Pro-Israel

 Inhofe argues that the Palestinian leaders "do not recognize Israel's right to exist."

N.Pg.

2

Pro-Israel

Inhofe argues that "The ancient Philistines are extinc... they do not have the unbroken line to this date that the Israelis have" in order to discredit the Palestinians' claim to Israel through ancestry.

N.Pg.

3

Pro-Israel

Inhofe furthers his argument that Palestinians have no claim to Israel and that the Jews do through historical context claiming that  "the Romans conquered the land. Israel had no homeland, although Jews were allowed to live there. They were driven from the land in two dispersions: One was in 70 a.d. and the other was in 135 a.d. But there was always a Jewish presence in the land."

N.Pg.

Pro-Israel

According to Inhofe, "Britain promised to give [what is now Jordan and Israel to] the Jews in 1917."

N.Pg.

Pro-Israel

Inhofe criticizes the Palestinian Nation claiming that "It did not [ever] exist"

N.Pg.

Pro-Palestinian Statehood

"Negotiations between two unequal partiescannot succeed"

N.Pg.

8

Pro-Palestinian Statehood

Barghouthi claims that  "negotiations were dominated on one side by an Israeli government that controls the land, roads, airspace, borders, water and electricity, as well as the trade and economy of the Palestinian side, while possessing a powerful military establishment (now the third military exporter in the world) and a robust gross domestic product, which has tripled in the last decade."

N.Pg.

9

Pro-Peace

"The peace problem is concerned with the unwillingness of Israel's Arab neighbors to accept the Jewish state as a permanent fact."

N.Pg.

10

Pro-Peace

According to Frum, as long as the Palestinians refuse to accept the fact that Israel is there to stay, peace will be impossible for both sides.

N.Pg.

11

Pro-Palestine

"Palestine is a strategic land due to both its religious significance and geographic location."

N.Pg.

12

Pro- Palestine

The IAP defined the borders of Palestine as "to the East the Jordan River, to the West the Mediterranean Sea, to the North Lebanon and to the South the Sinai Desert and the Gulf of Aqabah."

N.Pg.

13

Pro-Palestine

According to the IAP, "Palestine is the land of prophets who were sent with the message of Islam and hence should not be ruled by anyone other than those who uphold the message of Islam by implementing its laws and regulations."

N.Pg.

14

Background

"The inability of either side to recognize the validity of the other side's claims to the disputed territory has resulted in decades of violence and instability in the region"

N.Pg.

15

Background

"The Palestinian political party known as Hamas was founded in 1987. The party's army has continually entered into military conflict with Israel."

N.Pg.

16

Background

"In the late 1800s, a European Jewish movement known as Zionism emerged, and its adherents worked to establish a Jewish state."

N.Pg.

17

Background

"After ten years of trying to quell the mounting violence from both Palestinians and Jews, Britain relinquished control of the Palestinian territory, handing it over to the United Nations."

N.Pg.

18

Pro-Israel

The central argument of Danon's article is argues that the Israeli government "must seize this opportunity and right a historic wrong by annexing parts of [its] homeland."

N.Pg.

19

Pro-Peace

"The elixir of a two-state solution is not a rational reconciliation of competing claims, but a recognition of its impossibility and leaders must sell the compromises required to their peoples."

Raab N.Pg.

20

Pro-Peace

According to Raab, "if Palestine is recognised as a state, the PA would assume greater responsibility for preventing terrorist attacks from within its territory"

N.Pg.

21

Anti-Peace

60 minutes argued that "even before Israel invaded Gaza, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians had concluded that peace between them was no longer possible"

N.Pg.

22

Pro-Palestine

"For peace to have a chance, Israel would have to withdraw from the West Bank, which would then become the Palestinian state."

60 Minutes N.Pg.

23

Anti-Peace

In the interview with 60 minutes, Dr. Barghouti argued that the Israelis were attempting to "fragment the West Bank"

N.Pg

24

60 Minutes N.Pg.

25
