Abstract
The paper demonstrates the culpability of Palestinian educators in creating a climate that is intolerant, contemptuous of civil debate and which openly seeks the destruction of the Jewish state. The paper discusses what can be done to change the course of Palestinian education. The paper concludes that if Palestine can be prevailed upon to produce textbooks emphasizing basic numeracy and literacy instead of revenge, there is hope that the future of the Middle East can be less bloody than its past.
From the Paper
"To begin with, it is worth noting that Palestinians have been using Jordanian and Egyptian curricula and textbooks since the early 1950s. In light of the fact that Egypt has been a pretty virulent enemy of Israel for decades, it may be said that someone else's hatred not only found its way into Palestinian textbooks but actually complemented and amplified the antipathy Palestinians already felt towards Israel. In any case, Dr. Sami Adwan of Bethlehem University also writes that the aforementioned textbooks were subject to "complete censorship" by the Israeli military governor in the years between 1967 and 1993. Even when this state of affairs was modified in the 1990s, Adwan - who is Palestinian - writes that the Israelis continue to restrict the freedom of Palestinian students and teachers to move where they wish - and that the production of a new wave of Palestinian textbooks since the dawn of this decade has been done against a backdrop of violence and hopelessness."

From the Paper
"As violence escalates in Palestine, the intractable problem becomes even more intractable. Intense fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the most intense inside the borders of the former Palestine since Israel?s creation in 1948, are claiming a daily toll in double digits. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon?s increasingly tough tactics are exacerbating the conflict. A war of attrition is going on that has the potential to escalate into an all out regional war."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and the idea that Israel took the Palestinians land and made them into second class citizens.
From the Paper
"The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is decades old. It can be traced to two wars that were fought in 1948 and 1967. According to Harald Frederiksen, At the end of the 1948-49 war, 750,000 Arabs were driven from the urban areas and the lands within Israel that they owned, a majority of the land comprising Israel (Frederiksen 73). This meant that many Arabs that had been living in the area now known as Israel were forcibly driven out of their cities. In the 1967 war the Israelis made the situation worse by taking over resources."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Palestinian people have met with many instances of discrimination in Israel, leading to their entrapment as a dominated people. It looks at how steps are being taken by the international community and organizations to provide both a state for the Palestinian people, as well as greater rights and power within the current Jewish state.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The economic disparities between the Palestinian Arabs and the Jews evidence a clear discrimination taking place against the Palestinians. Without economic capital, there is little hope for change for the Arabs in Israel especially since their economic disadvantage is cemented in by a lack of representation within the Israeli government. However, over the past several years many Arab nations have been pouring funds into Palestine in support of an independent Palestinian state. Unfortunately, much of this money has gone to the purchase of weapons, the funding of terrorist organizations, and into the pockets of the Palestinian leaders."

Abstract
The following paper discusses four different theories for explaining the entry of the people of Israel into the land of Israel, as seen by Callaway: Military incursion, gradual infiltration, peasant uprising and a composite view.
From the Paper
"In the period c. 1200 BCE, we find the shift from Late Bronze II to Iron I. The presence of iron tools allowed farmers (pioneers) to dig cisterns and engage in terrace-style farming. The book of Joshua argues for the total conquest of the land, by a unified force of Israelites. But, in places (Josh. 9, 13.13) it appears that the conquest was not total. The book of Judges suggests that the land was shared with the Canaanites and then the people attempted to conquer it. In this book, the conquest appears to be incomplete. (Judges 1.19-28, etc.). Archaeological evidence suggests that after 1560 BCE Jericho was no longer occupied."

Abstract
This well-researched paper examines the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, while focusing on the various events that led to the decision to construct a security wall that would separate the two nations. This paper discusses Israel's implementation of "Operation Defensive Wall", which came about in 2002 in response to a suicide bombing in which 28 Israelis were killed by Palestinian terrorists that infiltrated Israel's borders. This in-depth paper analyzes Israel's history from its birth as a state in 1948 to the present as well as the country's continuous battle to survive amidst hostile Arab neighbors such as Syria. The writer of this paper contends that there are various options to maintaining a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians which do not include the security fence. One option would be to offer financial incentives to the Palestinians while another would be for Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders. This paper discusses the pros and cons involved in Israel returning occupied land to the Palestinians in hopes for peace and lasting security.
From the Paper
"Since the end of formal hostilities in 1973, the attacks on Israel from its hostile neighbors have been replaced by shadowy groups that rely more on terror tactics than infantry and tanks. First the PLO, which led to Israel's invasion of Southern Lebenon in 1982 and subsequently Hizbollah, which was formed in 1983, and Hamas in 1988. Both of these groups had, as their stated intention, the murder of every Jew and the destruction of the state of Israel and its allies. It was after twenty years of these terrorist tactics, and the lives of hundreds of innocent Israelis, that Israel began to consider building a fence around its borders. It would be almost another ten years before it finally implemented this tactic. Israel's decision to build a wall separating itself from external threats has become a controversial one. Seen within Israel as the best chance to reduce or eliminate terrorism, and solidify the border between the Jewish state and the Palestinian state, it is viewed by much of the outside world as a symbol of oppression."

Abstract
This paper argues that to understand the suggested two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, one must first understand the origins of the conflict. An overview of the history is presented from the Palestinian viewpoint. Conditions that the Palestinians side deems necessary for a two-state solution are presented in a list format. The author concludes that the greatest impediment to the two-state solution, however, is trust on both sides.
From the Paper
" In essence the various political events in the region over the past century have created two separate and opposing realities or "narratives". The first is the Israeli narrative of the horror of the Holocaust, coupled with claims to the Holy lands which are seen as being ordained by God to the Jewish people. This has resulted in the occupation of Palestine and the violence, demolition of houses etc. More importantly it leads to what is perceived as the denial of Palestinian autonomy and a reduction of a sense of dignity and the very right to their narrative or political history."

Children's Textbooks, 2006.
A discussion regarding the bias apparent in children's textbooks.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at children's textbooks and the issue of stereotyping. The paper focuses primarily on gender issues. According to the paper, a more fundamental reanalysis of what American history really is must be embarked upon, and until then teachers must strive to supplement textbook knowledge with outside learning and interpretive activities if they want to provide a fuller picture of past and present human life to students.
From the Paper
"The series also tries to show boys and girls from the past engaging in efforts like chopping wood, hauling water, traveling by train, and doing daily chores to help their families. This is realistic in the sense that it accurately depicts the hard life of persons alive in America many years ago, does not misrepresent the roles of the genders, yet also pays tribute to the labors of women and girls in a way that is meaningful and relatable to all children. All children have to do chores, and all children travel, and this is a way to bring history alive to both girls and boys without suggesting that one gender labored or engaged in exploration more than the other gender. The clothing of the children is historically accurate, but girls are not only seen as objects of admiration. Famous figures of the past of different genders are both given respect and attention. There is a stress upon transportation regarding America's past, though, that might, depending on the viewpoint of the educator, seem to tip the balance of 'typical' interests of boys and girls in favor of male-oriented pursuits."

Abstract
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the most divisive contests in the history of the Middle East. Unfortunately, Israel has been a hub of violence since its inception in 1948. This paper examines the history of the conflict and debates how best to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Outline
Israel Should Withdraw from Palestinian Territories
Israel Must Reoccupy Palestinian Territories
Creating a Palestinian State Could Resolve the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
Creating a Palestinian State Would Not Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Palestinians Must Fight for Equal Rights
Palestinians Must Reject Terrorism as a Weapon of War
Economic Development Can Facilitate Peace Between Israelis and Palestinians
From the Paper
"President George W. Bush has referred to the "legitimate aspirations" of the Palestinian people for an independent state. But people who embrace suicide bombings and choose career killers as their leaders--as the Palestinians have done--have no legitimate political aspirations. Writer William F. Buckley, for all of his many faults, is credited with a turn of phrase that eloquently captures this fact. Speaking about an African country's desire for independence, he quipped, "They'll be ready for democracy when they stop eating each other." Although he was referring to the practice of literal cannibalism, the same thing applies metaphorically to the Palestinians. They can be trusted with a representative government only when they stop worshipping murderers."

Abstract
The writer compares the Israeli economy with the macroeconomic model pertaining to the circular flow of money through the economy, observing that the contraction occurring among the main economic actors (households and business sector) is not being reflected in the conduct of the Israeli government. The paper argues that the government is forced to maintain its level of military expenditure to counter the increasing level of violence the war is generating. With Israel?s contribution to the international export markets evaporating combined with decreasing business sentiment and consumer confidence, not to mention increasing dependence on the U.S. for foreign aid, the future of Israel?s economic health does not bode well. The paper also argues that Israel needs to establish true peace before it can hope to overcome its economic recession.
From the Paper
"Israel is an economy that has previously defied economic forecasts. Up until recently, its economy did not comply with the normal prerequisites for success. However, with the escalating presence of its war of attrition with Palestine, the factors that were once driving its economic growth and defying its detractors, is now slowly being eroded by its increasing commitment to fighting Palestine. This paper endeavors to explore the factors that once drove Israel?s economic growth and the aspects of the Israel-Palestinian war that are now hampering Israel?s economic health. By comparing the case of Israel to standard macroeconomic models, one can observe the unique case posed by Israel?s economy."

U.S. Aid to Israel, 2002.

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of aid provided by the United States to Israel with a pro-Palestinian bias. It discusses how, while the rest of the world strongly condemns Israel?s occupation of the Palestinian Territories, the U.S. government provides the political, diplomatic and material means for the occupation to continue at the tax payer's expense. It evaluates how this is causing the rise in hatred towards the U.S. calling for extra suspicion and caution and shows how hate can leave the most powerful country in the world the most vulnerable after the tragedy of September 11.
From the Paper
"Then why does the United States forego its ethical values and support Israel? One reason is simple; the U.S. relies on Israel to test out new military technologies in battle conditions. Israel has cooperated with the US arms industry on research and development for new jet fighters, anti-missile defense systems, and even the Strategic Defense Initiative. The U.S. also requires Israel to use 75 percent of all the military aid it receives to buy U.S.-made arms. This means profit for us, and Israel?s military dominance in the region, in a region already buried in hate and violence. It produces threat for whole the Middle East through its nuclear capacities, but no country in the world other than the U.S. can use this as an excuse to take over the other- such the case with the ongoing Iraq war plans."

Abstract
A paper which discusses the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and the urgent need for intervention by a third party due to the mistrust between the leaders of both sides. The paper shows that the true victims of this conflict are the innocent populations who are harmed because Arafat and Sharon cannot reach an agreement.
From the Paper
"BBC reporter Kathryn Westcott reports a chilling trend among young teens who emulate their elders and perform suicide bombings. The military action in the West Bank has had the effect that 600,000 children have been unable to attend school. Television propaganda enrages the children and they are now beginning to take part in the violence. We must remember that children learn more by our actions than our words and we can only blame ourselves when a 14-year-old runs into a crowded mall of other school children and pulls the pin on the grenade. Some so-called ?Freedom Fighters? are even recruiting children to do their dirty work."

Israel and How the Middle East Was Won, 2006.
A critique of the existence of Israel.
2,800 words (approx. 11.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 134.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is highly critical of the existence of Israel, claiming it has destroyed the Middle East. The author traces the early Zionist movement and the history of the Israel, while consistently denying the legitimacy of a Jewish homeland. The paper invokes well-known anti-Israel sources to support its thesis. The paper also challenges what he describes as myths about the development and existence of Israel. For instance, the author claims it is disingenuous to refer to Israel's War of Independence, when she was attacked by the entire Arab world, as a David and Goliath battle. He states that Israel "knew what they were up against and it was not much..." After critiquing Israel's actions in various wars against Arab countries, the author turns to international support for Israel. He is critical, in particular, of the United States' "blind" support for the Jewish state. The paper concludes by examining Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, asking why a nation that had suffered in the Holocaust would 'turn around and do the same thing to someone else.'
From the Paper
""The Zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Arab-Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history" (Shabazz 1). Omowale 'Malcolm X' Shabazz, an activist for Arab-Palestine, gave that statement in one of his articles arguing the Zionist movement. Malcolm X argued the basis of Israeli occupation is on the religious claim there forefathers lived there a thousand years ago. But he goes on to say that the Moors occupied Spain a thousand years ago, would this then give them a legal right to invade the Iberian Peninsula? The Zionist movement consisted of a revival of a Jewish nation state in an area known as Palestine. The Israeli invasion, however, has brought upon more turmoil and unrest than good. The development of an Israeli state has had an ill-fated effect on the inhabitants of all races and religions in the Middle East."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of the State of Israel since its establishment in 1948 and the tensions it has since created in the Middle East. It examines the causes of conflict such as the division of Jerusalem by the U.N in 1949 and looks at the different Arab groups that have since formed for the purpose of countering Israeli actions and push for the destruction of the State of Israel. It recounts the main events leading up to and during the regional wars of 1956 and 1967 and the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
From the Paper
"It was during this period that different Arab groups formed for the purpose of countering Israeli actions and to push for the destruction of the state of Israel. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed in 1965 (Herzog 146-147). The groundwork had been laid in 1964 at the first Arab summit meeting to give the Palestinians an organization of their own, but in fact the emerging organization was under the control of Egypt. Egyptian President Gamel Abdel Nasser kept the organization away from guerrilla actions against Israel because he, more than any other Arab leader, had reason to respect Israel's power after his experience in 1956. There was support for his position--a secret study commissioned during the 1964 Arab summit showed that it would take the Arabs at least until 1969 to reach a level of military strength equal to that of Israel (Herzog 147). The Palestinians were not happy at having to wait for so long to get their land back, and a small group formed under the leadership of Yasser Arafat under the name Fatah."
