sraeli-Palestinian conflict
why is there even a oonfliot between lsrael and Palestine in the first plaoe?
well, biblioally after the lsraelites fled from Lgypt, the Lord told the lsraelite nation to
take the land of Canaan, whioh is the Palestine of today. But after that the Romans
oonquered them, and the Arabs overtook the them in turn.
1he land whioh the Arabs took power inoluded the 1ewish oly Land of
1erusalem. 1his was a reason for their religious war.
After world war l, there was an attempt to grant the lsraelite people their own
nation, but this meant that the land would be taken from the Palestinians. After world
war ll, relooation of the 1ewish people after the olooaust inoreased their immigration
into Palestine.
ln 1948, 1he uN seourity Counoil deolared lsrael it's own state, resulting in the
relooation of Palestinians into oonoentration oamps in 0iza and the western Bank.

it should push through beoause both nations only have the end goal of oonfliot
resolution and establishment of borders. But beyond that, say, unity or

the ones who are most traumatized and soarred by suoh events.
3) lt illustrates the harmony men oan have with eaoh other, plaoed under the right
oiroumstanoes of oivility and oommunioation. lt fosters a sense of oommonality

members of a dynamio group in sooiety, play a oruoial role in
positively transforming oonfliot situations and in building the
foundations of demooratio and peaoeful. 1he youth of today are
the future leaders, and spear heads, and world shakers of
tomorrow. lnvest in the youth, and you invest in the future. Listen
to what the young people have to say, what hey have to share,
and they won,t be afraid of standing up for what is right in the
future.

to enoourage eaoh party to being open minded of the ohildren's
fresh perspeotives, and in turn be more willing to listen to eaoh
other. By opening a line of disoourse, through the means of youth
partioipation, we help alleviate the tension. Uelegates would
praotioe restraint and aot aooordingly to set a right example for
the young people.

fellowship and oonversation rather than making them full.
RELEVNCE:
we deoided to host the Lvent outside of that area, to ease
the tension. lt would also be a risk to host it in either one of their
lands, due to the risk of terrorism. 3inoe uN is holding the event,
what better venue than the uN headquarters itself?

3. what made it diffioult for you in finishing the
task?1hinking of the right oombination of performanoes, the
order, how to remain neutral yet still nurture an atmosphere of
oultural pride and respeot.
4. what realizations and insights did you gain from our
topio, Culture?we have realized that it isn't so muoh as
slandering your brother or disrespeoting him that oauses oonfliot.
3uoh things oan be appeased. lt is the disrespeot of his oulture
and heritages. we have aslo learned to look at suoh delioate
situations at every angle, and be more objeotive in making
deoisions.
