RELIGIOUS CLAIMS TO LAND Mount Moriah: Is a Jewish holy site Where Abraham, one of their founding fathers almost sacrificed his son. Mount Zion: considered holy to Muslims, and Jews, they say it is the burial site of King David The land in this area is commonly referred to in both Islamic, and Jewish holy books. OBSTACLES TO PEACE Both Islam and Judaism were founded in this region resulting in holy sites from both religions. Palestinians, have lived there traditionally, but Israelis have more allies and weapons. WORKS CITED "CLAIMS TO JERUSALEM." Shalom Jerusalem.

Both sides have terrorists Israelis don’t have very many big groups but the Palestinians have big parties the hammas is a big one There are a lot more terrorism groups on the Palestinian side. ATTEMPTS AT PEACE A wall was put up to separate the different religions so this would not happen but it turned out that most of the people were more effected with it than with out to it would block school ways work ways and separate families. Goals are to erase the other religion doing what ever they needed to. Objects that stand it the way are ignorance and the hate on the other group. WORK CITED "Middle East Terrorism."

SOLUTION FOR PEACE We would cut the country in half with Jerusalem as the boundary The boundary isn’t straight, it’s adaptive according to people’s land so they’re not cut in half Jerusalem is a neutral city SOLUTION FOR PEACE Have people move to live with their family. The government has to subsidize the price of their land, and houses.
