The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has its roots in the late 19th/early 20th century with Jewish immigration to the British mandate of Palestine and the creation of Israel in 1948. This led to war between Israel and its Arab neighbors and the displacement of Palestinian refugees. Subsequent wars in 1967 and 1973 further shaped the territorial divisions and tensions continue today between Israel and Palestinian groups seeking statehood.

With the ongoing conflicts going on between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas, and the repeat invasion of Gaza, this presentation presents some historical context as well as areas to explore for a lasting peace.
The Forgotten Palestinians who live inside Israel. The Palestinians who live inside Israel are almost invisible. But they form 20% of the Israeli population and they are struggling for equality.
In all truth
This is not a presentation
It is more
It is the voice of emotions and feelings
It is a venting of passions and an analytic, objective statement of facts

'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

Red Star Over China (Speaker: Vincent Lee Kwun-leung) [Part 2]VincentKwunLeungLee
The "Red Star Over China" is a publication of Edgar Snow in 1968, with Victor Gollancz Limited in London as the publisher.
"Red Star Over China" recorded how the proletariat ideal of Communist Party was prospered as the mainstreamed ruling ideology in 20th-century China - from Menshevism of Chen Duxiu to Bolshevism of Mao Zedong.
Vincent Lee Kwun-leung (李冠良), the speaker of this academic talk, received the education of Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi (朱益宜教授) during her "Sino-American Relations" course at HKBU History Department in early 2009. Prof. Cindy Chu requested Vincent Lee and other students to do a "History Book Review" on "Red Star Over China" to analyze how an American journalist observed Communism in China.
Prof. Cindy Chu Yik-yi obtained a Ph-D qualification in University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her BA and M-Phil qualifications were from the University of Hong Kong. Prof. Chu is an alumnus of Maryknoll Convent School, and her Catholic growing background enables her to devote to the research on Maryknoll Sisters' missionary and charitable services in Hong Kong. Now, Prof. Chu is the Associate Director of HKBU David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies.

Powerpoint presentation on Israel Palestine ConflictAnoushkaSingh28
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a political conflict that began in the early 20th century. It is about who gets what land and how it's controlled. Both Jews and Arab Muslims claim the land dates back thousands of years.The dispute arose from the CONFLICTING CLAIMS TO THE LAND. The land that the Jewish people considered their ancestral homeland and sought to reestablish as a Jewish state was also regarded as historically belonging to the Palestinians by the Arabs.The one-state solution is a proposed approach to resolving the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, according to which one state would be established between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean. Proponents of this solution advocate a single state in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
I wanted to start off with this slide because many people do not think peace is possible but it is because Israel is at peace with two of its Arab neighbors Egypt (1979 through the Camp David Accords brokered by the US) and with Jordan (1994). Pictured are (from left to right: President Sadat of Egypt, President Jimmy Carter of the USA, and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel). Sadat was assassinated because many in Egypt opposed peace or even negotiations with Israel.
Around 1000BCE (3,000 years ago) King David of the Jews established his kingdom with its capital the city of Jerusalem (City of Yahweh). Yahweh is what the Jews called God. David’s son Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem (Jews holiest site). After Solomon, the kingdom was poorly led and divided into Israel in the north and Judah or Judea (where the word Jew comes from) in the south. This caused weakness.
By the time the Romans showed up, the northern kingdom was weakened by the Assyrians (not to be confused with Syrians) and Judea in the south by the Babylonians of Mesopotamia. So, Jews were easy prey for the Romans who easily conquered them. But the Jews revolted constantly because they wanted independence. After a major revolt in the year 70, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, the Jewish temple, told the Jews to leave, and even renamed the area to Palestina or Palestine.
Many Jews fled, others forced to flee, to different parts of the world even as far as Yangon in Burma!! But most went with the Romans to the various parts of their empire. As a result, more and more Arabs moved into the area from the rest of the Arabian peninsula. The Arabs built the Al-Aksa mosque on the same site as the Jewish temple was. This migration is called the Jewish Diaspora.
However, throughout their “diaspora” Jews suffered in the lands that they lived due to their unwillingness to conform and become Christian. As a result, many started to want to move to their ancestral home which was now called Palestine and ruled by the Ottoman Turks (Ottoman Empire). However, Jews came in waves from Russia and other parts of Europe due to persecution and bought land to settle on from the Ottoman rulers in Palestine. This upset the Arabs who lived there and who tried to force them to move back but the Jews kept coming and would not leave their ancestral home. The largest of these migrations back began in 1882 after a series of “pogroms” or attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire and the anti-Jewish feeling surrounding the Dreyfus Affair in France.
On Nov 2, 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration , viewed by Jews and Arabs as promising a “National Home” for the Jews in Palestine.
After the Ottomans were defeated in World War One, the British and French divided up their territories. As you see here, the British administered Palestine and what is called Transjordan. They hoped to divide it among the Jews (Palestine) and Arabs (Transjordan) as seen here.
After the British left in 1947 due to attacks from both Jews and Arabs, the United Nations took over and decided to divide up Palestine into an Arab (yellow) and Jewish (Brown) states. The Jews accepted this UN plan, although, it did not include their holy city of Jerusalem and was less territory than promised under the British. The Arabs, on the other hand, refused. The Jewish state of Israel declared independence anyway and the Palestinian Arabs and their Arab allies invaded Israel just 48 hours after it was “born”.
Oct . 29, 1956 Suez Campaign. In retaliation for a series of escalating border raids as well as the closure of the straits of Tiran and Suez canal to Israeli shipping, and to prevent Egyptian use of newly acquired Soviet arms in a war, Israel invades the Sinai peninsula and occupies it for several months, with French and British collaboration. May, 1964, the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) founded with the aim of destroying Israel . The Palestinian National Charter (1968) officially called for liquidation of Israel or “driving the Jews into the (Mediterranean) Sea” . May, 1967- Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser closes the straits of Tiran to vital Israeli shipping and dismisses UN peacekeeping force. Negotiations with US to reopen the Straits of Tiran fail. June 5-10,1967 “ 6-day war ” . Israel destroys the Egyptian air force on the ground, conquers and occupies Sinai and Gaza, then conquers the West Bank from Jordan, and Golan Heights from Syria . UN resolution 242 called for Israeli withdrawal, establishment of peace . 1967 Six Day War Timeline (chronology) Oct . 6, 1973 Yom Kippur War ( October War ). In a surprise attack on the Jewish day of atonement, Egypt retook the Suez canal and a narrow zone on the other side . Syria reconquered the Golan Heights . Following massive US and Soviet resupplying of the sides, Israel succeeded in pushing back the Syrians and threatening Damascus (capital of Syria) . In Sinai, the IDF crossed the Suez Canal and cut off the Egyptian Third Army .
You can barely see Israel on the map that is how small it is.
The divisions today: A future Palestinian state would include the West Bank and Gaza. However, at the moment Gaza is ruled by the militant and terrorist organization called Hamas and the West Bank by the more moderate successor of the PLO – Fatah. Their division is an obstacle to peace because Fatah negotiates with the Israeli’s while Hamas refuses and wants to see all of Palestine (including Israel) “liberated”. When you hear about rocket attacks launched on Israel they are coming from Hamas controlled Gaza. Furthermore, Fatah and Hamas do NOT get along. Jerusalem is an issue as well because both sites see it as their capital city and refuse to divide it. Jews see Jerusalem as their only holy city while Arabs have Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. Arabs disagree and see Jerusalem as a holy city as well due to the Al-Aksa mosque from which they believe the prophet Mohammed (founder of Islam) ascended into Heaven on a winged horse. Radical religious Israelis called “settlers” see the southern part of the West Bank as the ancient land of “Judea” (from which the word “jew” is derived) and settle that area upsetting both Palestinian Arabs and moderate Israelis. These settlers obviously also add to the tension and are an obstacle to peace. Israel is still in a state of war with Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. NOTE: This was a very quick summary and history of the situation
