Like usual, I speak to my friends in Israel for first hand experiences and information. But with this, I may add, I get new ideas and so progresses my thesis for my paper. I want to address the topic of this marking period: Regional Conflicts. While the last mp is for a resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, I can't but help jump from conflict to resolution. And I have narrowed down what I want to study.
Here I go, 1000 words or less:
I have come to believe the entire conflict is over land and Gd. Like all good hypothesis, I thought the conflict was over resources but proved wrong. However, to prove this I want to stop looking at oil and water, and make these just a blurb for my paper. I want to get in depth into Israel's technology sector (which is the backbone of Israel's economy) and discuss the economic factions in the Middle East. As my dear friend, Ben Crane said, "Jews got short end of stick... we were stuck with the Arabs who didn't get land." And with out land, and with Gd, the conflict will always persist, that is.. until Arabs get economical equality in Eretz Yisrael. Arabs already have all the rights Jews do, and MORE*, but their economic standing leaves them impoverished and set back. We give them technology and roads and houses and schools, land will not be an issue anymore. Their villages and farms will be self-sustaining, their way of life will be preserved and in contrast with extremist philosophies. 90% of terrorists fight because they have nothing to loose and little to gain. With a good standard of living they have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
Opinions?
* the arabs who live in Israel get more rights because they get everything an Israeli Jew does, but does not need to complete service in the Israeli army, which ever Jew (and Druze- on their own request) are required to do.
