Struggling for a Homeland

                  The Arab-Israeli Conflict


         
            Our lives seem to be filled with struggle.  We struggle to pay the bills, the rent, the car insurance, the tuition.  We struggle to get it all done in our hustle and hurry lives.  What we as Americans often fail to realize is that half a world away, two peoples, the Palestinian Arabs and the Israeli Jews, are struggling for a homeland.
            In a recent survey of 100 college students, only 38% knew that the Israelis and Arabs were fighting over the land of Palestine, 25% knew Palestine was divided to provide a homeland for the Jews, and only 4% knew that Benjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel.  (Survey taken November 1997.)
            Perhaps the complexity of the Arab-Israeli conflict accounts for the lack of knowledge about this issue.  We hope that this web site proves interesting and informative as we try to increase awareness and understanding about the Arab-Israeli conflict.
