Israel-Palestine

**Essential Questions**:
I would say it depends on how big the beliefs is. But I don't think people can live in peace together if their beliefs and views are huge and in conflict because it would be hard to agree on same thing and can lead to worst situation than getting better. 1. opponet is equal 2. International community should help countries established self-determination, so that each countries can have their own government and freedom, and they don't have to rely on others. I don't think it's OK for the victims to become a persecutors because they haven't done any wrong. And it's not a crime to be different, why should one suffer just because they are slightly different from other. I don't think violence is justifiably because even if the access to resources is cut off, there is other peaceful way to solve the problem than using violence. That way there is more possibly to actually solve the problem. Holocaust excuse Israel from overreaching partition boundaries with Palestine..
