Most Arab leaders contest all areas of Israel. However, the only two areas that they have any serious chance of acquiring with the blessing of the international community (and through diplomacy) are the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

What is the Jewish-Arab conflict?

The Jewish-Arab Conflict is a series of violent altercations that have led to actual wars between Jews and Arabs. The most obvious source of contention these days the Arab-Israeli Conflict.However, there are numerous other historical issues such as Arabs being unapologetic for their mistreatment of Jews under Arab occupation and assuming that they treated Jews well. Jews are also bothered by the incredible barrage of Anti-Semitic rhetoric that comes from numerous Arab Muslim leaders and the lack of opposition to this garbage in the Arab communities. There are issues about how Arabs believe that they are subjected to a double-standard while Jews are not, especially as concerns integration in Europe and becoming part of international institutions.To read more about the various causes of the Jewish-Arab Conflict or a general history of its formation, please see the Related Links below.Questions:What are the causes of the Jewish-Arab Conflict?How did the Jewish-Arab Conflict start?What is the Arab-Israeli conflict about?What is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?What are the causes of the Arab-Palestinian Conflict?

How do water resources in the middle east promote both conflict and cooperation in the region?

Water resources promote conflict due to their scarcity. Every country near a source of freshwater, is very worried that this supply could be cut off and their citizens would not be able to grow crops or keep themselves hydrated. One of the less commonly discussed problems in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is the allegation by Palestinians that Israel is draining West Bank aquifers for the use of Israeli citizens. Additionally, one of the main grievances in Syria and Iraq vis-à-vis Turkey is the possible damming of the Euphrates River, which would lessen the amount of freshwater that these countries receive. As for cooperation; I am completely unaware of any serious way that water resources have led to increased cooperation in the Middle East.


What is the current conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis?

A:The current conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis is not really about religion, but about land. The Jews claim a historical right to Israel, at the same time continuing to encroach on the remnant Palestinian Territories. The Palestinians have no choice but to accept the presence of Israel within defined borders, but think of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Territories as the theft of land and a continued humiliation of their people. The League of Nations gave Britain a mandate to govern the lands west of the Jordan River after the end of the First World War. The League of Nations disintegrated as a result of the Second World War and was eventually replaced by the United Nations. When the Jews realised that Britain was moving towards granting independence to the Palestinian Mandate on a democratic single-state basis, the Jews began a program of terrorism designed to drive Britain out of Palestine. Britain handed the "problem" over to the United Nations, which initially favoured a division that provided approximately equal shares of the land to each side. After initiating a civil war in which many of the Palestinians fled the future state of Israel or were actually driven out, Israel unilaterally declared independence. For one day, 11th May 1949, Israel consented to negotiate United Nations proposals, during which time Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations, then Israel reneged on any further discussions. The Palestinians did not accept this situation, but Israeli military power has forced a change of position on the part of the Palestinian leaders.There are no doubt some Palestinians who would like to see Israel destroyed, just as there are Jews who would like to see the Palestinian Territories destroyed, but most Palestinians who continue to fight would settle for a secure territory behind secure borders. Time is on the Israeli side, as Israelis can continue to build Jewish settlements on Palestinian land as long as Israel remains the colonial power in the Territories.

Where is there a water crisis in the middle east?

There is a water crisis in pretty much every state in the Middle East. Even countries like Egypt which have a large source of freshwater in the Nile River barely have enough water to support their burgeoning populations. Water resources promote conflict due to their scarcity. Every country near a source of freshwater, is very worried that this supply could be cut off and their citizens would not be able to grow crops or keep themselves hydrated. One of the less commonly discussed problems in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is the allegation by Palestinians that Israel is draining West Bank aquifers for the use of Israeli citizens. Additionally, one of the main grievances in Syria and Iraq vis-à-vis Turkey is the possible damming of the Euphrates River, which would lessen the amount of freshwater that these countries receive.

What is the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East?

There are many Middle East conflicts, not just one.There is a general attitude that the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is the only conflict in the Middle East. The truth of the matter is that while the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is among the conflicts present in the Middle East (as are the American Invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan), it is not the sum total of conflicts in the Middle East.The majority of Middles East conflicts derive from the tribal mentality that is present in Arab States along with repression-based politics. The system as set up in numerous Arab countries, such as Libya and Iraq is that each person has sole loyalty to his tribal leader and not to a national government. As a result, these tribal leaders become their own de facto city states that go to war against each other. Sadr City in Baghdad was the most famous such micro-country. Each tribe promises its members better conditions at the expense of the conditions of a different tribe. As a result, the tribes come into direct conflict.What has typically happened in Arab National Governments is that one tribe has ascended to power and forcibly represses the other tribes to make good on its promise. This particular case is most visible in Syria where the Alawite Muslims (who make up less than 20% of the country) have ruled with an iron fist since the 1960s and made life terrible for the majority Sunni Muslims (completely without Israeli or Palestinian intervention).If more Arab countries become like Tunisia, federated states based on the sentiment of national unity, pride, and self-defense, where there is true freedom of religion and freedom of speech there may a great lessening of Middle East Conflicts. It is the deprivation of these identities and rights that results in much of the Middle East conflicts.Some Conflicts in the Middle East include:Iraqi Civil War: Shiite Tribes loyal to one Sheikh/Elder/Cleric vs. Shiite Tribes loyal to a different Sheikh/Elder/ClericIraqi Civil War: ShiitesIraqi Civil War: Shia vs. KurdIraqi Civil War: Sunni vs. KurdEgyptian Societal Conflict: Liberals vs. Nationalists vs. Islamists vs. SocialistsLibyan Tribal Conflict: (Always rotating, but typically) Cyrenacian Tribes and Fezzan Tribes vs. Tripolitanian TribesAlgerian Internal Repression: Military Junta vs. PopulationWestern Saharan Secession: Moroccan Army vs. Polisario Nationalist FrontMoroccan Government: Secularizing King vs. Islamist ParliamentLebanese Domestic Control: Unified Lebanese Army vs. HezbollahLebanese Palestinian Refugee Management: Lebanese Militias vs. Palestinian RefugeesSyria-Lebanon Interference: Syrian Spies and Hezbollah vs. Lebanese PoliticiansSyrian Internal Repression: Resistance Arab Spring Fighters vs. Government forces of Bashar al-Assad --> Syrian Civil WarDispute of Hatay Province: Turkish Government vs. Syrian GovernmentEastern Turkey: Turkish Army vs. PKK and Kurdish RebelsGazan Conflict: Israeli Army vs. Hamas and Islamic JihadOccupation of the West Bank: Israeli Army vs. Palestinian CiviliansIntifada: Palestinian Terror Organizations vs. Israeli CiviliansGolan Heights Occupation: Israeli Government vs. Syrian GovernmentSaudi Political Repression: King of Saudi Arabia vs. Population (especially Women and Minorities)Saudi Religious Repression: Wahhabi Clerics vs. Population (especially Women and Minorities)Yemeni Civil War: Arab Spring Fighters vs. Presidential RegimeOmani Rebellion: Arab Spring Protesters vs. Sultan of OmanKuwait National Struggle: Kuwaiti Immigrants vs. Emir and Parliament of KuwaitIranian Intervention in Iraq: Iranian Al-Kuds Forces vs. Iraqi Politicians and CiviliansIranian Political Repressions: Mullahs and the Iranian Army vs. ProtestersIranian Ethnic Repressions: Iranian Central Government vs. Turks, Turkmen, Balochs, Azeris, Kurds, and many other minorities.
