By Marian Fernandez | November 25, 2014

Many centuries ago, Jews were forcedly moved

from our land, the Land of Israel. Our history,

culture and land were taken from our hands

and many of us have been fighting for it since

the 19th Century, when Zionism was created.

The lands that once belong to us are Land of

Canaan, the Holy Land and Palestine. As it is

well known, since 2006, a very strong post-

Zionist Israeli organization was created, the Im

Tirtzu. The main objective of the Im Tirtzu is

strengthening and promoting the Zionist values

in Israel. Plus, as many of us now, the Im

Tirtzu is an extra-parliamentary group.

For the last three years, the Israeli High Court

of Justice has been deciding whether or not to

consider and decide if the Im Tirtzu should be

taken as a fascist organization. The Im Tirtzu

has a very old Jewish vision of Israel. They see

Israel as an organic nation. Im Tirtzu sees

the individuals as inseparable parts of a whole

(Sadan, 1). While the government, sees the

state as a partnership between individuals

(Sadan, 1).

This obviously presents a problem in oucountry and our people history, culture and life

Many of us Jews favor the post-Zioni

organizations and people, whom think that th

Zionist movement already fulfilled i

ideological goal when the State of Israel wa

created in 1948. But obviously the Im Zioni

Organization believes otherwise. This issue i

our state is delicate and involves a lot ou

religion, which is very pressure for us. What wihappen now? Should the Im Zionist need to b

eliminated? Should we continue living withou

part of our Promised Land? Or should we figh

for it like the Im Zionist? Or should we accep

and appreciate what we have, live our live

proud of who we are, of our culture and ou

history?

Lorem Ipsum Dolor Spring 2016Suggestions to this problem

According to editor Blake Alott, everything

that has to do with Zionism need to be

rejected. Everything since organizations to

suggestions in the government. An exampleof this is the Two-State Solution between

Palestine and Israel. Blake Alott states that

the Two-State Solution should be rejected

because if one of the states is Palestine, the

other is the existing, ethnocratic Jewish

state in Palestine a Zionist state with

everything that entails (Allot, 1). Zionists

from Israel want to keep all of their

Promised Land, this includes Gaza and

West Bank. Zionists from Palestine want to

take back what was stolen from them and

make West Bank and Gaza an independent

state. This is the actual Israel/Palestine

conflict and it is obvious to see the Zionism

ideology has a lot to do with it. This

obviously brings trouble between Zionist

groups, considering that both have a strong

and alike ideology but with different goals.

Israel vs. PalestineThis conflict has been going on since

around the late 19th century and the early

20th century. It started with nationalist

movements from Arab Muslims and Jews.

Since the tension within both cultures was

evident and was rising rapidly, this led into

a conflict in Levant, that is a region where

western Asia, eastern Mediterranean and

northeast Africa meet. This region has a

very big variety of cultures, religions, and

economic statuses. There is one conflict

that is considered to be very influent in this

Israel-Palestine conflict, The Six Day War of1967 where Israel took control over the

Gaza Strip and the West Bank, 2 territories

with a great amount of Arab Muslim

population.

To this day, West Bank is controlled by

Palestine authorities, but they are still part

of Israeli territory, this should be a start for

the Muslims to have arguments to make the

West Bank an independent state but the

Israeli Jews are not dumb, they establish

Jewish communities inside this territory

and give them orders to expand, which

makes it easier for the Jews to stop Muslim

revolts for independence. These

communities are protected by the Israeli

army just in case Arabs try to hurt them,

this way they kill 2 birds with one shot, they

increase Jewish population, and have one

reasonable reason to implement their army

in the conflict zone to enforce security.

The never-endingconflict

This problem became an official conflict

in 1963. Experts made an approximate

calculation with a variety of studies

and they got to the conclusion that

there have been 21,500 casualties to

the year 2013

Political cartoonThis political cartoon cant be more specific and

effective. On the left side of Israel we have anArab Muslim and on the right side we have an

Israeli Jew. Both are fighting for the conflict

zone which is all Israel. The figure of Israel has

the Jewish Star of David that is the principal

representation of the Jewish group, and it has

the Palestinian flag as well, which as established

before, are the 2 groups fighting over the

territory they wan.

Israel vs Palestine

The conflict that has been going on forcenturies and just cant reach a solution.

On the other hand, the Gaza Strip is

controlled by an Islamist fundamental party called

the Hamas, but, just like the West Bank, its territory

is part of Israel. The Hamas formed in 1987 and won

political power on Gaza in the year of 2006 by U.S.-

based elections, this made the situation much more

tense and violent. The difference of these two

Palestinian territories is that in 2005 the IsraeliArmy

pulled out by orders of the former Israeli Prime

Minister, Ariel Shanon. Since then the Israeli army is

not able to go into the Gaza Strip, and Jewish people

are not aloud to settle there either. The relationship

between Gaza and Israel is way much tense than the

one of the West Bank with Israel. There have been

some worldwide known rocket attacks from the

Gaza Strip territory that do directly to Israeli targets.

Israel has taken action into this and sometimes Gaza

is not provided with enough fuel, medicines, food

and electricity that before arriving have to go through

the government of Israel. The Israeli government

takes advantage of this situation because they know

that is the easiest way to weaken Gaza, because

without enough food, medicines, and electricity

people can get weaker.

Basically the conflict is over the land tha

belongs to Israel that Arab Muslims control. The

Arab Muslim population gave their land the name

of Palestine; over the years they basically established

the name as official to themselves and the generaworld. The issue here is that Palestinians want to get

their own state and Israelis oppose to the idea

because it implies that they loose part of their

country. There are a lot of actors involved in this big

issue. We have the previously mentioned Aram

Muslims and the Jews, but we have the UN, we have

the PLO that stands for Palestinian Liberation

Organization, which is runned by the PA, which

stands for Palestinian National Authority. There are

a whole lot in IGOs and NGOs involved in this

conflict and it does not seem that is coming to and

end, or minimum in a short term notice.

This conflict has consequences in the marke

of that zone because its very difficult to be certain

that there is not going to be an attack, bombing or

something, that does not help Israel nor the other

country that stops making business with them.

This is the visua

representation and

localization of where theissue is taking place

On the left we have the Paestinian Loss of

Land from 1947 to these day. The green

part is Palestinan land and the white part

is Israeli land.

Suggestions made by editors

Editors say that do to the fact that the situation

is very tense, there are just 2 options, a two state

solution that means that Palestine becomes anindependent state, or a one-state solution that

means that either of the sides gets full control of the

territory. But both of them have a lot of negative

consequences and non of the sides are willing to agree

to loose something.

The two-state solution is what the Palestine

territories, West Bank and Gaza, want, that is what

they been fighting for for so many years, but Israel is

going to do everything in their power not to let that

happen. They have been investing in this cause for alot of time and since they already started I doubt that

they are going to stop and let the Palestine community

get what they want. In fact, there were some peace

negotiations going on and everything was going

excellent, actually like never before, but they fell

apart in July and August of this year. This made the

conflict escalate to total war between Israel and

Hamas. This is a realist approach because is what

experts think is going to happen.

On the other side, the one-state solution is

what Israel is fighting for, but in my humble opinion if

this happens, it will be a matter of time before a

revolution takes place because if Israel wins the

Palestinian community is not going to accept the

defeat. A few years ago, the Gaza Strip and the West

Bank were fighting each one by their side for the same

objective, recently they decided to join forces to get to

the same objective, but since the only thing between

them is nothing more and nothing less than Israel,

their enemy. This makes things way more complicatedfor everyone. There is a theory that says that when

the West bank merges, the Israeli government will

make the Palestinian leave the country or remove

their right to vote, but this would imply violating

human rights and it would become into a conflict

where the UN will be forced to interfere and the

conflict will get 10 times bigger. This is an idealist

approach on the Israeli side, because is what they

want but it seems difficult for this to happen.
