Essay Instructions: Palestinian-Israeli Conflict Proposal Paper
Over the last few weeks we have learned about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has raged on for years. We have learned about the past history, important players in the conflict, key wars, and other conflicts that have rocked the Middle East. One of the points you should have gathered from the information given to you is the complexity of the issue. Both sides seem to have valid and justifiable claims to the land.
This paper is part research and opinion. This is your chance to be a peacemaker for this conflict. I know some of you may say, ?If the real leaders can?t solve this problem, how can I?? One part of this statement is actually correct; the current and past leadership has not been able to solve this problem. However, that doesn?t mean a solution doesn?t exist. That?s why you will put all the information learned over the course of the unit, into a proposal paper. There is no right or wrong answer to this paper. It is an open-ended question. Whatever solution you choose to propose, you MUST back it up with factual information. There IS a solution for this conflict. Many believe that peace will one day be achieved in this conflict as it has in the past in other conflicts. How long will that take? No one knows the answer to that question. One day your own proposal maybe closely linked to the one that is actually presented in a peace agreement.

Essay:
It must contain specific examples that are situated in place and time. To give your reader a sense of the way an institution or phenomenon changes over time, you must include time references (dates, years, or ranges of years).

Be sure that you are directly answering the question; it is not sufficient to relate a lot of information that does not address the question.

Your answers should be based on readings, including any relevant documents from Laqueur and Rubin. You are not permitted to use or cite any sources from the Internet.
Here is more clarification on what is needed for content for topic.
First, keep in mind that the question requires you to make a comparison and to explain why the Zionist movement succeeded by 1949, but the Palestinian national movement failed to establish a state.

You might write a section on the Zionist movement and a second second section on the Palestinian Arab national movement.

Consider the First Aliya, which means the Zionists got an earlier start. The early Zionists were educated and ideologically committed. They tended to be young and mobile. The Zionists sought sponsorship for a strong European power. They tried for German support, but in World War I got British support with the Balfour declaration. Then the document of the Mandate gave Great Britain more commitment to the Zionists and also international support. But note the limits of the British commitment. The second and third aliyas were made up of young, ideological immigrants, who built institutions that late became institutions of the state of Israel. So these included the Labor Zionist movement (later the Labor Party/MAPAI), the assembly of delegates (predecessor to the Knesset) the Histadrut, and the Haganah (predecessor to the Israeli army). The Zionist movement had outside funding from Zionist organizations in Europe and the US. The Zionists had diplomatic influence in Great Britain. The Zionists were able to purchase land and immigrate into Palestine because the British held the Palestinian Arabs in check. During World War II, the Zionists gained military experience and access to weapons by joining the British army and by the later creation of a Jewish military unit under British command. After World War II, the Zionists had support from the United States for the partition of Palestine and creation of a Jewish state. The Zionists were able to purchase weapons from the Czechoslovakia, and won the Palestine War.

Consider next the Palestinian Arabs. They had lower rates of literacy and political experience, and they had few financial resources. The Palestinians were largely comprised of families in the countryside. (Unlike the Zionists who tended to be young, mobile, and urban.) They did not begin a national movement until after World War I. The political institutions they built, such as political parties and labor unions, came later (1920s and 1930s). The Palestinian Arabs did not have support from a strong European power. They did not have access to outside funding. They did not have official recognition from the British. (On this issue see the document of the Mandate that calls for a Jewish Agency to be created in Palestine, but not a parallel agency for the Arabs.) After the revolt 1936-39, the Palestinian leadership was in exile and many Palestinians were in detention. There was a political vacuum for the Palestinians going into the 1948 war. The Palestinian Arabs lacked weapons, the Arab states were divided going into the war and were not committed to establishing a Palestinian Arab state.

So take these ideas, and others you might want to add, and explain them thoroughly. Provide time references (dates, years, ranges of years) for the events. Also, be sure to draw on the assigned documents in Laqueur and Rubin as part of your evidence.
