The United Nation suggested dividing Palestine into two countries, one
Arab, and one Jewish. The Arab leaders said no to the plan but the Jewish
leaders accepted and declared it the state of Israel.

Around the 11th century BCE.


Zionism is the belief that Israel has a
right to exist as a democratic Jewish
State nothing more nothing less.

 They just like the Palestinians want the

The three main religions are?
•Islam
•Christianity
•Judaism
What should be done about Jerusalem? Who controls what sectors?
•As the conflict continues in the Middle East, the search for an fair solution must come to grips with the root
cause of the conflict. The problem is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational
“terrorists” who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians
have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and
mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes on both sides
inevitably follow from this original injustice.
•Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four uneven quarters, although the current designations
were introduced only in the 19th century. Today, the Old City is roughly divided into the Muslim Quarter, the
Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and the Armenian Quarter. Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the
Old City found itself located entirely on the Jordanian side of the demarcation line. During the Six Day War
in 1967, which saw hand to hand fighting on the Temple Mount, Israel occupied the Old City alongside the
rest of East Jerusalem.
What religious 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 diplomatic, economic and military pressure 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.
Are there any similarities between the religions?

Monotheistic religions, they believe that there is only one God and that this God is the origin and
source of all that exists.
They all believe that We are the children of Abraham.
Share similar prophets (Moses)
Hopeful about the future. Evil and suffering cannot ultimately prevail. God has provided a condition
(or state of being) for us = Paradise.
God and human beings can and should communicate with each other. By revelation God
communicates to people, among which the most important are revelation through prophets. (Holy
books)
What religious claims can each side make towards the land of Israel?
Palestinians and Islamics are using religious fervor to ignite the masses in a national struggle, In Islam,
religion and nationalism are intertwined together
The Middle East has been the focus of conflict for hundreds of years; and currently Israeli-Palestinian
relations are dangerously unstable. As a result of religious and cultural differences, Jews and Arabs
battle each other in an attempt to solidify their own sovereignty. As a result of these unsettling times
the President of the United States of America has assembled a Middle East Advisory Committee to
inform him on the Arab-Israeli conflict. You have been chosen as a member of this committee, and it is
your job to assume one of the assigned roles and to report to the President the pertinent information
that will help him better understand the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to conclude
whether or not a peace plan is resolvable. Do not take this job lightly, the security of the world
depends on a resolution.

Problems that prevent a peace treaty include:
Both of the nationalities want all the land for
themselves.
Both nationalities also want Jerusalem for
themselves.

The solution we came up with is:

First off they would split the land 50/50

Secondly both the countries would share
Jerusalem together.

But in that situation both countries would
have to help govern Jerusalem
