Israel-Palestine Peace Process
The ten-week-old conflict, which has caused as many as 300 deaths mostly by Israeli troops doesn't seem to end even after both the Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak issued public statements calling for end of violence in the Holy Land. On November 2, 2000, only hours after Palestinians and Israelis reached a tentative truce to end more than a month of violence, a car bomb went off near a popular outdoor market, killing two people. Since the outbreak of the second intifada, people around the world have witnessed many bloody scenes where people sacrifice their lives for their own justification of peace. Many people had a hard time believing their own eyes when viewing a photo shot of a father trying to protect his son from pouring bullets and another shot of a frightened 12-year-old boy killed as his father tried to shield him from Israeli bullets were released throughout the world. There are those who blame Ariel Sharon, the rightist Likud party leader for triggering the revolt by offending Palestinians. There are others who are questioning his intention of entering the Islamic holy compound Harm al Sharif known as the Temple Mount to Jews. There are also debates on whether
After the defeat of the 1967 War, Palestinians became more frustrated with their situation that left them subject to daily petty humiliation. Human hearts and human nature must be changed. Six wars, four generations, incalculable pain and countless deaths have taken place since Israel gained its independence fifty years ago. Some are evening saying that Israelis weakened morale doesn't back up it military and economic strength in putting an end to the conflict. Palestine's no intention of giving up the city has been well conveyed in previous talks and actions taken by them in the past. Regardless of the many varying opinions, peace will never be achieved unless both sides realize that obtaining the land will not provide security and that only spiritual as well as mental security one has in his or her heart will. For years extending back and beyond modern times, the official issue in the Middle East has been over land. On the other hand, the idea of wiping Palestinians of the land would be unjust for Palestinians, who had been living in the land before the establishment of the State of Israel. Over the centuries, Jerusalem, which is a Holy City for three religions, has been the cause of clashes like those between the Romans and the Jews in A. Since the issue is emotional and religious, there are those who believe that peace simply is not an option in the region. Nonetheless, many scholars are skeptical that this incident will bring about a permanent peace to the land. Peacemakers are to be highly valued in any age and in any situation to come, but real peacemakers must reconcile men to God before they can reconcile one man to another.
