Violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict 2005

In Israel and Palestine, grownups have been fighting and hurting each other for a very long time. They are fighting because they both want the same land to live on. In 2005, there was a lot of violence between the two sides. This means that people were shooting guns, throwing bombs, and hurting each other with weapons.

Many innocent people, including children, were hurt or killed in the violence. People on both sides were angry and scared. They did not know how to solve the problem and stop the fighting.

Some people in the world tried to help and find a solution. They talked to both sides and tried to make them understand that fighting is not the answer. They asked them to work together and be peaceful. After a lot of talking and hard work, they made a plan called the Oslo Accords. This plan was supposed to help the Israelis and Palestinians live together in peace, but it did not work out as they had hoped.

The violence continued for many years and still happens today. It is important for everyone to remember that violence and hurting each other is never the answer. It is much better to talk and find a peaceful solution so that everyone can live together in harmony.
