Abstract
This paper examines how the Palestinian people have met with many instances of discrimination in Israel, leading to their entrapment as a dominated people.

From the Paper
"The economic disparities between the Palestinian Arabs and the Jews evidence a clear discrimination taking place against the Palestinians. Without economic capital, there is little hope for change for the Arabs in Israel especially since their economic disadvantage is cemented in by a lack of representation within the Israeli government. However, over the past several years many Arab nations have been pouring funds into Palestine in support of an independent Palestinian state. Unfortunately, much of this money has gone to the purchase of weapons, the funding of terrorist organizations, and into the pockets of the Palestinian leaders."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and the idea that Israel took the Palestinians land and made them into second class citizens.
From the Paper
"The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is decades old. It can be traced to two wars that were fought in 1948 and 1967. According to Harald Frederiksen, At the end of the 1948-49 war, 750,000 Arabs were driven from the urban areas and the lands within Israel that they owned, a majority of the land comprising Israel (Frederiksen 73). This meant that many Arabs that had been living in the area now known as Israel were forcibly driven out of their cities. In the 1967 war the Israelis made the situation worse by taking over resources."

Past US Role in the Israeli Palestine Conflict
Possible Reasons for the American Administration's Current Inaction

From the Paper
"As violence escalates in Palestine, the intractable problem becomes even more intractable. Intense fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the most intense inside the borders of the former Palestine since Israel?s creation in 1948, are claiming a daily toll in double digits. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon?s increasingly tough tactics are exacerbating the conflict. A war of attrition is going on that has the potential to escalate into an all out regional war."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates the culpability of Palestinian educators in creating a climate that is intolerant, contemptuous of civil debate and which openly seeks the destruction of the Jewish state. The paper discusses what can be done to change the course of Palestinian education. The paper concludes that if Palestine can be prevailed upon to produce textbooks emphasizing basic numeracy and literacy instead of revenge, there is hope that the future of the Middle East can be less bloody than its past.
From the Paper
"To begin with, it is worth noting that Palestinians have been using Jordanian and Egyptian curricula and textbooks since the early 1950s. In light of the fact that Egypt has been a pretty virulent enemy of Israel for decades, it may be said that someone else's hatred not only found its way into Palestinian textbooks but actually complemented and amplified the antipathy Palestinians already felt towards Israel. In any case, Dr. Sami Adwan of Bethlehem University also writes that the aforementioned textbooks were subject to "complete censorship" by the Israeli military governor in the years between 1967 and 1993. Even when this state of affairs was modified in the 1990s, Adwan - who is Palestinian - writes that the Israelis continue to restrict the freedom of Palestinian students and teachers to move where they wish - and that the production of a new wave of Palestinian textbooks since the dawn of this decade has been done against a backdrop of violence and hopelessness."

Abstract
The following paper discusses four different theories for explaining the entry of the people of Israel into the land of Israel, as seen by Callaway: Military incursion, gradual infiltration, peasant uprising and a composite view.
From the Paper
"In the period c. 1200 BCE, we find the shift from Late Bronze II to Iron I. The presence of iron tools allowed farmers (pioneers) to dig cisterns and engage in terrace-style farming. The book of Joshua argues for the total conquest of the land, by a unified force of Israelites. But, in places (Josh. 9, 13.13) it appears that the conquest was not total. The book of Judges suggests that the land was shared with the Canaanites and then the people attempted to conquer it. In this book, the conquest appears to be incomplete. (Judges 1.19-28, etc.). Archaeological evidence suggests that after 1560 BCE Jericho was no longer occupied."

The Economic Cost of War on Israel, 2002.

Abstract
The writer compares the Israeli economy with the macroeconomic model pertaining to the circular flow of money through the economy, observing that the contraction occurring among the main economic actors (households and business sector) is not being reflected in the conduct of the Israeli government. The paper argues that the government is forced to maintain its level of military expenditure to counter the increasing level of violence the war is generating. With Israel?s contribution to the international export markets evaporating combined with decreasing business sentiment and consumer confidence, not to mention increasing dependence on the U.S. for foreign aid, the future of Israel?s economic health does not bode well. The paper also argues that Israel needs to establish true peace before it can hope to overcome its economic recession.
From the Paper
"Israel is an economy that has previously defied economic forecasts. Up until recently, its economy did not comply with the normal prerequisites for success. However, with the escalating presence of its war of attrition with Palestine, the factors that were once driving its economic growth and defying its detractors, is now slowly being eroded by its increasing commitment to fighting Palestine. This paper endeavors to explore the factors that once drove Israel?s economic growth and the aspects of the Israel-Palestinian war that are now hampering Israel?s economic health. By comparing the case of Israel to standard macroeconomic models, one can observe the unique case posed by Israel?s economy."

Israel and the Security Fence, 2005.

Abstract
This well-researched paper examines the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, while focusing on the various events that led to the decision to construct a security wall that would separate the two nations. This paper discusses Israel's implementation of "Operation Defensive Wall", which came about in 2002 in response to a suicide bombing in which 28 Israelis were killed by Palestinian terrorists that infiltrated Israel's borders. This in-depth paper analyzes Israel's history from its birth as a state in 1948 to the present as well as the country's continuous battle to survive amidst hostile Arab neighbors such as Syria. The writer of this paper contends that there are various options to maintaining a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians which do not include the security fence. One option would be to offer financial incentives to the Palestinians while another would be for Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders. This paper discusses the pros and cons involved in Israel returning occupied land to the Palestinians in hopes for peace and lasting security.
From the Paper
"Since the end of formal hostilities in 1973, the attacks on Israel from its hostile neighbors have been replaced by shadowy groups that rely more on terror tactics than infantry and tanks. First the PLO, which led to Israel's invasion of Southern Lebenon in 1982 and subsequently Hizbollah, which was formed in 1983, and Hamas in 1988. Both of these groups had, as their stated intention, the murder of every Jew and the destruction of the state of Israel and its allies. It was after twenty years of these terrorist tactics, and the lives of hundreds of innocent Israelis, that Israel began to consider building a fence around its borders. It would be almost another ten years before it finally implemented this tactic. Israel's decision to build a wall separating itself from external threats has become a controversial one. Seen within Israel as the best chance to reduce or eliminate terrorism, and solidify the border between the Jewish state and the Palestinian state, it is viewed by much of the outside world as a symbol of oppression."

From the Paper
"The religious claims of the Jews can be considered to be void if we look at the fact that Jerusalem is also a sacred place for the Muslims. In Six hundred AD, Muslim armies moved in from Arabia and conquered Palestine. Muslim influence and power has remained in the area for a long time and they have allowed the Jews and the Christians to exist peacefully in the country. The Muslims also came to regard Jerusalem as their holy city because Prophet Mohammed was believed to have ascended to heaven from this very place. The sacred mosque of al-Aqsa was built on the place, which is regarded as the site of the Jewish temples. The area later came under the Ottoman Empire and subsequent reorganization after the war with Napoleon saw the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. [Isseroff, 2002]. Hence the religious importance of the place stands on a neutral footing."

Abstract
This paper argues that to understand the suggested two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, one must first understand the origins of the conflict. An overview of the history is presented from the Palestinian viewpoint. Conditions that the Palestinians side deems necessary for a two-state solution are presented in a list format. The author concludes that the greatest impediment to the two-state solution, however, is trust on both sides.
From the Paper
" In essence the various political events in the region over the past century have created two separate and opposing realities or "narratives". The first is the Israeli narrative of the horror of the Holocaust, coupled with claims to the Holy lands which are seen as being ordained by God to the Jewish people. This has resulted in the occupation of Palestine and the violence, demolition of houses etc. More importantly it leads to what is perceived as the denial of Palestinian autonomy and a reduction of a sense of dignity and the very right to their narrative or political history."

From the Paper
"President George W. Bush has referred to the "legitimate aspirations" of the Palestinian people for an independent state. But people who embrace suicide bombings and choose career killers as their leaders--as the Palestinians have done--have no legitimate political aspirations. Writer William F. Buckley, for all of his many faults, is credited with a turn of phrase that eloquently captures this fact. Speaking about an African country's desire for independence, he quipped, "They'll be ready for democracy when they stop eating each other." Although he was referring to the practice of literal cannibalism, the same thing applies metaphorically to the Palestinians. They can be trusted with a representative government only when they stop worshipping murderers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israeli government in the light of Gene Sharp's power theory, which if utilized to its full extent, could lead to peace in the region. The Palestinians attack Israel to get back their lost and conquered homeland. The powerful Israeli government defends itself but kills a lot of Palestinians in the process. No one uses non-violence to cease conflict.

Abstract
The Arabs in Israel belong to the larger Palestinian/Arab community, but instrumentally, they belong to Israel as their state of citizenship where they must have their daily needs met. While they enjoy a range of rights, they do not have equal rights with Jews since Israel is a state of the Jewish people. Discrimination against the Palestinian citizens has been reconciled with Israeli democracy on the basis that the Palestinians are a potential threat to the security of the state.

Abstract
The following paper examines several issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as the Suez Canal crises, the Balfour Declaration, the Yom Kippur War and the Six Day War. The writer discusses the events that lead to the major unresolved issues that remain today in Israel, namely the status of Jerusalem; the future of Israeli settlements; and the rights of Palestine refugees. This paper is written by a pro-Palestinian supporter.
From the Paper
"In 1994, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip and Jericho, ending 27 years of occupation. A Palestinian police force replaced them. In 1995, then a Jewish extremist assassinated Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who had been involved in the latest peace processes.
In April 1996, Israeli forces bombed Lebanon for 17 days, with Hezbollah retaliating by firing upon populated areas of Northern Israel. Israel also bombed a UN shelter, killing about 100 out of 800 civilians sheltering there. The UN claimed it was intentional. In 1998, the Wye River Memorandum planned Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank but Israel suspended it in 1999 due to internal disagreements on its implementation."
