Peace-making attempts between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s.
Earlier peacemaking example from 1974 to set the stage.
Picture it: 1974, a year of hijackings and intense political plays.
Moderate PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) leaders like Yasser Arafat hinted at an idea: a ‘mini-state’ for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
Real-world example: Imagine you've always dreamt of a whole chocolate cake, but you're offered a slice instead. Some say, "Take it, it's better than nothing," while others want the entire cake or nothing at all.
The venue: United Nations. The man: Yasser Arafat.
Core message: Palestinians = people without a home ๐ , many still in refugee camps even 25 years later.
Gaining Sympathy Points: Arafat came with both peace and fight symbols - an olive branch ๐ฟ (peace) and a gun ๐ซ (freedom fighter).
Fun Fact: Arafat left his gun outside, but made sure everyone saw his holster. Drama level ๐ฏ!
His words: "Today I have come bearing an olive branch [a symbol of peace] and a freedom fighter’s gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand."
UN's reaction: ๐๐ but... no immediate peace.
