Palestine
How would you feel if someone came in your home, took over and kicked you out? Surely, no one would like that feeling. Worse than that, that certain someone found it morally acceptable to be doing such an act and everyone was supporting him. The aforementioned scenario is the simplest version of the state that Palestinians are in today. Their situation is present on a larger and much more gruesome and violent scale. The best solution to this conflict is that justice should be done with Palestine. The history, current problems and possible solution will be discussed below.
The British empire the controlled Palestine in the years from 1918 to 1947. They had worked to seize Palestine from the Turks subsequent to which they were ruling the area. At time, the Arab population significantly over numbered the Jews which clearly indicated that the Palestine land belonged to Arab Muslims. (Cleary 6). The Jews of the area however turned to the British since they wanted a land they could call their own. (Cleary 5)
Ever since the first partition that occurred in Palestinian, they have not been treated fairly. First and foremost, Palestinians were the native settlers of the land. The major fact is that the name Palestine was of Palestine. Israel was created afterwards when the Jews realized they needed to invade it. The first resolution that was passed in 1947 was unjust because it did not even discuss the matter with the Palestinians. The Palestinians at that time constituted 90% of the entire population of the country. With a ratio of 9:1, the division of land should have been in this proportion. Yet, that is not what happened. The division was done by giving 56% of the land to Jews which consisted of the fertile areas. The remaining 43% of the land was given to the Palestinians who got the mountainous and non-fertile land. ("Palestinian Refugees," 2) Even if we rely at the earliest division of land, it seemed outright unfair. Due to these assertions, this partition plan was rejected by the Arab world right when it was proposed. Following that the civil war continued and as more and more Jewish kept immigrating into Palestine, their strength kept increasing more. The process of Radicalization where more and more Jewish wealth came into Palestine thus increasing its numbers and strength in return, (Kedourie and Haim, 53) By 1934, the total number of new Jews in the area had totalized to be about 52, 359. (Kedourie and Haim, 53) These numbers show that the Jews were the settlers where as Palestinians were natives. The Palestinians were taken over hence their claims stand more valid over Jews. Even after the massive influx of the Jews, the demographic ratios favored Palestinians as mentioned earlier.
Approximately 3.9 million Palestinians are residing in the West Bank and in Gaza along with the 4.6 million who are residing in other countries. (Miller and Samuels) The conditions in which these people are residing in aren't very favorable ones. The Palestinians who are residing under Jewish control and surely oppressed and tormented. The conditions aren't much different for those living in Arab countries. With the passage of many government plans and policies, the Palestinians have been destroyed in the middle. About 250, 000 Palestinians were forced to leave the Gulf States and Kuwait for supporting Sadam Hussein. In 2001, the government in Lebanon sated that the Palestinians could not own property. Regardless of how educated they were; Palestinian people could not work in respectable careers like doctors, lawyers and many others. (Miller and Samuels) Many other examples can be given from neighboring Arab countries that should have been sympathetic towards the emigrated Palestinians. Maybe the Jews got their land but on what cost did that occur? The Palestinians got displaced; their rights to a peaceful life and liberty were taken away from them. They deserve a state of their own.
In 1949, the UN made the UNRWA which stands for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency to deal with the 650,000 Palestinian refugees. Unfortunately, tithe UNRWA has been faced with revenue cuts and strikes. The employees of the committee aren't well paid and thus can't provide the services to the Palestinians as they should. Thus, any 'efforts' that were meant to make lives for Palestinians easier have not occurred as such. (Miller and Samuels) It has been proposed that the children of the refugees have been given the status of refugees as well. This led the efforts to be dismantled more that the...
That was a term that was used only later by historians and others that talked about that particular period of time in German history (Kolb, 2004). Those who were involved with the Republic called it the German Reich (Peukert, 1993). From the point of creation of the Republic, Germany was launched into an experiment in modernity that did not turn out the way that they hoped it would. Part of
So-called n-person games include more than two actors or sides….The central problem is that the rational decision for an individual actor such as a state may be to 'defect' and go it alone as opposed to taking a chance on collaboration with another state actor" as did Israel and the ascent of the Likud after Arafat's refusal of the 2000 peace deal (Beavis 2010). Yet saber-rattling no longer seems
Israel was created after the war in 1948, fifteen percent of the population was made up of Palestinian Arabs (Stendel, 1997). While that would seem like a small group, they actually had spread out and held onto significantly more than fifteen percent of the territory. They were given suffrage rights immediately, with the creation of the state of Israel, and over time they were able to also attain citizenship
Interview With an Immigrant Profile of the Interviewee The immigrant who was interviewed for this paper is John Smith (not his real name). He is a twenty-nine-year-old male immigrant of Pakistani origin who lives in New York. Both his parents are from Pakistan but settled in the United Arab Emirates after their marriage.

For instance, the U.S. can use drones with the purpose of filming exact instances involving Assad's men violating human rights. Considering that "the Syrian government isn't just fighting rebels, as it claims; it is shooting unarmed protesters, and has been doing so for months" (Sniderman & Hanis), it is only safe to assume that immediate action needs to be taken in order for conditions to change. Children are dying at
Media Control in Egypt The media in Egypt is much more controlled than in many other countries, including the United States. That control began with President Gamal Abdel Nasser, moved through Anwar Sadat, and then on to Hosni Mubarak. During that time, the television and newspapers were strictly controlled, and only what the president wanted people to see was placed in them. There is significant evidence that the control of the
