 * Reflection on Palestinian Intro Video**

In this video I do believe it is Bias. I believe that they are on the side of the Palestinian, they say nothing positive about the Jewish or what they are doing. They mention many times the special treatment that the Jewish get while the Palestinians are getting privileges taken away from them, at the end of the video they say that we can help stop the Jewish and what they are doing. They mention how they are discriminating against the Palestinian and the U.S are just aiding the Israeli Military.

 * Israel Vs. Palestine Video**

What is the message The message is that Palestine is harrassing and provoking Israel and posing as the victim when in reality they are harming Israel. The reason why Israel faught was because they were just standing up for themselves. They got fed up and said enough was enough and finally attacked. //The broad is just no matter what level you look at it bullying nand terrorism is all around us. Saying they are overreacting or blaming them without seeing that they were being provoked by the Palestinians. Isreal only takes so much but they will defend what is theirs.// What is the bias? The cartoon is on the side of Israel, they represent Palestine as a pest almost who continues to bother Israel and harm them, and at the end it says theat Israel was just defending themselves. The first time it seemed like Israel was going to attack the Palestine put little kids and the second time the attack was made to seem very minor. A flick rather than a punch.

I n the late 1880's a group of Zionists traveled to Palestine to see what it offered as a Jewish homeland. One Zionist said, when he returned to Europe; This quote means that Palestinian is good land or there is nothing wrong about it but they are being restricted because of who they are with, who is in the land. The bride being Palestine and the other man being Israel or the arabs. They are tied together and so this holds the Palestine back from others attempting to get hold of it. The Zionest kind of predicted a conflict that might occur.
 * "The Bride is beautiful but she is married to another man" **
 * What was meant by this quote:




 * Five observations I see on the map**
 * In 1897 there was no Jewish land and as time went on it increased
 * The Jewish land drastically increased during 1947 which was around the time of the Holocaust
 * The amount of Jewish land was constant during 1948-1956 the six day war took place
 * Now there is little Palestinian population
 * Dominant population is Israeli
 * They recived all that land through the UN and the war

__**Reflection**__ **__questions on Guide Questions 5:__ (Copy and paste into your wiki)**

**1. Discuss the viewpoint of the Israelis and the Palestinians on the barrier between Israel and the West Bank.** They think that the barrier blocks their resources and major travel routes, Palestinians split their communities in two. The Israeli wanted this because they believed it ensured safety in Israel, feared the "terrorist activities" **2. What do you see as the major stumbling blocks in the attempted peace talks discussed in this section?** A major stumbling block I see is that the Israeli people will not be happy with the withdrawals of the territories, asked to change too many things and were rushing through this. Israel need to recognize Palestine as a state

**__Reflection Questions on Guide Questions 6:__ (Copy and paste into your wiki)**
