  1. Palestine & Its People what is the history of Palestine? • In recent history the area called Palestine includes the territories of present day Israel and Jordan from 1517 to 1917 most of this area remained under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. • The residents of Palestine are called "Palestinians". Since Palestine includes both modern day Israel and Jordan both Arab and Jewish residents of this area were referred to as "Palestinians”. http://www.science.co.il/History-Palestine.asp • How do Palestinians feel about Israel? • There is no denying the fact that some Palestinians think as many Israel’s do, and very possibly they do so because they were the victims of such treatment themselves. • Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, you have to agree that it is human nature to respond to terror with terror and to racism with racism, these are facts that all decent people must accept and deplore simultaneously. • (JBOOTH) • http://www.palestineremembered.com/Acre/Palestine-Remembered/Story417.html

  2. Palestine • Who are the current Palestinian leaders? • The Current leader is Aziz Duwaik. (Jenna Booth, http://en.domotica.net/Aziz_Duwaik)Do Palestinians present a practical argument for political independence? • Yes, they have tried many things. They have tried to pass laws, "Palestine’s right of return". They have also tried the 6 day war to get back what they believe is theirs. They have tried many ways to overcome this argument but so far none of them have worked. (Jenna Booth, http://www.mideastweb.org/refugees3.htm ) • What legal rights to Palestinians have in Israel today? • They don’t really have an legal rights • They have no control over what the Israel’s do to them. They can't enter the Israel’s territory without Israel’s thinking they have bombs with them or any sort of weapon. They are currently trying to resolve this argument but so far it hasn't been working. (Jenna Booth, http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/12/14/the_palestinians_are_the_real_obstacle_to_peace )

  3. Palestinian Obstacles • What Palestinian obstacles are standing in the way of a peace settlement? • Some of the obstacles that stand in the way of peace have received much attention in this country. • Suicide bombings directed against Israeli civilians have been massively condemned, and the Palestinian leadership subjected to relentless from both Israel and the U.S. to find and arrest the bombers. • Global Exchange condemns violence directed against civilians, and we mourn the deaths of all innocents—Israelis who have been the victims of bombings and the much larger number of Palestinian civilians killed by the Israeli military and by settlers. • By knowing this information, it says that they do not get along or have any peace settlement currently. But both countries are trying to defend their own country, so in their eyes they are doing nothing wrong. (Jenna Booth, http://www.globalexchange.org/countries/mideast/palestine/ )

  7. What is Terrorism? • The term terrorism means- calculated use of violence and by doing so install fear on people. • The Hammas which is one of the major the Palestinian terrorist group and the Lehi which is the one major Israel terrorist group. (Michael H)

  10. Attempts to Stop Terrorism? • A lot of countries have just stood by and watched the violence in Israel continue. Other countries should try to help out and try and help with a peace agreement. • If killing breaks out, might result in a genocide. “Are terrorists making it harder to do a peace settlement?” • Yes because if the hammas or the Israelis are making violent attacks against one another. • (Michael H)

  12. U.S./Israel Relations • The U.S. puts importance on keeping the peace with other states and countries. The U.S. has given aid to Israel from 1976 to 2004. The U.S. tries to keep things balanced and not get into difficult situations with Israel. Some say the US is too friendly with Irael and is not treating them equal to the other countries with the amount of aid we give them. Other people think that because we are close with Israel that there are more US relations in that area. Israel is also one of the US's main allies.
