The Middle East: Arab-Israeli Conflict

Question 4 • HHS MA-World History II B-CR

Which best describes the first intifada launched by Palestinians in the 1980s?

Answer
A
a series of attacks resulting in the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
B
a pathway to peace and a solution for the creation of two states
C
a political organization designed to represent the voice of the Palestinian people
D
a campaign that included boycotts, strikes, demonstrations, and attacks on Israeli soldiers

Explanation

The first intifada began in 1987 as a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation. It involved mass demonstrations, strikes, boycotts, and attacks on Israeli soldiers, so the best description is “a campaign that included boycotts, strikes, demonstrations, and attacks on Israeli soldiers.” Rabin’s assassination occurred later, in 1995, and the other choices describe peace efforts or a political organization, not the intifada itself.
