There has been conflict between Israel and Palestine for many years. In 1947, Palestine was under British rule. It was planned that they would be split into Arab and Jewish states. Jewish leaders accepted this plan and they were given 56% of the land. The Arabs rejected this plan and were not in favor of it.
In 1948, Israel was proclaimed a state by David Ben-Gurion. It was one day before the scheduled end of British rile. It was then meant to be a safe spot for the Jews who were fleeing persecution. The violence between Arabs and Jews had been intensifying, one day after Israel was created, there were troops from five Arab states that attacked. A war followed and around 700,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes or fled in fear.
Armistice agreements forced the fighting to stop in 1949 but the peace was never there between Israel and Palestine.Some Palestinians stayed during the war and they now make up twenty percent of Israel’s current population. Many wars have been fought between then and now. Currently, there are still rounds of hostility going on between Israel and Hamas. There have also been many attempts to ignite peace between them. As of 2014, the peace efforts stopped. The Biden administration is focused on getting a “grand bargain,” including wanting of a normal relationship.
Do you think more peace efforts should be made?
Do you think the fight is necessary?
How else should they go about this instead of resorting to war?

When you mentioned you had chosen this topic I was a bit concerned as it is a very complicated topic, especially to do so in half a page. Because its so complicated, students probably arent going to reply much as they don't understandf it well enough to form an opinion. I applaud you for attempting it though.

I think they need to make more peace efforts. Fighting isn't necessary at this point especially since their conflict has been going on for such a long time. I feel like within these 97 years that they have had a conflict they could have figured out something else besiddes resorting to war.
I think more peace efforts should be made, because I feel that this way they hardly open as many wars or fight.
I definitely think that more peace efforts should be made, because at the end of the day your race, ethnicity, and religion should not affect how you are treated. They probably should have found a better way of solving their problems, like talking it out, instead of resorting to war.
I believe that everyone deserves peace no matter where they are from because in the end they cant can control where they are from. I believe that they should fight for what they think is right and if they want to fight over the land then they should I do think that it needs to end soon though.
I agree, everyone deserves peace.
