  1. When you get to questions in BLUE in this presentation, copy the questions onto your paper and answer them!

  2. This power point is intended to help you see the Palestinian perspective on the land of Israel (formerly Palestine) ruled by Arabs for about 1300 years.

  3. When the Palestinians say "End of occupation",What do they mean?

  4. For Palestinians, “End of Occupation”= End of Israel—the land being given back to the Palestinians to control.

  6. History Check: After WWI, The land of Israel became a British Mandate and was given to the Arabs to create the country of Palestine.

  7. After WWII, the same land was given to the Jews as a homeland and was named Israel….the conflict over the land continues…

  8. Following WWII, the British try to make the Arabs happy by creating Transjordan(mandate System) The land was then taken over by rebels & the British plan failed

  9. The birth of Israel • On November 29, 1947 the Jews were to be granted what appears on the map in blue. The plan granted the Jews in Palestine just over 56% of the area at a time when they owned less than 7% of the land and constituted approx. one-third of the population.

  10. Palestinians Today Disputed Territories: -Golan Heights (disputed w/ Syria) -West Bank (disputed w/ the Palestinians) -Gaza Strip (disputed w/ Egypt/Palestinians) • In Israel, Palestinians are second class citizens • Restricted movement • 40% of land owned by Palestinian Israelis confiscated for Jewish development projects • Israeli government preferentially targets health, education, public works, municipal and economic development to Jews rather than Arabs equally www.cnn.com/.../mideast/stories/ history.maps/accords.html
