Antonia

Hello,

My name is Antonia Momm, I am 10 years old and I was born in germany. My individual topic is about the conflict beetwen israel and palestain. what I have done so far is made my defenition paragraph, I have got may pitures wich I need for my 3 questions that i have alredy done and my Bibliography for the things i youst tolled you about. I still have to plan a meeting with Mr.Bently or Mrs.Rosinger to show one of them what I have done so far....................

...................This is my definition Paragraph, I hope you enjoy it:

A conflict is a argument or disagreement between people, groups or even countries. Many countries in the world have arguments or disagreement going on. People are trying to solve these conflicts by discussing and making agreements that please and are fair to everyone. One serious conflict in the world is between Israel and Palestine.  This conflict has been going on for many years. Today efforts are being made to resolve the conflict between both countries.I wonder why after so many years peace has not been reached. do you?

...................My Three Questions:

Why can’t Israel or Palestine put down their weapons?

 The History of Israel and Palestine people causes them to not be able to put their weapons down.
 * The Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting many years over land
 * There have been many little fights
 * Many men, women and children died in the many wars
 * After the World War II part of Palestine was given two the Jews and became Israel. Befor this, the Muslims and the Christians made 96% of the population. Now more than 78% of the population are Jews.
 * Israel and Palestine do not want to stop fighting because they both want more land and keep what they already have

Why is there a Palestinian wall?


 * The wall is 25 ft feet high, made of concrete slabs, an electric fence, sniper towers and video cameras
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Israelis did not build the wall where they were supposed to on the Green Line (where the UN said their border is) only 14-16 % of the wall is on the green line
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The International court told Israel to give the land, money lost and all they took from the Palestinian back to the them. It has not yet happened.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This wall was not built legally or with permission of both sides
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The wall was built to protect the land that Israel got from the Palestinian attacks
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Israelis started building the wall on the 16, June 2002
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The wall surrounds about 28 Palestinian communities
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The wall surrounds more than 87% of the land shared by Israel and Palestinians, but the UN agreement only gave them 55%
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Palestinians find it bad that the Israelis made a wall because it is showing the Palestinians that the Israelis are trying to criticise or take away their importance

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Hitler and many other bad people hurt the Jews because they disliked them. A few years after World War II the UN decided to give 55% of Israel to the Jews because there was no free space in the world.The Jews wanted to live there because their religion came from there. Now that the Jews have a place to live they want more and more land or need more land because more and more Jews are coming to live in Israel. The Jews now have more than 87% of Israel`s land.They got this land by fighting the Palestinian people. The taking of this extra land is illegal because the land was not theirs to take. Today the only places where the Arabs can live in Israel is in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Although the Arabs have many reasons to find that unfair, the Israelis do not stop fighting because they also think they have the right to this land because their religion and with that religion came the Christians which are not involved nit the conflict comes from Jerusalem which is in Israel.

And now last but not least my bibliography:
