<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one of the most significant conflicts of our era. Not in terms of loss of human lives (the Syria and Yemen conflict have lost more human beings from conflict in recent years). It is significant because of the amount of daily political and media exposure it receives in western countries. It is significant for those who have loved ones (regardless from what background) living in the region. It is significant for those who seek to ensure the international community upholds principles that are fair and just to all parties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This blog is an attempt to show that peace is possible for Palestinians; Palestinian citizens and residents of Israel; and Jewish-Israelis. The hope is that each community will be able to be brave and fearless in addressing wrongs committed in the past, and to work towards building a community for all in the region.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The thesis (and my subsequent writings) seeks to understand fundamental reasons for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and outlines a model for its resolution.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: bold;">The bottom line of this blog:</span><br />
<!--StartFragment--> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 5.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 5pt 10pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are about 14 million human beings in this region that we know as the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan Heights and Israel. My hope is that peace can be found for all our fellow human beings regardless of their background. Part of this process involves acknowledging how we have inflicted violence on another. This is the process of truth and reconciliation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 5.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 5pt 10pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each nation has their stories that we would prefer to keep quiet - 'our skeletons in the closet' -especially when it comes to nation-state creation stories. As an Australian I am aware of European atrocities towards First Nations people of Australia. Yes too I am aware of First Nations violence against Europeans, the point is when I went to school the history I was taught misrepresented the circumstances of the events from 1788-1988. It was not until 1988 with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Bicentenary">bicentenary</a> in Australia that it became mainstream for teachers to teach about European <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_wars">invasion</a></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_wars"> </a>rather than <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">settlement. </span>It was not until 1992 that our courts in the case of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabo_v_Queensland">Mabo</a></span> overruled the 'terra nullius' doctrine that Australia was an empty land 'a land with no people' doctrine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 5.0pt; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 5pt 10pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Similarly, Israel and Palestinians too are not blameless and have their own skeletons. However, Israel as the militarily and economically stronger power needs to acknowledge that occupying another people as they have done since 1967 and blaming Palestinians for the war and their dispossession in 1948 only fuels violence against Israel and only hurts their loved ones and their families who are sent to enforce the military occupation each year. Similarly Palestinian leadership which fails to teach the necessity to end violent attacks within Israel or fail to teach children about the trauma of the Holocaust undermines steps towards establishing a sense of peace and security for Jewish-Israelis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-weight: bold;">Summary of the thesis</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The primary thesis here advanced is that violent inter-group conflict, such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, will continue while fundamental psychological and structural obstacles exist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overcoming these obstacles requires the development of 'psychological bridges'. These psychological bridges or conciliatory qualities when applied at the individual and societal level enable the fundamental needs and fears of each party to be addressed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The <a href="http://palestineisraelresolutionscrt.blogspot.com/">first chapter </a>provides an overview of conflict resolution theory, a broad discipline which has developed from psychology, sociology, anthropology, politics, history and law. The results show conflict resolution is traditionally viewed through the paradigms of realism, legalism or idealism. The conclusion of the first chapter is that idealism holds the key to conflict transformation and reconciliation whilst realism and legalism only serve to ‘manage’ conflict. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The <a href="http://palestineisraelsolutionshumanneeds.blogspot.com/">second chapter </a>proposes a general method for conflict resolution. Violent conflict is argued to be a consequence of fundamental need deprivation as such this chapter identifies eight fundamental human needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fundamental need system developed in this chapter is based on four fundamental rational needs: control, security, justice and rational stimulation; and four fundamental emotional needs: esteem, meaning, identity and emotional stimulation. What this chapter develops is that the attainment of these fundamental needs provides a sense of peace and reconciliation for an individual. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second part of chapter two identifies that the attainment of these fundamental needs requires the overcoming of psychological obstacles which are enabled by psychological bridges. Those psychological bridges include five fundamental conciliatory qualities: hope or a belief in the possibility of conflict resolution; empathy of the ‘other’; nonviolent or inclusive worldviews; and the action of building trust—as evidenced by cooperation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third part of chapter two identifies the necessity to implement within the structures of society those factors which encourage fundamental need satisfaction. These changes are required within the social, political, religious, legal and economic systems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The <a href="http://palestineisraelresolvingtheconflict1.blogspot.com/">third chapter </a>provides practical approaches to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This chapter outlines issues relating to the fundamental needs of meaning, identity, control, security and justice. Analysis is made of agreed and contentious political positions on the issues of security, settlements, Jerusalem, refugees and water, as well as religious, educational and economic issues.The chapter concludes that the Israeli leadership only superficially demonstrates a movement towards peace. The evidence of a the West Bank Wall built beyond the Green Line, continuation in settlement expansion by Israel highlights that the tried and tested expansionist approach of ‘getting facts on the ground’ is preferable as it advances future bargaining power. Secondly this chapter concludes that the Palestinian community needs to address elements which perpetuate threats and breaches of security within the Israeli Jewish community.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The <a href="http://palestineisraelconclusions.blogspot.com/">final chapter </a>makes a number of research implications which include commenting on the gap between theory and practice on successive Israeli government’s approach to settlements within the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This chapter also identifies the need for future research to provide further evidence for the general method of conflict resolution developed in chapter two. Research is also suggested for a number of aspects of the fundamental needs of the Jewish, Palestinian and Arab communities’. In particular recommendation is made for further tests of the hypothesis that resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli-Arab conflict requires Arab and Palestinian assurance that the Jewish community will enjoy security in the region. </span><br />
