Table of content

Intro & Context ๐ŸŒŸ

  • Peace-making attempts between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s.

  • Earlier peacemaking example from 1974 to set the stage.

1974 - A Step Towards Peace ๐ŸŒˆ

  • 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.

Yasser Arafatโ€™s UN Speech, 1974 ๐ŸŽ™

  • The venue: United Nations. The man: Yasser Arafat.

  • Core message: Palestinians = people without a home ๐Ÿ , many still in refugee camps even 25 years later.

  • Gaining Sympathy Points: Arafat came with both peace and fight symbols - an olive branch ๐ŸŒฟ (peace) and a gun ๐Ÿ”ซ (freedom fighter).

  • Fun Fact: Arafat left his gun outside, but made sure everyone saw his holster. Drama level ๐Ÿ’ฏ!

  • 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: ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ but... no immediate peace.
