Jane's Final Thoughts on Peace Summit

I think that some of the agreements we talked about in class are able to happen and some are not. In Promises, some Israeli kids think that the Palestinians should go away. I guess I can see from their perspective; they just want to have peace, and they think that the Palestinians are terrorizing them. However, this solution is not an agreement, in my opinion. It's not peace because the Palestinians have their culture in Israel, and they don't want to leave their culture. I think that the Israelis and the Palestinians should live as one country, not two separated by a wall and by checkpoints. Just because they are two different cultures does not mean that they can't live together. For example, in the U.S., there are many cultures: Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, etc. We don't live in separate cultures; we live as one. So should Israel and Palestine.

    I like the idea about Israelis and Palestinians living together, because then both sides can see how much they have in common and get along. I didn't think about how there are a bunch of different religions in the United States, but we still all live together.

    I think that you are right, that not everything will work. It's not fair to just give the country to one side, but it's difficult to try and get them to live together. You have good ideas and make realistic solutions. It is important in this situation to be realistic and not say "oh I think that we should just give the Palestinians a trillion dollars and tell them to get out of Israel", as of course something like that would never happen. It is also important to relate to the people who actually live there, which you did as well. Nice job!

    I love the photo, and how it represents this unit, and the goal. I learned that just because they are two different cultures does not mean that they can't live together. This is a very powerful statment, good job.

    I liked how you give us the information about what you think! I also like the ending of your paragraph.

    I love the idea as culture should be one! I learned that there are opinions and that you can't live in the same place witout being multiple cultures as one. <3 this ;)

    I think that if the two side get to know each other by living together they will make peace with each other.
