  1. The Palestinian and Israeli Conflict Kareem Awad, Steven Anderson, Yamato Ejiri

  2. Historical Context of Problem • Britain promises two sides land • Fighting quickly breaks out because Britain removes itself from the problem • The United Nations pass Resolution 181 but Arabs quickly object because the Israelis would get more land than the Arabs • After Israel declares itself an independent state, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq invade, but ultimately lose much of the land the UN had set aside for Arabs.

  3. Explanation of Problem Jews and Muslims both value Palestine because it is the “Holy land” Because of these high values, neither side wants to give up War has been getting worse over the years, with Intifada and suicide attacks

  5. Weakness: Jerusalem is very sacred to Muslims The Arabs would definitely revolt and war would break out One Jewish State Strength: Jews will have their own country The Wailing Wall is very sacred to Jews

  6. One Arab State Strength: Palestine gets their own state No more rebellion from Arabs • Jews might start rebelling • Palestine is supported by a terrorist group Hamas. Weakness: Jews don’t get their own independent state.

  7. Two State Solution Strength – Jews and Arabs will get their own state European Union supports it War would stop Weakness – Palestinians want the full land Hezbollah refuses to accept western influence

  8. Final Solution: Two-State Solution

  9. Why It is Good • Greatest for both states • War would end • Fairness to both states • Less discrimination • http://safari/?a=49151&ch=2&d=00761AA

  10. Will It Work? • Has been tried before, Arabs revolted causing the plan not to work. Arabs aren't involved anymore. • Each side wouldn't let up the opportunity to have their own state, so of course they'd take it. People who are involved with both sides wouldn't want to pick a side to fight with, so that their losing an ally, and making an enemy. • http://safari/?a=49151&ch=2&d=00761AA
