As our generation progresses into this information age, blogs compared to "old-school" newspapers are a better way in promoting ideas or current events to the world. That being said my blog will provide knowledge about this ongoing conflict to anyone who who is unaware of the severity of this issue. My blog will stress the importance to understand this conflict between Israel and Palestine. Not only to understand the history of this conflict, but also the importance for peace to be made in the region this conflict takes place. Once you obtain knowledge of the situation, you will realize that something needs to be done. I will illustrate the violence which occurs visually through pictures and videos. In addition I will post links to websites and provide books which can further inform you on this conflict. 

Overview of the Conflict

Israel and Palestine have been in a ongoing conflict for almost a century. Yes that means this conflict dates back so far that it has been passed through generations! So that rises the question what is the root to this conflict? So, towards the end of the 1800‘s, Jewish people were promised land for a Jewish homeland in Palestine located in the Middle East. There was a political movement known as the Zionism to establish this homeland and attain sovereignty for their people. The land they chose to migrate to happened to a british mandate which was at the time Palestine. The Muslims already living in this region were furious that the jews were invading their communities. This is the start of the violence and a conflict which still exists almost a century later. Over the course of this conflict thousands upon thousands of lives have been taken  including innocent women and children and Israel has attained most of the land of original Palestine.
