Israeli-Palestinian conflict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a simple two-sided conflict with all Israelis (or even all Israeli Jews) sharing one point of view and all Palestinians another. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a part of the greater Arab-Israeli conflict, is an ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians. With the unilateral disengagement plan, the Israeli government's stated intent is to allow Palestinians to create a homeland with minimal Israeli interference while extricating Israel from a situation it believes to be too costly and strategically unsound to maintain over the long run. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Israeli-Palestinian_conflict   (1467 words)

Transatlantic Information Exchange System [TIESWeb] The Israeli construction of the West Bank apartheid wall is clearly a politically motivated maneuver intent on reshaping the West Bank, rendering impossible a viable Palestinian state, and with it any lasting peace through a two state solution. Israeli security officials said yesterday the army would relax its West Bank blockade to bolster Ahmed Qurei, the Palestinian prime minister, in a power struggle with Yasser Arafat that is delaying US-backed peace moves.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict She is the former director of the Israeli women’s organization Bat Shalom, which works with the Palestinian-run Jerusalem Center for Women to create programs that bring together Israeli and Palestinian women to develop strategies for ending the occupation and to create the conditions for peace.

Choike - Israeli-Palestinian conflict The Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are on the verge of humanitarian catastrophe, largely as the result of extremely harsh security measures imposed by the occupying Israeli forces since the outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000. Israelis have always talked about peace, sung about it, made art and poetry about it as if it is something almost supernatural, some kind of a paradise that they yearn for but that has nothing to do with their everyday reality, and that they have no idea how to create. Palestinian refugees were specifically and intentionally excluded from the international refugee law regime established by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as long as Palestinian refugees continue to receive assistance from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). www.choike.org /nuevo_eng/informes/1450.html   (8019 words)
