Looking back over the past 25 years, what has been the main obstacle standing in the way of peace between Israel and the Palestinians?
Israel has dependably been willing to trade off and each Israeli government including the present one has been set up to make significant penances for peace. Israel has made major concessions, gave up some land, withdrawn forces and even removed military bases to make peace. Be that as it may, peacemaking requires agreements on the two sides. Israel has attempted to recognize the rights and interests of the Palestinians. However, Israel has rights and interests that should be recognized and tended to. Peace must be accomplished through both parties bridging differences and resolving any issue for the sake of the future.
Looking back to this whole conflict, I feel like there were a few obstacles standing in the way of peace between Israel and Palestine. I feel like the main one was the refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. The U.N. stepped in 1947 to divide the Palestinian Mandate territory into a Jewish state and an Arab State but unfortunately this was rejected by the Arab …show more content…

Palestine view is “no” to partition, “no” to a Jewish state, and “no” to a Jewish presence in what they consider an Arab land. The Palestinians time and time again missed opportunities to achieve their national aspirations by greed, and hatred. In 1993 we saw a glimpse of peace between Israel and Palestine when they have the Declaration of Principles. In these terms, Palestinians promised to recognize Israel and stop terrorism and Israel in turn would establish a Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, and Gaza. Israel also agreed to more concessions and transferred substantial powers and responsibilities to the Palestinians in various geographical

    Israel also is not lacking in terms of authority or expertise on this topic either. Israel seems to know what he’s talking about and knows where and when to give credit. Even after all it is taking to get something done he still doesn’t give up on what he believes in. Israel keeps trying to get what he wants done with gun laws even though it is taking forever and is a slow process, he never gives up. Eventually if he keeps on trying Israel will get his wish on gun laws.

    While in the White House, President Truman was said to have been barraged with supporters of a Jewish state persuading and pressuring him to go in favor of the making of Israel. At the time, many countries including America did not want Jewish people living in their country. A couple were jealous of the success they were having on business. Even though many of us do not want to admit it, a lot of people know that the U.S. had a dark history of anti-semitism. Many Jews had wanted to come into the United States, but they were not allowed in because of the U.S. immigration quotas and even voted against letting Jews in America.

    I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the “striped-pants boys” - the State Department (Truman, 1965). Clearly he did not agree with what his administration wanted to do. Truman would have been happy if the UN would solve the conflict, but that was not tangible. The UN was newly formed, but more importantly, no significant proposal could get past the General Assembly or the Security Council with American support.

    The Holocaust was nothing short of mass genocide an entire culture just because they didn’t fit in with a government “vision”, which made them easy scapegoats for the Nazi Regime for problems that came to Germany after the First World War. So when the Holocaust started, many refuges evacuated Germany and parts of Europe for places such as Palestinian, which was once apart of their homeland. But when the new people there, the Arabians, would limit or even try and stop them from getting in, it created a heavy tension that has lasted to this day.

    Israel gained its territory in wars but a big part of it was from the six-day war in 1967 where Israel conquered the east bank including Jerusalem from Jordan, Gaza strip and Sinai from Egypt (after a few years they gave it back to Egypt in order to have peace), and the Golan Heights from Syria (HISTORY: The State of Israel). The idea of a Jewish country was formed a long time before the Holocaust happened, due to the Holocaust the U.N, which made the decision of creating the country, agreed to the idea because of the discrimination of Jews. As a result, they thought that they deserved a country of their own. Since Israel was formed it participated in seven wars and two Intifadas.

And that is the fundamental conflict.” (Shlaim, 2001, p. 18) For both Israelis and Palestinians it is nationalist conflict, there is a clear reason in the action of both parties, a territorially secure state. Yet, both Israel and Hamas seem to accept that negotiation is the eventual end through which to meet their nationalist ends (Hroub, 2006; Shlaim, 2001).
