this because at its thinnest point Israel is only nine miles wide. That makes it quite hard to fend off attacks and it makes Israel liable to being split into different parts. Which isn't good for Israel. Good for the Arab countries but not

Israelites shouldn’t have to live in fear of suicide bombers and of air raids, they deserve to live long happy lives filled with joy and laughter. I mean come on, why do the Arab countries have to have what was Palestine but is currently called Israel? They already have, Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Now granted not all of these countries are the biggest (Djibouti, Jordan, etc.) but a lot of them are really quite big. Not to mention some of them aren’t even in the Middle East let alone near Israel (Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, etc.). Although Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are huge! Also Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt all have access to the Mediterranean Sea. Palestine and the rest of the Arab League don’t need Israel and if they continue to badger Israel and to attack it, the least they could do is let it have more security. Plus, Israel really isn’t that big. The only reason that they want Israel is because they believe that God gave it to them, oh, and they want access to the Mediterranean

    Israelis and Palestinians conflict will continue indefinitely until they forgive each other in order to move forward in peace. The primary approach to solving the conflict today is a "two-state solution" that would establish Palestine as an independent state in Gaza and most of the West Bank, leaving the rest of the land to Israel. Though the two-state plan is clear in theory, the two sides are still deeply divided over how to make it work in practice. The alternative to a two-state solution is a "one-state solution," wherein all of the land becomes either one big Israel or one big Palestine. Most observers think this would cause more problems than it would solve, but this outcome is becoming more likely over time for political and demographic reasons.…

    In order to solve political problems in Gaza they use Violence, which creates a great unbalanced power that can discriminate and destroy against anyone who is different or has different views than you. “But it was not violence that won full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding. ”This quote from President Obama completely contradicts what happened in Ender’s Game and what is currently happing in Egypt. Nothing is being achieved innocent people, who too have the same human right, will perish because of the name of violence.…

    Palestinians and israelis have been fighting over land because of the oil and other sources. "Prior to the discovery of oil, the region had been hotbed for religious conglict and wars and other rich sources and arable land." (Shan, Anup). "Palestinians are exhausted, desperate and very angry because of the israelis occupation of their land; however israelis are exhausted, desperate and very angry because of the Palestinians terrorist attacks."(Adams, R Jerry, Ph.D.). Both Palestinias and israelis are creating their own problems amongst each other and should just stop the fighting instead...…

    However, discriminatory measures are certainly not supported by Judaism, the shared identity between the majority and the Israeli government. As a peace loving religion, Judaism affirms that all men are of equal value and worth, and are inherently pure and good. Similarly, American military airstrikes that kill civilians are not democratic, as they violate the grounding principle of basic human rights as the state cannot take away. Thus, by taking actions that are not supported by Judaism and democracy respectively in combating the threat of the Other, these countries fail to effectively promote and abide by the common identity upon which they have securitized the Other. Hence, it is clear that ulterior socio-economic and political motives lie in the adoption of discriminatory policies by the Israeli government and the increase in military air strikes by the American government, although they are publicized as efforts to mitigate the…

    There are two solutions to the problem, the one-state solution and the two-state solution. The one-state solution would combine Israel, the Gaza strip and the West Bank into one country. There are two sides to this solution. One of them is favored by some Palestinians, creating a single democratic country where Arab Muslims would outnumber Jews. This would essentially end Israel as a Jewish state as the identity would be washed out with the Palestinian Arab population. The other side is favored by some Israelis. This involves Israel taking control of the West Bank and forcing out the Palestinians or taking away their right to vote. However, this has been rejected by many, including Zionists, the extremist Jewish group, as it is a human rights violation. The two-state solution is exactly what it sounds like, a separate Israel and separate Palestine. This would satisfy both the Israelis and Palestinians as both countries run separately. This two-state solution “has been the goal of the international community for decades, dating back to the 1947 UN Partition Plan, and many nations say that it is the only way out of the conflict,” according to Oren Liebermann, Angela Dewan, and Lauren Said-Moorhouse of CNN. However, the inability of Israelis and Palestinians to decide on terms of a two-state solution poses interest in a one-state solution, partially since if the two sides…

    Over the past few weeks, Israel has suffered an alarming number of terrorist attacks. In the month of October alone, there have been 43 stabbings, four shootings, and five car-rammings. Lives have been shattered in an entirely irreparable, heinous manner. While these attacks are undoubtedly anti-Semitic in nature, various media outlets mislead readers with vague headlines and biased outlooks.…

    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.…

    Israel is a tiny country in the Near East that is surrounded by a multitude of hostile nations. Ever since Israel became a nation in 1948, the country has been invaded a number of times and has fought over 50 wars. It wouldn’t take much to defend the country, for an Israeli traveling agency states, “Israel is a small country - a little over 20,000 square kilometers”. That territory has been one of the most disputed territories in the history of mankind, and there hasn’t been peace in that territory for thousands of years. In recent years, their greatest threat has been the terrorist organizations of Hamas which is located in the Gaza Strip, and Hezbollah which is centered in Lebanon. They have fired mortars and rockets into the land of Israel, and the Israeli government was finally fed up with it and introduced a new system of defense to be development, which would be known as the Iron Dome.…

    Michael Taraz wrote, “They share the same aquifers, the same highway network, the same electricity grid and the same international borders” (Two Peoples, One State). This means that for years the the Israelis and the palestinians have been living as if they have been one state. They have been sharing much of their resources and networks. It would make more sense to keep everything the way that it is already set up.…

    By creating a Palestinian state several of the Middle East issues could be solved. One of the major problems between these two sides is the West Bank and Gaza Strip occupation. Israel has taken this territory as theirs since the 6-day war. From that time on Israel has build and grow its population about 220,000 (In a Nutshell: Israeli Palestinian Conflict P. 2). This has been mostly in the West Bank. As a result Palestinians insist withdrawal from the territory. In the Camp David Accord Israel agreed on giving full Palestinian control over the Gaza Strip and most of the West Bank. These would certain conditions such as: The state would not have an army with heavy weapons and Israel would lease areas in the Jordan Valley or maintain temporary sovereignty over them for up to 25 years. Palestinians rejected this treaty.…

    Ethnic Identity Essay

    Israel is to have an explicit ethnic identity, bolstered by governmental fiat through legislation favoring racially Jewish immigration and enshrined in Israeli culture in its holidays, art, and public spaces. Yitzchak Rabin, patron saint of the Israeli center and left, a man most would not accuse of racism or rabid nationalism, proclaimed “The red line for Arabs is 20% of the population, that must not be gone over….I want to preserve the Jewish character of the state of Israel not by name only, but also in action, values, language, and culture.” This model appears little different than the nations of the old country. Sure, other peoples are afforded the full amount of safety and the enjoyment of basic rights, but they are to be aware that Israel is primarily a Jewish country, concerned with promoting the Jewish interest and ensuring the cultural and demographical dominance of its Jewish…
