motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets. Both sides do commit acts of terrorism for the fact of trying to gain freedom. You can't really practice terrorism your just taught how to do it, anyone can be a terrorist it's just about if your dedicated to do it or not.

How is Terrorism being stopped Do to increased terrorsim in Israel/Palestine

Israel build a huge wall no make sure that terrorist cannot enter the country through ground travel. Many coutnries have tried to stop teh tarrorism between these two countries. After 9/11 the U.S and the U.K came together and made the Anti-Terrorist Coalition which means they are trying to stop terrorism in multiple countries.

What is the point of Terrorism? To Produce widespread fear, Obtain worldwide, national, or local

recognition for their cause by attracting the attention of the media,Harass, weaken, or embarrass government security forces so that the the government overreacts and appears repressive, Steal or extort money and equipment, especially weapons and ammunition vital to the operation of their group, Destroy facilities or disrupt lines of communication in order to create doubt that the government can provide for and protect its citizens, Discourage foreign investments, tourism, or assistance programs that can affect the target country’s economy and support of the government in power, Influence government decisions, legislation, or other critical decisions, Free prisoners, Satisfy vengeance, Turn the tide in a guerrilla war by forcing government security forces to concentrate their efforts in urban areas. This allows the terrorist group to establish itself among the local populace in rural are.

Problems to a peace settlement Suicide bombings directed against Israeli civilians

have been massively condemned, and the Palestinian leadership subjected to relentless diplomatic, economic and military pressure from both Israel and the U.S. to find and arrest the bombers. Global Exchange condemns violence directed against civilians, and we mourn the deaths of all innocents Israelis who have been the victims of bombings, and the much larger number of Palestinian civilians killed by the Israeli military and by settlers.

Israelis leader and how Israel was established

The Israeli president is Shimon Peres

The Israeli prime minister is Binyamin Netanyahu

Established on May 14, 1948

Established as a homeland for the Jewish people after WWII

What is Zionism and Persecution

Zionism is a Jewish national movement of rebirth and renewal in the land of Israel.

Persecution is the constant mistreatment of another individual group.

Relationship This conflict is one of the worlds longest

standing conflicts The Israelis put up a wall to try to keep

the Palestine's out. Most of the middle east countries don’t

like us. We have a good relationship with the

Israel's because we have helped and supported them.

Main points Jerusalem is a holy city to the three major

Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Monotheistic religions, namely they believe that there is only one God and that this God is the origin and source of all that exists, same spiritual beings. Share common ancestors.

Many Jewish people believe that a woman named Rachel wife of Jacob helped the Jewish people come home and become a union, or state 1948.

Spokesmen said the two leaders touched on the central disputes standing in the way of an agreement that would lead to creation of a Palestinian state. Those issues include the eventual borders, the status of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees who fled homes in what is now Israel.

What Israel should do in Jerusalem is very clear. People are saying that the problems in Jerusalem are last on the agenda as the Middle East problems are solved first. They say they must keep fighting. They people of Jerusalem listed four principles they want done about their city…

4 Principles 1. There shall be free access to all the Holy Places

irrespective of nationality and they shall be administered by their adherents.

2. Everything possible shall be done to ensure unhindered development of the Arab way of life in the Arab sections of the city and ensure Muslims and Christians a practical religious, cultural and commercial governance over their own daily lives.

3. Everything possible should be done to ensure equal governmental, municipal and social services in all parts of the city.

4. Continuing efforts should be made to increase cultural, social and economic contacts among the various elements of Jerusalem's population, while preserving the cultural and even the national identity of each group.

Palestinians have been there for thousands of years.

PALESTINIAN LEADER:MAHMOUD ABBAS THE FATAH PARTY.

OBSTACLE:HAMMAS WANTS THE OUTRIGHT

DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.

Peace Plan For our peace plan I think that the only reasonable thing to

do to keep terrorist out would be put a huge wall up kind of like they have already. I think that this wall would have to go all the way around the city mainly because terrorist like to work on the ground. I honestly don’t know if it would work because I haven’t looked into the problem that closely. I actually do think that Palestine and Israeli people would approve because the wall really wouldn’t affect either side or effect communication. Well obviously the surrounding areas would approve because the wall would be inside the country so it wouldn’t affect anyone else around Israel/Palestine. I do think possibly that the wall could be a lasting peace just because it wouldn’t get in any way. Of course there can be doors every so thousand feet so people can go to other places.
