The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is controversial in nature. With a violent past, present, and most likely future, this conflict is often debated by policymakers in the United States, United Nations, and European Union. More recently, Presidents Clinton and Bush have both made efforts to oversee peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians with the hope of decreasing violence. Repeated conflicts in the region make negotiations increasingly difficult. Since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli War in 1949, the Six-Day War in 1967, the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the First Lebanon War in 1982, and the First and Second Intifadas have usually resulted in Israel gaining additional territory and increasing tensions and disputes in the region. One aspect of the unresolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians that fuels animosity is propaganda. Like other opposing sides in the history of twentieth-century wars and conflicts, propaganda serves as a useful tool for both Israelis and Palestinians as their respective governments and leaders seek to motivate people for their cause. The purpose of propaganda is to provoke feelings in a viewer or reader that will cause them to ignore the facts and act on emotions. In many cases, if a bystander sees an innocent victim in terrible circumstances or distress, basic facts and information are ignored and sympathy is felt. Both the Israeli and Palestinian sides use the strategy of provoking compassion in propaganda to further consolidate support. Palestinian propaganda has been extremely effective in winning supporters in Europe and on college campuses in the United States. An example of this is an opinion poll conducted in 2011... in the middle of the paper... and Arafat has similar goals. Both seek to influence young people and inform them about the ideas, policies and goals they support and want to see implemented. In conclusion, propaganda plays an extremely important role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By influencing the media, driving the narrative, consolidating political support and, above all, winning over the youth, both the Israeli and Palestinian sides have used propaganda to ensure that each has the support it needs to increase its strength and achieve your goals. Using current events, resources and tools to influence and win over young supporters is one of the main goals of propaganda. Despite the ways and mannerisms in which propaganda is created and transmitted, both the Israeli and Palestinian sides seek to consolidate a new generation of supporters through their propaganda.
