ABSTRACT

This article focuses on the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is more than a century old. Palestinians and other Arabs have never been willing to accept a Jewish state. It is the fate of Israel to see exactly how the Muslim world can come to terms with modernity and democracy. Over 400 Israelis have been killed during the conflict. Palestinian casualties are much higher. Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accepts that this is war. Many sections of the media have said that Sharon's tactics are flawed.
