The Palestinians Should Have Thier Own State
Imagine walking to a bus stop with some friends to go shopping. On a bench sits a bag of candy. You reach for it, to take it or possibly just to move it, and the next thing you know you’re surrounded by white coats and blurry faces. You find out your two best friends and dead and you’re missing both of your arms. Now imagine living in a “house,” no bigger than six hundred square feet, with your parents, two sisters, two brothers, and your mom’s parents. You can’t leave you hose, in fact no one in your village can. All because some Israeli kids got hurt in a terrorist act nearby and someone said your little brother did it. This is just one set of instances that can happen to anyone in Israel. These kinds of occurrences lead to many ways to solve the growing problem. One is the suggestion of an independent Palestinian state. The Palestinians should have their own state because it can lessen the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel and it will give Palestinians, especially the refugees, a chance to start over. One reason there should be an independent Palestinian state is that it will create the possibility for lessening the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israel, giving hope for peace. The Palestinians are willi . . .
This quote shows that the Palestinians have respect for diversity as long as it follows the rules of the nation. The refugees are a burden not only to Israel but to the Middle East as a whole. The resolutions cause more problems than they solve. By continuing to fence off and bulldoze the Occupied Territories the Israelis only cause more damage. First, the right to have a new beginning, Palestinians should not have to leave their homes because Israeli bulldozers come to transform their homeland from Muslim to Jewish. They should not have to stand by and watch every effort from the United Nations become public debate and never put into action. Though the international government knows about these unjust, inhumane practices the United Nations resolutions go unheeded and are more public debate than law. This proves that Palestinians believe that on independent nation is inevitable. Another reason the Palestinians should have their own nation is that it will give Palestinians, especially the refugees, a chance to start over. Haydar ‘Abd al-Shafi hits home against the Israeli practices. Some people believe that there should not be a Palestinian state because it would threaten Israel’s security. In the words of Yasir Arafat “Let not the olive branch of peace fall from my hands” (‘Abd al-Shafi, 146) . As Walid Khalidi, a Palestinian scholar from Harvard states “A Palestinian state can be devised which is totally compatible with Israel’s security” (162). Even though opposers say that a Palestinian state would threaten Israel, the borders would be an unnecessary worry.
