In order to fully grasp how actions made half a century ago, is able to have an impact so large on history that even today the Palestinian people are fighting for a Palestine. We have chosen to use Foucault's thoughts about power relations and Hannah Arendt’s thoughts on dignity in order to look at and analyse the power relationship between the Israeli government and the Palestinian people living on the oPt called the West Bank, further more we will be using the Danish radio programme “Arabic voices: As the Palestinians sees it” because we want to examine the conflicts young Palestinians can meet during their everyday lives.

Power, however, is an in itself. Foucault’s writings demonstrate, there may be other concepts intrinsic to the nature of the concept of government, such as freedom. Marx writings illustrate that the emergence of power in the society is preceded but not caused by hostile outbreaks of violence. He does not support the mechanism of violence as a way to obtain power. In a combination of both writings, a standpoint can only be valid depending on the logic presented in both cases.
