Israeli - Palestinian Conflict English ProjectDue Friday, 13th Joonyon Park 6F
Can the teenagers of Israel and Palestine today recover from the violence they have faced all their lives? No. • Things are getting worse these days. • The killed families and the destroyed houses the can’t be simply recovered. • They can’t be educated with schools and teachers gone. • The terrible harm has a huge effect in their hearts and their body, and even though they fix their country, the violence shown to the teenagers’ hearts will never fade away.
Still Fighting • To recover, the war first has to end but it’s still going on and is getting worse. • Israeli tanks went to Gaza City, with families escaping and other families dead.[1] • The Israeli military bombed a city in Gaza and threw more rockets for revenge.[2] A jet bombing Gaza…
Death Everywhere • Without their friends and parents, who’s going to play with them and take care? • From 2000 Sept. 29, 123 innocent Israeli children were killed and 1487 innocent Palestinian children were killed.[3] • In Gaza, from 12/27/08~1/18/09, 9 Israelis adults and 1380 Palestinian adults were killed.[4] • A bomber blew a hotel up in Israel, killing himself and twenty others in 2002.[5]
Once Hurt, Goes Forever • First of all, health problems. If you don’t have a healthy body, you can’t do anything. • A suicide bomber injured more than 130 people around him.[6] • Last year, the average injuries per day was 19.6 for Palestinians.[7] • Bombs are still occurring in Gaza and West Bank. What will you do if you’re injured badly and can’t move a bit?
Environment Gone • The environment is completely destroyed. It’s going to take a pretty long time to recover. • Children are suffering with their schools bombed and their house destroyed in Gaza.[8] • Palestinian children pray on the destroyed mosque (bombed by Israelis) in Gaza. [9] • Where would you go if you were a Palestinian child?
No Education • If you want to recover and fix the environment, the teenagers should be educated. • The problem is how, with all the schools and teachers gone? • They don’t have food supplies and clothes to wear for school. It’s a disaster.[10] • Since their schools are gone, no education, kids moved to UNRWA schools (emergency shelters).[11]
Habibi [12] • The first example is in page 90, where it says “Lots of them are waiting for a true, independent Palestine, too. They’re not going to give up when they’re this close.” • When it says ‘waiting for a true, independent Palestine, too’, it means right now they aren’t independent from Israelis yet. • Also, in page 92, Sitti’s bed has a big dent which Israeli soldiers did with a gun.
Habibi [13] • The second example is from page 95, when a man said “Why you bother with this animal?”, he insulted Bassam offensively by thinking that Liyana was Jewish. • Then Liyana didn’t hit the man, making a bit of change to the conflict (calmness). • So you can see that there are a lot of clues (more what I showed) in the book to tell you that the conflict is still going on also in their minds.
Finish the War • Would you like it if your house and school is destroyed? How about your families all dead and you have nothing left? Never. • Nobody likes wars with death and terror. So please, Israelis and Palestinians, follow the United Nation’s decisions to finish the war in a happy ending. Click on the video to see Gaza bombed.
