Research Proposal

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a war that has been raging on for decades. The Israel claims that Palestine is part of their territory and is trying to reclaim it. Palestine is refuting Israel claims and is defending  themselves. This war has been a one-sided battle in favor of Israel however there doesn't seem to be an end it sight. Which side is right, Israel or Palestine?

I will try to answer this question by using information that I can find. I will try to remain unbiased and hopefully gather enough information and descriptions to form an opinion. I will search for information through the internet. I will preferably look for news site and try to avoid biased websites. On the internet there are a lot of opinions so I will have to tread carefully. I want to bring both sides of the argument. I will also discuss the history and current events of the conflict.

I hope through my research paper I will be able to help people form their own opinions. I want to bring awareness to this conflict. Not enough people know about what is going on. I myself only know only a little bit of information. I hope to attract people who are unaware of what is going on. By showing people maybe they can spread the word as well. If they do not spread the word, at least they’ll be informed.  As well as people who do not know a whole lot about the situation. Not a lot of people know about this conflict.
