dc.description.abstract<p>Nearly a century has passed, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is still the most prominent conflict in the world. This conflict has yet to be resolved, and the turmoil keeps on continually. The Palestinians and the Israelis have different paradigms of grasping all issues related to the conflict. For an outsider trying to understand the conflict, it becomes very vital to understand the two perspectives of the disagreement. Many factors contribute to the differences of understanding the conflict on both sides: The Arab and Muslims share the same views and interpretation of the conflict which is based primarily on their history and religions. On the other hand, the American public knowledge of the conflict is influenced by; the media, education, and politics. The media has fueled anti-Arab, ant-Muslim and stereotypical feelings of terrorism, dress modesty, the hijab, etc. Lack of true image of Arabs and Muslims in the school curricula triggers stereotypes of these two groups among the new generations. In addition, the religion of the average American, which is based on Zionism, has convinced them to one side of the dispute.</p>en
