Should Palestinians Own The Holy Land?
This paper will prove that Palestinians should own the Holy land. The Palestinians and Jews both claim that the land is theirs and this paper will prove that the Palestinians are the rightful owners. Three pieces of evidence are that the Palestinians were there first. The Jews left for 2000 years so why should they get it back. Second the Jews forced many Palestinians out of there own homes. Third.

The Palestinians build houses, homes, and buildings for what they need on land they found and that they have been on for over 2000 years. Then they are forced to share their land with Jews that tell lies about how the land is there and not the Palestinians but it is the Palestinians. The Palestinians have built houses and homes for their families

Pink, Pink claims that people are not just motivated by basic needs and rewards/punishments. They are also motivated intrinsically. Pink quotes scientist Bob Wolf, “Wolf uncovered a range of motives, but they found that enjoyment-based intrinsic motivation, namely how creative a person feels when working on the project, is the strongest and most pervasive driver” (Pink 21). In this quote Pink proves his point by citing a scientist that has states that intrinsic motivation is the not only a motivation, but the strongest motivation. People are motivated by internal rewards, what is enjoying to them. Pink also claims…

    Also descended from Abraham. Lived along the coast – the Philistines. The land had been populated by Arabs since at least the 7th century. When the Arab conquerors arrived, there were Christians and a smaller number of Jews living in the area. Many of the Christians had been descendants of the original Jews who become followers of Jesus. Following the Islamic conquest, many of the Christians and Jews became Muslims, meaning that many of the current Palestinians have been on the land for thousands of years as well.…

    Working as a support worker for young adults, among other responsibilities, solely requires maintenance of a safe environment for the young adults to be cared for, while promoting wellbeing. Maintaining a safe environment involves a series of inter-twined activities which include monitoring and reporting the activities of the individuals in care on a day-to-day base. Considering that the activities are carried out by multiple individuals in different placements within the United Kingdom, with different attitudes and operation patterns, the need for regulation to foster uniformity and consistency within all organisations has not been ignored.

    (NEW PARAGRAPH) In the Middle Ages, Christians considered Palestine the Holy Land because it was where Jesus had lived and taught. The Arabs had conquered Palestine in the 600s. Most Arabs were Muslims, but they usually tolerated other religions. Jews and Christians who paid their taxes and observed other regulations were free to live in Palestine and practice their own religion. The Arab rulers didn’t usually interfere with Christian pilgrims visiting Palestine, and European traders could generally do business there. During the 1000s the Seljuk Turks, people from central Asia who had adopted the Muslim faith, conquered Palestine and attacked Asia Minor, which was part of the Byzantine Empire.…

    On the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinian land has been increasingly taken over by Israel for years. An extremist Jewish group called the Zionists, emerged in the late 1800s , seeking to find a homeland for the Jews, and searching in both Africa and the Americas before finally settling on Palestine. This did not appear as a problem or threat at first but as many more Zionists immigrated to Palestine with the intention of taking over the land to create a Jewish state, fighting broke out with the Palestinians, increasingly surging with Hitler’s rise to power during World War I. To this day, Palestinians have very minimal control of what mere land they have left, especially with Israel’s military forces using extremely oppressive methods.…

    Palestine, or is it Israel? Either way, it is a highly contested land between two major Semitic groups: the Arabs, and the Hebrews. From the late 19th century, and throughout the 20th century it has been the focal point of Arab nationalism and Jewish Zionism. Today, it has become the Jewish state of Israel with occupied Palestinian Territories called the West Bank, which lies on the West side of the Jordan River, and the Gaza Strip, which borders Israel and Egypt. But, should the Palestinians deserve a state of their own? This essay will investigate the Palestinian side of the argument, their Biblical and Quranic ties to the land, the State of Palestine should have been created under Jordanian Egyptian as well as Israeli occupation of the land, and finally Israel’s poor relations with Palestine and colonial occupation of the land has led to the formation of many radical groups.…

    For over sixty years, the people of both Israel and Palestine have been at war. The largest issue behind the conflict is territorial borders. Both sides believe the area is their divine birth-right and a gift from their “God”. They thus believe that giving up these lands would be seen as a disgrace and a sin to each side’s respective religion. Under any other circumstances, this bloodshed would have ended decades ago were it not for this 10,000 square mile territory being home to both the Jewish and Palestinian (Muslim) religions. The question, therefore, is how the people of both Israel and Palestine create peace in the region when both civilizations insist on divine ownership.…
