...Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين Filasṭīn, Falasṭīn, Filisṭīn; Greek: Παλαιστίνη, Palaistinē; Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשתינה Palestina) is a geographic region in Western Asia between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. It is sometimes considered to include adjoining territories. The name was used by Ancient Greek writers, and was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima and the Umayyad and Abbasid province of Jund Filastin. The region is also known as the Land of Israel (Hebrew: ארץ־ישראל Eretz-Yisra'el),[1] the Holy Land, the Southern Levant,[2] Cisjordan, and historically has been known by other names including Canaan, Southern Syria and Jerusalem. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. The region has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Sunni Arab Caliphates, the Shia Fatimid Caliphate, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans, the British and modern Israelis and Palestinians. Boundaries of the region have changed throughout history, and were last defined in modern times by the Franco-British boundary agreement (1920) and the Transjordan memorandum of 16 September 1922, during the mandate period.[3] Today, the...

...Middle East nations are faced with a growing demand for a shrinking water supply. Throughout most of the Middle East region rainfall is irregular and the rainy season is very short. The World Bank reports that this area (including North Africa) has 5% of the world’s population, but only 1% of the world’s water. Droughts have been occurring more frequently and lasting longer, warning of a bleaker future. Man himself has not helped the situation. The rivers in the Middle East are being diverted, dammed, aquifers are being drained and polluted by pesticides and sea salt, and even marshes are drying up due to over-pumping. The countries that do have access to the precious few water sources do not conserve it, preserve it, nor can they agree on how to manage and share the water fairly. The need for water is not only for human consumption, but it is also vital in order to sustain agriculture. A nation that is unable to produce enough water and thus, food, for their own people is reliant on other nations to provide for them. This dependence can give rise to suspicion and conflict, which unsurprisingly has plagued this area of the world for centuries. The population in the Middle East has been growing rapidly, both from an increased birth-rate and immigration. For example, the Jordan River basin population has quintupled since 1940, to 15 million people, creating detrimental damage to both the amount and quality of water. More and more water is needed to keep up with the population...

...large part of the Middle East, though this event had little to no effect on the conflict. In 1920, the San Remo conference largely endorsed the 1916 Anglo-French Sykes–Picot Agreement, allocating to Britain the area of present day Jordan, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and Iraq, while France received Syria and Lebanon. In 1922, the League of Nations formally established the British Mandate for Palestine and Transjordan, at least partially fulfilling Britain's commitments from the 1915–16 McMahon–Hussein Correspondence by assigning all of the land east of the Jordan River to the Emirate of Jordan, ruled by Hashemite king Abdullah but closely dependent on Britain, leaving the remainder west of the Jordan as the League of Nations Mandatory Palestine. While the British had made promises to give both Arabs and Jews land, the British claimed they had never promised to give either side all of the land. Rising tensions had given way to violence, such as the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, and Jaffa riots of 1921. To assuage the Arabs, and due to British inability to control Arab violence in the Mandatory Palestine any other way, the semi-autonomous Arab Emirate of Transjordan was created in all Palestinian territory east of the Jordan river (roughly 77% of the mandate). The conflicting forces of Arab nationalism and the Zionist movement created a situation...

...cherished places, among which is the next door Dead Sea….… Around three million years ago, what is now the valley of the Jordan River and Dead Sea, was flooded by waters from the Mediterranean Sea. The waters formed a narrow, curved bay which was connected to the sea. Approximately two million years ago, the land between the Valley and the Mediterranean Sea rose to such an extent that the sea could no longer flood the area. Thus, the long bay became the lake we call the Dead Sea. A unique combination of several factors makes Dead Sea's total attraction: the chemical composition of its water, the filtered sunrays and oxygen-rich air, the mineral-rich black mud along the shoreline, and above all that is the spiritual legacy of the place. The area has a Biblical history. King Herod used it as his spa, and King David made it his retreat. It is believed to be the site of five biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebouin and Zoar. More ominously, the Dead Sea witnessed the extreme, supernatural fire that violently destroyed the sinners in Sodom and Gomorrah down to make the lowest dry point on earth and one of the saltiest water bodies in the world. To this salty lake the blessed holy Jordan River feed. The Dead Sea is fed by the Jordan River and a number of small streams. However, inflow to the Dead Sea has been greatly reduces by the increase use of the Jordan River by Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians, and because it is located in a very dry hot region it loses much water...

...The Future of the Middle East We often think of the Middle East as a volatile region, but for a time experts saw the region as relatively stable. Entrenched authoritarian regimes were seen as pillars of the region that rested on their coercive apparatus as well as rentierism to maintain their rule. Thus, it came as a shock to experts when the Arab Spring bulldozed regimes that had been in power for as long as forty years. The hope of the Arab Spring was to eradicate the despotic rulers of the Middle East and replace them with democratic institutions. However, this hope has not been realized as civil war, failures of newly democratic institutions and unscathed monarchies continue to plague the region. Still, the Arab Spring is in its infant stage. The outcomes in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria remain to be seen while it appears that the monarchies of the region are stronger than ever. The future of the Middle East will be divided between the monarchies and the republics. The monarchies will most likely keep the status quo (with the help of the United States) while the republics will shape the future of democracy in the region. While it is impossible to predict the future of the Middle East due to a number of factors including the Arab-Israeli and Kurdish conflicts and the drying of oil wells, most experts on the Middle East would agree with the notion that monarchies will continue to remain unscathed in comparison to their non-monarchical neighbors. However, these same people...

...The social behavior and roles of women in the Middle can vary according to tribe, custom, religion, and national law. There are also various regional factors, influenced by geography, social class, and economic development. In most Middle Eastern countries, the Shari'a, or Islamic law, defines the rules of traditional social behavior. Under the law, women are accorded a role inferior to that of men, and are therefore discriminated against with regard to personal rights and freedoms. Islamic law is enforced through the media, education and through community leaders collectively, Islamic views on female sexuality is one of the main determining factors for strict adherence of Islamic laws, and many perceive that it is the government's job to enforce this morality. Islamic female sexuality is thought of as being so powerful that it constitutes a real danger to society therefore, unrestrained females constitute the most dangerous challenge facing males trying to carry out God's commands. In combination, it is believed that a females desires and their irresistible attractiveness give women a power over men. Differing from other religions such as Christianity and Judaism, Islam does not see desire as a force that must be eliminated or systematically regulated. Rather, one must employ it in a way that coincides with what religious law dictates. For example, sexual desire, exercised according to Muslim beliefs, ensures the continuation of the human race. Sexual desires exerted...

Israel is in an area on planet Earth known as the Middle East. Israel lies along the Eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel is bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. It is close to Europe, Asia, and Africa but is considered a part of Asia. Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, and the Bible contains a historical account of the first thousand years of Israel’s history. Even though the Jewish people spent many centuries dispersed around the world, they never forgot about their true homeland. In 1948 the Jewish people regained their independence that...

...the PLO agreed that “[njeither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the permanent status negotiations.” This was a pledge to not return to the already abandoned unilateral strategy (78). The article criticizes the PLO for not having a susinckt plan when declaring to be a sovereign state. It makes me think that the Palestinians in the West Bank region only want to be in the region to gain sympathy and collect foreign aid money. The source does little to add to the overall context of the Israel Palestine conflict but adds a different dimension to the conflict portraying the PLO as disorganized and not having a plan. The fourth source I looked at was an article, Do the Palestinians Really Want Their Own State? by Josef Joffe. He claims that the PLO does not really want their own state. He gives countless examples of the Palestinians refusing deals that would give them their own state. The Arabs rejected the British Peel plan offer that included Jordan. After the six day war, 1947, the Arabs would not negotiate, recognize or make peace. Yassir Arafat rejected Bill Clintons Peace accords despite a good offer and started the second intifada throwing stones at police. In 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offers to, Mahmoud Abbas of territory equivalent to 100 percent of the West Bank and Gaza, Jerusalem would be shared.

...Causes and Effects of the Six Day War?” The Israeli death toll is nearly twenty times less than that of their opposition in the Six Day War. The Six Day War was fought in June, 1967. It was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab forces including Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The United States and Soviet Union were both involved. The U.S. supported Israel and the U.S.S.R. supported the Arab forces. Countries like France and Great Britain were also involved but tried to remain neutral. The war was caused by the mutual distrust, mounting tension and military build up on each side. The war led to more conflict and tension in the Middle East. The Six Day War was caused by the history of war between Israel and Arab countries. Before the Six Day War, there had already been two wars involving Israel and a neighboring Arab country. Israel was involved in the Arab-Israeli War and the Suez Crisis. Israel won both wars, securing their spot in the Middle East. Israel also had numerous armed conflicts with Arab forces. In between major armed conflicts, there were terrorist attacks committed by Arabic. Groups like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Arabic guerrillas from countries like Syria, Egypt and Jordan committed these attacks. Another cause of the Six Day War was the mounting tensions on each side. Although Arabic guerrillas already conducted attacks on Israel, the formation of the PLO in 1964 resulted in an increased level of terrorism in Israel. In May, only one month...

...Palestine is the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the banks of the Jordan River, plus various adjoining lands to the east and south. Many different definitions of the region have been used in the past three millennia. According to the Bible, nearly 4,000 years ago, patriarch Abraham traveled with his family from the Chaldean city of Ur - in present-day Iraq - to the land of Canaan - essentially modern-day Palestine. According to the Bible, Palestine was already populated by it's native people. The Book of Genesis says God then spoke to Abraham in Canaan, saying: "To your offspring, I will give this land". Both Arabs and Jews claim to be the descendants of Abraham. Egyptian writings refer to the region as R-h-n-u (pronounced Rechenu). Several names for the region are found in the Bible: Eretz Yisrael "Land of Israel", Eretz Ha-Ivrim "land of the Hebrews", "land flowing with milk and honey", "land that God swore to your fathers to assign to you", "Holy Land", and "land of the Lord". The portion of the land lying west of the Jordan was also called "land of Canaan" during the period in which it fell under the control of Egyptian vassals traditionally descended from Canaan the son of Ham. After the division of the Jewish kingdom into two the southern part was called "Judah" and the northern part was called "Israel". The name "Palestine" comes from the Philistine people. The Philistines (whose name is understood to mean "invaders" in Hebrew) occupied the southern coast...
