Based on what you know now, describe the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

The major part of the Arab-Israeli conflict stems from the Israelis wanting to live in the area known as Palestine/Israel and the Arabs not wanting them to live in that area.  To define the Arab-Israeli conflict, a clear definition of Arabs and Israelis needs to be defined.  I am marking the Arabs as anyone in the Middle-Eastern area who follow the Islamic religion and/or people who are of Arabic decent.  Jews will be marked as people who are from Israel and/or are Jewish.  The dynamics of the conflict stem from the belief, according to the Jews, articulating “a land without people for a people without land” and, according to the Arabs, an invading people.  A main dynamic of the conflict revolves around the religious significance of the area and the resources in the area.  By the end of October, I will know more about the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
