The Jewish settlements represent in principle that which Zachary Lockman (1976) says is the socialism by virtue of the establishment of the Zionist settlements revolution, and then colonization with class struggle. Lockman contends that because the settlements were born out of revolution, communal in nature and therefore not in competition with regional Arab society, that an anti-Arab sentiment was facilitated. The basis upon which the settlements were established called for "but rarely practiced joint organization of Jewish and Arab labor (Lockman)."
In 2005, the Israeli Parliament voted to begin dismantling certain settlements in the West Bank, and to return the land to Arab control (Mitnick, 2005).
Removing settlers from Gaza in August, 2005. Klein, Aaron, 2005, found online at: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45864,retrieved15 April 2008.
Without accomplishing peace in the region, the Israelites would never be able to fully pursue the goals that served as the motivation behind bringing the notion of Zionism from an idea, to a reality. Without bringing the Arab thought and concern into the Israeli political process, it would be impossible to engage in credible peace talks.
Today
With the 2005 evacuation of some settlements in Gaza and the West Bank, Israel demonstrated its commitment to peace in the region (Mitnick, 2006). This does not reconcile all of the problems of the past, but what it does suggest is that Israel is willing to work with the Palestinians in resolving the issues that separate them. The problem, right now, is that outside interests, and money, for instance from Iran, continue to interfere in the processes and possibility of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. If those forces are held back from the influences that they have been exerting over the Palestinians, then Israel and Palestine stand a much better chance in resolving their problems.

Introduction The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most enduring and contentious conflicts in modern history, rooted in a complex web of historical, religious, and political factors. The conflict has its origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when waves of Jewish immigrants began to settle in Palestine, then part of the Ottoman Empire, leading to a struggle for control of the land between Jewish and Arab communities. In
Israel Explanation of the Issue: Introduction The most recent escalation of conflict in Israel and Gaza show that the current situation is untenable. This paper examines the history of the creation of the state of Israel and the aftermath of the Balfour Declaration and its subsequent United Nations resolutions in 1947. After providing background information on the situation in Israel, the author will examine the security risks that both the Israelis and
Jews desperately sought entrance into the City of Spring, but the British stood firm on their proclamation, fearing Arab backlash. "The Nazis kill us," the Jews cried, "and the British won't let us live." In 1945, the world discovered that its greatest fear had come true: the Nazi death camps all over Europe, ripe with the massacre of the Jewish people, cemented the Zionist call in those who lived. "Israelis
ISRAEL'S SUCCESSES: Israel has accomplished much in its 48 years to be proud of. It has created a country from scratch, finding ways to farm efficiently in a climate not completely hospitable to farming. It has established a strong educational system. It has fought six wars and managed to defend its country successfully even when it was surrounded by hostile neighbors. It has brought the region to the point where the
Funding its own defense projects on the strength of international arms sales has become an increasingly important strategic way of ensuring it the economic capacity to support military needs which are considerable for a nation of its decidedly modest geographical size. But this also points to another important part of Israel's geopolitical outlook. As a nation often viewed with hostility and contempt by its neighbors and the orbit of natural
