The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Israel declared statehood in 1948, establishing sovereignty over a portion of the territory it considers its historical homeland. In contrast, the Palestinians have struggled for decades to establish a sovereign state of Palestine. Both Israel and the Palestinians covet the same territory. Examine the conflict between these two. Why has it been so intractable? What are the demands of the Israelis? What are the demands of the Palestinians? How have both violence and diplomacy been important in the struggle? What does the future likely hold for the Palestinians?
