In the wake of Operation Protective Edge, in which more than 2000 Palestinians were killed by Israel, a basic question is addressed “Why is Gaza such a problem for Israel?”
The document discusses Canada's commitment to a two-state solution to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. It outlines the key parameters of the 2000 Clinton peace plan, which proposed two independent states based on 1967 borders with land swaps. It notes the large number of Palestinian refugees in surrounding countries and their poor living conditions. It also highlights the socioeconomic inequalities faced by Arab citizens of Israel compared to Jewish Israelis. In conclusion, it provides population statistics on where Israelis and Palestinians currently live.
Who are the Palestinians, why are they frustrated and what do they want?NECIP_Canada
The document discusses the Palestinians, who they are, why they are unhappy, and what they want. It describes the Palestinians as an Arab people who have historically lived in the area known as Palestine for 2000 years. They became unhappy when many were forced from their land in 1948 and not allowed to return. Today, Palestinians live dispersed across Gaza, the West Bank, other countries in the region, Israel, and globally. Overall, Palestinians want the same things as others - a country, land, homes, and economic opportunities for themselves and future generations. The document provides historical and demographic context on Palestinians and outlines the issues they face in different areas today.
This document discusses the issue of Palestinian refugees and makes several arguments:
1) Israel did not solely create the Palestinian refugee problem - many Palestinians fled or were encouraged to flee by Arab leaders promising a short return after Israel's defeat.
2) Arab nations perpetuated the refugee issue by refusing to resettle Palestinians and explicitly seeking to use them as a weapon against Israel.
3) There is a disincentive for resettling Palestinian refugees, as their official status extends to descendants indefinitely, and some claim refugee status only to continue receiving UN aid despite not living in camps.
4) Israel provides a model of how it absorbed and created a homeland for Jewish refugees from Arab lands following 1948.
This document discusses the concept and tactics of "pinkwashing". Pinkwashing refers to Israel's strategy of portraying itself as LGBTQ-friendly in order to deflect from criticism of its violations of Palestinian human rights. Some key points made in the document include:
- Pinkwashing is a well-funded public relations campaign used by Israel and pro-Israel groups to rebrand Israel and obscure its human rights abuses.
- It inappropriately co-opts LGBTQ issues and voices to make Israel appear progressive while ignoring the oppression faced by queer Palestinians.
- Tactics include vilifying surrounding countries, promoting gay tourism in Israel, spotlighting Israeli gay culture internationally, and appropriating terms like
How Israeli PR uses the language of gay rights to appeal to western liberals, and "pinkwash" over the state's ongoing human rights abuses in Palestine.
1) In the late 19th century, the population of Palestine was predominantly Arab Muslim and Christian at around 96.8%, while Jews made up only 3.2% of the population. Jewish immigration increased this percentage to 11% by 1922 and 16.9% by 1931.
2) The UN partition plan of 1947 gave 43% of the land to Arabs despite making up over two-thirds of the population, and 56% to Jews who comprised around one-third. Israel declared statehood in 1948 amid mass displacement and expulsion of Palestinians.
3) From 2000-2007, over 4,000 Palestinians were killed by Israelis including 816 children, while 1,021 Israelis were killed by Palestinians including 119 children,
The document discusses the Israel/Palestine conflict and the West Bank barrier (or wall) constructed by Israel in 2003. It provides perspectives from Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community on the barrier and its impact. Maps show the location of the West Bank and route of the barrier. Comparisons are made between the West Bank barrier and the Berlin Wall constructed in 1961.
The document provides a timeline of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the late 1800s to present day. It summarizes that Zionism emerged in response to violence against Jews, the British took control of Palestine after WWI and the Balfour Declaration supported a Jewish homeland, and the Holocaust led many Jews to move to Palestine, intensifying tensions with Arabs. It then outlines the major wars, peace agreements, uprisings, and ongoing violence between Israel and its neighbors over control of the land.

King draws parallels between the Jewish and African rights to nationhood and condemns denying Jews this right while supporting it for other peoples.
- The conflict in Darfur began in 2003 when two non-Arab rebel groups took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government to protest their mistreatment.
- The Sudanese government responded with aerial bombings and ground attacks by Arab militias called the Janjaweed, who attempted to kill all men, capture women, and steal valuables from non-Arab villages.
- Over 200,000 people have died so far and over 1.5 million have been displaced from their homes as a result of the ongoing violence between government and militia forces against non-Arab rebel groups and civilians.
iam here with some voices of the unheard around the world , these people undergone worst abuse and violent attacks in the history of mankind , even the mainstream media doesnt want you to discuss about it
The Gaza–Israel conflict is an ongoing part of the larger Israel-Palestine conflict. The Gaza Strip has been separated from Israel by a barrier since 1996. In 2014, Israel launched Operation Protective Edge against Hamas militants in Gaza following an increase in rocket attacks. Over 1,300 Israeli attacks and 800 Palestinian rocket attacks occurred. Egypt proposed a ceasefire but Hamas and other Palestinian factions rejected it. The conflict resulted in over 800 Palestinian and 34 Israeli deaths as well as widespread damage in Gaza.
Armed groups, the 'Sudan Liberation Army' (SLA) and 'Justice and Equality Movement' (JEM), began the war. Reasons are cited as lack of economic development which demands a greater share of country’s resources and exclusion from the political administration of Khartoum.
Attacks on towns, government establishments and civilians in Darfur resulted in the deaths of hundreds of policemen and civilians and the breakdown of law and order in Darfur. An area where inhabitants depend on natural resources the severe impact of the continuing climatic changes and droughts on accessibility to land and water has a detrimental effect on the livelihood in Darfur as well as the rest of Sudan.
The ongoing conflict in Darfur began in 2003 and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. The government has supported Arab militias like the Janjaweed in fighting rebel groups, resulting in accusations of genocide. International organizations have attempted to negotiate peace while also pushing for prosecution of officials for war crimes, though violence continues. In 2008, the president declared a ceasefire after coming under pressure from arrest warrants, but stability has yet to be achieved.
Israel has undergone significant changes since its founding. It has transformed barren desert landscapes into fertile farmland through extensive irrigation projects. However, this intensive agriculture has strained Israel's limited water supplies. Economically, Israel has developed high-tech and services industries to support its growing population. Culturally, Israel remains a diverse society with Jewish and Arab populations that have different backgrounds and political views, creating ongoing tensions. A major ongoing challenge is establishing a lasting peace with Palestinians and neighboring Arab states over issues like Palestinian refugees and Israeli settlements. Peace talks have continued for decades but achieving a final agreement has proved elusive.
The conflict in Darfur began in 2003 when two non-Arab rebel groups took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government to protest mistreatment. This led the government to carry out aerial bombings and arm Arab militias called the Janjaweed to attack non-Arab villages. Over 200,000 people have been killed so far and over 1.5 million displaced from their homes as the government and Janjaweed use scorched earth tactics, causing starvation, disease and violence. The UN and US provide most of the humanitarian aid but more action is still needed to address the ongoing crisis.
Powerpoint presentation by Karen Hirschfeld, Sudan Coordinator, Physicians for Human Rights. Includes background on the conflict, PHR's findings concerning genocide, information on sexual violence, life in IDP camps, and policy recommendations.
The document discusses two cases of genocide: the Holocaust and the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan. It notes that both involved the systematic killing and displacement of large groups of civilians by their own governments and armed militias. While the methods and death tolls differed, in both cases extremist groups targeted populations for destruction and needed help from others to carry out mass murder. The document questions what more can be done to seek justice for victims and prevent future genocides when the world fails to intervene to stop such atrocities.
The document summarizes the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. It began in 2003 as ethnic tensions rose between Arab groups favored by the government and non-Arab black African groups. Over 2 million people have been displaced and as many as 400,000 lives have been lost as government forces and Janjaweed Arab militias target civilian villages. Despite actions by the UN and African Union, the humanitarian crisis continues due to a lack of political will from the international community to address the root causes of the conflict.
The document provides historical background on Israel from antiquity to modern Zionism and the establishment of Israel in 1948. It discusses the Zionist movement, the Arab-Jewish conflict, underground armies in Mandate Palestine, the UN partition plan, Israel's war of independence and founding as a state in 1948. It also covers the creation of Palestinian refugees, responses to Israel's founding, refugee definitions, and debates around the topic. The document suggests that anti-Israel sentiment is rising due to some providing only a partial picture of the complex issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict arose from competing claims to the land of Palestine by Jewish and Arab groups in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. This led to violence between the groups under British rule. In 1947, the UN proposed dividing the land between Jewish and Arab states, but Arab leaders rejected it and war broke out in 1948. Israel gained control of additional land while the West Bank and Gaza came under Jordanian/Egyptian control. Subsequent wars in 1967 and 1973 further shaped the dispute over borders and settlements. Peace negotiations began in the 1990s but ultimately failed to resolve core issues like borders, refugees, and Jerusalem. The conflict remains ongoing today between Israel and Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and Gaza.
This document summarizes and analyzes an article about the failure of the 2000 Camp David peace talks between Israel and Palestinians. It argues that Palestinians felt deceived by an Israeli "PR exercise" and smoke-and-mirror tactics. Since then, aid to Palestinians carries restrictions and the peace process is seen as just a "circus." Lack of resolution and continued Israeli settlement expansion has led to distrust in the international community and ongoing conflict.
The document provides an overview of Israel, including its demographics, socio-cultural aspects, legal/bureaucratic environment, and economic climate. It notes that Israel has a population of over 6 million Jews and over 1.5 million Arabs. Culturally, Israel contains a diverse, multi-ethnic society with Jews and Arabs maintaining their unique identities. Israel has a parliamentary legal system based on western principles with courts that oversee civil, criminal, military, and religious matters. Economically, Israel is a leader in new technologies and partnerships with countries like India.
The document provides information about Kurdish demographics, history, culture, food, dress, holidays, and religion. It notes that there are between 30-35 million Kurds worldwide, with over half living in Turkey. The Kurdish culture can be traced back 8,000 years to Mesopotamia. Traditional Kurdish food includes lamb, rice, meat and vegetable pies, and salads. Women traditionally wear long, colorful dresses and headscarves while men wear baggy trousers. Major holidays include the spring celebration of Noruz lasting 13 days and religious holidays such as Ramadan and Christmas. The majority religion is Sunni Muslim.
This document discusses contemporary global issues related to conflict, cooperation, and security. It addresses topics such as global tensions and conflicts that arise from ethnic, religious, territorial, and nationalist differences. Examples provided include the Israel-Palestine conflict, tensions in Northern Ireland, and territorial disputes in Kashmir. The document also examines issues of mass extermination that have occurred in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur due to factors like political ideology, ethnic and power struggles, and racism. It outlines approaches to addressing these problems through United Nations involvement in peacekeeping, democratization efforts, and international human rights frameworks. The roles of governments, public exposure, and charitable organizations are also discussed. The document closes by mentioning the tactics of terrorism
1. The document provides fast facts about Israel, including that the two main languages are Hebrew and Arabic, the population is 7.28 million, and the country has only been independent since 1948.
2. It offers guidance on understanding Israeli social customs, such as that Israelis are direct in their communication and discussing personal finances openly is common. Handshakes are used for greetings and hostess gifts are expected for home invitations.
3. Religious and business norms are also covered, noting most Israelis are Jewish and influence norms. Pork is prohibited in the Jewish religion and gifts are expected in business transactions.
The Israeli education system faces challenges in integrating large influxes of immigrants from over 70 countries since 1948. It has developed special programs to teach Hebrew, Jewish history and train teachers for immigrant students. The government funds most schools, with higher expenditures on education than most OECD countries. The system includes state schools (majority), state-religious schools, Arab schools, independent religious schools and private schools. Enrollment has greatly increased since the 1950s. Higher education plays a key role in Israel's development, with over half of youth attending university. However, Arab students face resource gaps compared to Jewish students.

This document provides an overview of Israel and an Israeli aerospace company, Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI). It begins with quick facts about Israel's geography, history, people, and cities. It then discusses a cultural metaphor comparing Israelis to prickly yet sweet cacti. The document examines IAI's vision, mission, divisions, commercial performance, code of conduct, environmental policy, partners/customers, and organizational culture which values innovation, treating people as assets, and has a flat power structure. IAI is a globally recognized leader in developing advanced military and commercial aerospace technology.
After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land. With God's help, they were able to cross the Jordan River after the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant entered the river and its waters parted. Joshua then led the Israelites to capture the walled city of Jericho by marching around it for seven days, and on the seventh day the walls fell after priests blew trumpets and people shouted. Further battles ensued as the Israelites worked to conquer the land over six years, dividing it among the twelve tribes with God's assistance.
Modern aims of education in the philippinesAlvin Dionson
The document discusses the aims and goals of modern education in the Philippines. It provides context on progressive education and its focus on individual needs and informal curriculum. It then discusses several specific aims of modern Philippine education, including developing students physically, mentally, and spiritually, with emphasis on social transformation and preparing citizens. Additional goals mentioned include preparing students for an increasingly globalized and technical world through reorienting the educational system. Specific programs discussed to modernize schools include computerization, library upgrades, distance learning, and improving science laboratories. The K-12 education program in the Philippines is also summarized, with its goals being to improve educational standards, equip students for work or further education, address shortages in schools, and develop 21st century
Israel has one of the most educated populations in the world. Education is compulsory through high school and nearly half of Israelis have a college degree. The Israeli government subsidizes 10% of its national budget for education, providing 78% of school operating budgets. There are many types of schools in Israel including state, religious, private, and international, with most children attending state schools and some integrated Jewish-Arab schools beginning in 2010.
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.
'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.

The document discusses the UN Partition Plan of 1947 which proposed dividing Mandatory Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, however Jews accepted the plan while Arabs rejected it, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It then provides context around the war and its aftermath, including the creation of over 700,000 Palestinian refugees and how the conflict fueled tensions in the region for decades.
1) In the late 19th century, the population of Palestine was overwhelmingly Arab, with Jews making up only about 3% of the population. British policies in the early 20th century increased Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine.
2) The UN partition plan of 1947 gave 56% of the land to Jews despite them comprising only one third of the population, fueling Arab opposition. Israel declared statehood in 1948 through superior military organization and the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
3) From 1967 onward, Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza, displacing hundreds of thousands more Palestinians and imposing restrictions on the Palestinian population. Peace efforts since the 1990s have failed to establish a viable Palestinian state.
This document provides a historical overview of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the 19th century to present day. It describes how Jewish immigration to Palestine increased in the late 1800s due to antisemitism in Europe. After World War 1, Britain agreed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, contradicting the wishes of the indigenous Palestinian population. Violence increased throughout the 1920s-1940s as Palestinians resisted Zionist settlement and control over their land. The UN partition of 1947 led to war and the mass displacement of Palestinians known as the Nakba. Ongoing issues include illegal Israeli settlements, the blockade of Gaza, and denial of Palestinian rights and self-determination.

The UN partition of 1947 led to war and the mass displacement of Palestinians known as the Nakba. Ongoing occupation and Palestinian resistance movements like the Intifadas are also summarized.
The document discusses the 60th anniversary of the Nakba, or catastrophe, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Palestinians becoming refugees after the establishment of Israel in 1948; it describes the ongoing Israeli occupation and siege of Palestinian territories, including incursions in Gaza that have killed civilians, including children; and it provides updates on other issues affecting Palestinians such as restrictions on movement, home demolitions, and poor economic and living conditions under the Israeli blockade.
This document provides an overview of Judaism and key topics related to Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a Jewish perspective. It discusses Jewish beliefs about Israel, important historical figures and events, the religious and political justifications for war in Judaism, challenges to a two-state solution, and public opinion polls showing support among Israelis and Palestinians for a two-state agreement. It aims to concisely summarize the key people, places, events, challenges and potential resolutions related to the conflict from a Jewish and religious viewpoint.
This document provides background information on the Israel-Palestine conflict from conflicting perspectives. It describes key events like the 1947 UN partition, 1948 Arab invasion of Israel, 1967 Six-Day War, Oslo Accords, and the latest attack by Hamas in October 2023. It outlines the Jewish narrative of establishing Israel as a homeland after persecution and Arab attacks versus the Palestinian narrative of being displaced from their ancestral lands by European settlers. Ongoing issues include Hamas vowing to continue attacks until Israel no longer exists and uncertainty around a ceasefire or ruling Gaza.
1. Early Zionists knew a Jewish state would displace Arabs but had no plan to expel them as they themselves had been refugees.
2. As fighting broke out in 1947-1948, upper and middle class Arabs fled cities, causing working class Arabs to panic.
3. Subsequent defeats of Arab militias by the IDF led to widespread panic and abandonment of villages.
4. Ben Gurion later ordered some expulsions of hostile villages to secure lines of communication and prevent return of refugees. Offers were made to allow return of some refugees but rejected by Arab leaders.
The document summarizes the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. It provides background on the Jewish and Palestinian narratives surrounding claims to the land. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched over 5,000 rockets into Israel, killed 1,200 civilians, and took 239 hostages in Gaza. Israel responded by bombing Hamas and invading Gaza to remove Hamas and rescue the hostages. There are calls for a ceasefire, but Hamas has vowed to continue attacking Israel until it no longer exists. The future of the conflict and governance of Gaza remain uncertain.
Peter Larson visited Israel and Palestine in October-November 2009 to see the situation on the ground and determine if Israel could be considered an apartheid state. He met with over 30 organizations and individuals, and visited Jerusalem, the West Bank, Israel, and Bedouin villages in the Negev desert. In Jerusalem, he observed Israeli settlements, the separation barrier, disparities in services between east and west Jerusalem, and the demolition of Palestinian homes. In the West Bank, he saw refugee camps, Israeli control of land and resources, and Jewish settlements. Inside Israel, he noted the struggles of Palestinian citizens and Bedouin communities. His main conclusion was that Palestine continues to disappear as Israel's decades-long campaign to take over the

Palestinian Declaration of Independence
1) After a half century of bitter warfare between Palestinians and Israelis can the Palestinian declaration of independence be reconciled with the state of Israel’s concern about national security ? can the two people ever find way to live in peace?
The main problem with a Palestinian declaration of independence is the fact that the Palestinians still suffering from suffered of oppressed, constrained. Bother of Jewish and Muslim still keep feeling of feud for each other, they teach their children history and religion how each one became enemy for each other. Palestinian people feel as some one who took their home and land and started to control them as people came from another country. This issue still one of complex issues challenge the destiny of Palestinian and Jewish people. If the Palestinians unilaterally declare independence then the danger to them is that Israel could recognize it without recognizing their borders and every Palestinian attack could be rightly considered an act of war. This is why both Gaza and the PA claim there is an occupation since claiming that and having that claim supported by the world restrains Israel from acting like they are in a state of war even if Israelis think they are in a state of war.
2) In declaration of independence, the Palestinian national council “ calls upon the united nations to bear special responsibility for the Palestinian Arab people and it’s homeland “ do you believe that the UN should “ bear a special responsibility “ for ensuring the security of a Palestinian state? How should the UN exercise this responsibility ?
Yes I do, I believe that US plays important role toward this issue. United Nations can bear special responsibility for the Palestinian Arab people and its homeland. U.S plays important roles to assist it in the attainment of its objectives, to provide it with security, to alleviate the tragedy of its people, and to help to terminate Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.
Declaration of Israel's Independence
1) Can the historic and religious ties of the Jewish people to Israel accommodate the fact that for nearly two thousand years Israel was also the dwelling place of Arabs and other non-Jewish population?
In fact, Jews today try justify their occupation of Palestine on the basis of religious and historical allegations and seek to persuade the world by these allegations. They claim that the god –Allaah- promised them that this is your land and point to their historical connection with it by virtue of their rule over it for a period of time, their presence in the area, their psychological and spiritual attachment to it, and its sacredness to them. We believe that the Jews have their religious freedom, and no one has the right to force them to change their beliefs; however, they have no right to oblige others to accept their belief. Besides, they are not entitled to displace a peopl ...
The document presents two opposing narratives of the history of Israel/Palestine:
1) The Israeli narrative argues that Jews have historical and religious ties to the land dating back thousands of years. It views the establishment of Israel as a necessity after the Holocaust and Arab rejection of the UN partition plan led to war.
2) The Palestinian narrative argues that Arabs have lived in the region for far longer and Jews were a small minority until recent immigration. It views the establishment of Israel as illegitimate and involving ethnic cleansing and oppression of Palestinians.
Both sides claim historical and moral justification for their claims to the land, but ultimately present two very different interpretations of the events that led to the current conflict.
Six Day War
Palestine Mandate
Camp David Accords
Palestine Liberation Organization
Intifada
Oslo Accords
Palestinian Authority
Salt March
Amritsar Massacre
Civil Disobedience
Muslim League
The document summarizes the Israel-Palestine conflict from the 1850s to present day. It discusses key events like the rise of Zionism in the late 19th century, the Balfour Declaration, violence in the 1920s-1930s, the establishment of Israel in 1948 which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, ongoing conflicts and uprisings, and peace efforts including the Oslo Accords. Casualty figures are also provided showing the significantly higher number of Palestinian deaths compared to Israeli deaths over the period from 1920 to 2012. Major ongoing issues in dispute are also listed.
The document provides background information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from different perspectives. It discusses the creation of Israel in 1948 and the war that followed, as well as subsequent wars and peace efforts over subsequent decades. Key events covered include the 1967 war where Israel gained additional territory, the Camp David Accords where Egypt and Israel made peace, and the two Intifadas where Palestinians rebelled against Israeli occupation. Ongoing issues preventing a two-state solution include disputes over Jerusalem, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and Israel's security barrier. The document aims to present both Israeli and Palestinian viewpoints on these historical events and current issues.
The document provides background information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through excerpts from the book "The Lemon Tree" and descriptions of key events from the early 1900s to present day. It includes perspectives from both Israelis and Palestinians on issues like claims to the land, wars and peace efforts. Students reflect on how they would feel in different situations and complete assignments intended to help them understand multiple viewpoints.
The document summarizes the long history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, beginning in the 19th century with the rise of Jewish Zionism and Arab nationalism in Palestine under declining Ottoman rule. It discusses the British mandate over Palestine after World War I and the tensions that led to the creation of Israel and displacement of Palestinians in 1948. Subsequent wars between Israel and neighboring Arab states are outlined. The document also covers Palestinian resistance movements, peace efforts like the Oslo Accords, ongoing issues like Israeli settlements, and the complex situation in Gaza.

The document discusses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and why Israel is worried about it. It originated in 2005 from a call by Palestinian civil society for boycotts, divestment and sanctions. The BDS movement has three demands: ending Israel's occupation, recognizing Palestinian rights in Israel, and respecting the right of return for refugees. While initially derided, the BDS movement has grown and led some companies and organizations to withdraw support from Israel. Israel has passed laws against boycotts and lobbies other countries to do the same, showing that BDS is effectively pressuring Israel.
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.

17. Suffocating Gaza – The Israeli blockade’s effect on
Palestinians
Israel's military blockade of Gaza has left more than 1.4 million Palestinian men, women
and children trapped in the Gaza Strip, an area of land just 40 kilometers long.
Mass unemployment, extreme poverty and food price rises caused by shortages have left
four in five Gazans dependent on humanitarian aid. As a form of collective punishment,
Israel’s continuing blockade of Gaza is a flagrant violation of international law
18.
19. 03 September 2014
“Palestinian economic deterioration, which is largely rooted in the territory's
occupied status, has resulted in weak growth, a precarious fiscal position, forced
dependence on the Israeli economy, mass unemployment, wider and deeper
poverty, and greater food insecurity.”
NOTE: This report prepared before Operation Protective Edge
20. Trying to get out
65 years of fruitless negotiations
2006 Hamas elected
• Hamas elected (76 of 132 members).
• Hamas leaders in Gaza not allowed to
come to Ramallah
• Israel cut off relations, starts complete
blockade
• Economic conditions in Gaza deteriorate
rapidly
• Their issues completely ignored in “Peace
negotiations”
Hamas program
• Dig tunnels to get out and get goods in
• Send rockets into Israel
• Israel responds:
• Operation Pillar of Cloud
• Operation Cast Lead
• Operation Protective Edge
21. “Protective
edge”
Israeli attacks on Gaza
focused on refugee
camps
This was also true in
• Operation Cast Lead
• Operation Pillar of
Cloud
22.
23. Where are the Palestinian refugees?
• There are 5 million Palestinian
refugees
• Their right to return is supported by
international law (and fairness)
• But they are mostly distributed in 58
UN refugee camps in 3 different
countries (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan)
• They are not an effective
political/military force
• Israel hopes that they will
“eventually’ be absorbed into their
“host” countries
24. Why is Gaza special?
Gaza is the biggest concentration of refugees (over 1 million) and they are still on
Palestinian soil.
They have no place to go… but back home
But Israel doesn’t want to allow them to return
Because they are not Jewish and if they return Israel will no longer be a “Jewish
State”
This is an existential threat to
The Israel as a Jewish State
25. What are Israel’s options?
1. Exterminate the Palestinians in Gaza
2. Drive them out of Gaza
Militarily – by killing leadership
Economically - make Gaza unliveable
Diplomatically – by moving their refugee camps to Egypt
3. Say “sorry” and begin a process of truth and reconciliation
26. Until the refugees are
accommodated,
exterminated or
dispersed, Israel will have
a big problem on its
hands
27. Conclusion
• Gaza is an “existential threat” to the Jewish State of Israel
• The threat lies in the 1 million Gazan refugees who want to return but can’t because
they are not Jewish
• The refugee camps in Gaza are the “flip side” of the “ethnically cleansed” State of
Israel
• Until this is resolved, the refugees in Gaza will continue to resist, and Israel will be
obliged to continue to bomb and attack them.
• Canadian values of fairness and human rights should impel us to push Israel towards a
process of truth and reconciliation
