// War Literature

The topic that I want to focus on for my final paper is in regards to tensions between Palestine and Israel–past, present, and where it is likely to lead to. I plan on including a brief history (biblical and theoretical) on the basis of the conflict between Jews and Arabs; this will provide a synopsis on each side’s argument. I also plan on including an overview of how political figured have “fed the flame” to this battle between religions and what the current political stance is within each country. Since this is a literature of war class, I think that it is only right to include information on military influence on everyday citizens of both Palestine and Israel. Unlike our country, it is very common for men with machine guns to walk around the streets in these countries with what is arguably good intentions. I’m not sure if this is going to be too much information, but I hope to spend a paragraph or two addressing the impact that this has on everyday people as well. I will conclude my paper with a personal opinion of where this current conflict is likely to lead both the Palestinians and the Israelis, as well as whether or not it really is all worth it (or something along those lines).
