Their social analysis :  JVP believes that the reason the Israel Palestine problem is occurring is because Israeli’s came into the land while Palestinians were already living there.  They believe that the reason there is a lot of conflict about this because people don’t have a clear understanding of whose land it really belongs to.  Their understanding of the problem stems from the founders of Israel who didn’t make a clear and equal decision of what the Israeli state should be like.

4. Their solutions and strategies.  JVP believes that one way to fix this problem is by putting pressure on countries, like the U.S., with power to assist with the problem through means financial assistance.  They also believe that putting pressure on Israeli’s and Palestinian’s to stop fighting would help too.  They also believe that by joining Jewish voice for peace and donating monthly it could help stop the problem by expanding awareness.

7.
