Essays on Israelis

In December 2016, the US Secretary of State stated that, Israel would either have to be a Jewish State that does not intrude into Palestinian “land” or it should be democratic whereby Palestinians would be given equal rights as dignified citizens of one-state of Israel. This was something many Republicans and Conservatives found to be negative and Anti-American. The purpose of this paper is to argue that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be solved. This paper will use elements of persuasion to establish a case to prove that America must stay away from imposing its will on ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

The Middle East history has a high number of full-scale, inter-state wars, such as the wars due to Arab-Israeli conflicts, Yemen war, and Iran-Iraq war. The Arab-Israel conflict has two elements to it, which are the Israeli-Palestinian element and the Israeli-Arab element. At the end of the 1800s, the Promised Land was set up so that the Jewish people can overcome the anti-Semitism and persecution and the migration of Jews to the Promised Land created issues. During WWI, the British convinced the Arab Leaders to revolt against Ottoman Empire as they support Germany, in return for which the British ...

In our online lesson, we learned that the Middle East came to existence through the efforts of countries such as Russia, France, and Britain. For quite a long time, the Middle East has been the center of contentions that have had a worldwide effect. The Middle East summons immense oil assets and key conduits including the Persian Gulf. Amid the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States needed access to the oil and the conduits. Since the conclusion of the Cold War, Western countries have acted to keep local forces from meddling with ...

FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organizations) are foreign groups that the Secretary of State designates “in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)” (“Chapter 6,” 2012). The designation of FTOs is crucial to fighting terrorism and helps to curtail support for terror activities. Accordingly, section 219 provides criteria for the legal designation of FTOs. First, an organization must be foreign-based in order to be labeled as an FTO. Secondly, the group must be involved in terrorist operations or maintain “the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism” (“Chapter 6,” 2012). Thirdly, the terror activity ...

Abstract

This paper evaluates Hassan’s essay concerning suicide bombing with the aim of gaining an understanding of the phenomenon. In his discussion, Hassan offers three main explanations for the motivations behind these attacks. Initially, he argues that suicide bombers rarely suffer from mental disorders. According to the author, it is also inaccurate to refer to suicide bombers; rather they are more motivated by political reasons. Vengeance also drives some attackers. Such individuals or groups believe that injustices are being or were committed against the population they represent. As a result, if need be, they are willing to sacrifice their ...

The general assembly of UN approved an arrangement for dividing Palestine in 1947, which offered a chance for the establishment of Jewish State, as well as Arab State and Jerusalem, left under worldwide status. The Jewish and the Arab States rejected such an arrangement. The United Kingdom dropped its mandate or control on Palestine, which led to the proclamation of Israel state. As a result, the Palestinians with the help of Arab States declared war on Israel (Koops et al., 2015). Israel also fought many wars with other states; however, this paper focuses on factors causing internal conflicts within ...

Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project:

Micah, Book of Micah 1:1 attributes the authorship to Micah of Moresheth. This was during the time of the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. His visions were particularly directed at Samaria, and Jerusalem. This makes the writings current with the dates of their reigns. Thus, it would be the dates as Jotham (c. 742-735 BC), Ahaz (c. 735-715 BC), and Hezekiah (c. 742-735 BC) Micah is often referred to as the prophet of the poor, as he preached judgment against the people of Jerusalem – the city folk (Mariottini n.p.). Micah falls under the literary genre of prophetic writing. ...

United States has for decades been deeply involved in the Middle East, and particularly in the ongoing conflict between Israel and its various neighbors. This is why there is been a good deal of speculation of late as to how US policy toward Israel during a future Hillary Clinton presidency might differ from (or be similar to) that of the current Obama administration. Since leaving the State Department, Clinton has provided some indication about what her policies would be in the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. Nevertheless, a certain degree of uncertainty still exists. While there ...

One of the most elongated conflicts in the world has surely been related to the Jews and Arabs over the territory that defines the modern state of Israel. What many people fail to notice is the gravity of the conflict and how the conflict surely is not recent. What makes both the conflict and the peace process so complex between these two groups is that their cultures and religious beliefs date back thousands of years, (Jospe, R., 1995). To this end, they have many religious holy sites, for example, that are sacred to both faiths due to the territorial ...

Iran’s nuclear program is one of the most controversial issues that concern many nations, especially its neighboring Arab countries, Turkey, and Israel. Iran agreed to repudiate its ownership of weapons of mass destruction that includes chemical and biological weapons through various treaties. Iran has also ratified the NPT or the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Federation of American Scientist), which made Iran’s nuclear program a subject to IAEA’s verification. Iran’s nuclear program was initially cancelled right after the revolution in 1979, but it was revived during the latter part of war with Iraq in 1988. It has ...

Nationalism is a significant transitional power in the annals of history. Though the concept of loyalty is generally believed to be of a more contemporary vintage, theories as to the actual origins and the development of nationalism as a concept abound. Allegiance in the Arab world and the Palestinians in particular, have remained unexamined not due to lack of significance, but due to deliberate omission. Those who hold that nationalism comes about as a natural sociological process cannot sufficiently expound the segregation of the United States and Britain or the union of the English and French quarters ...

In late 1987, the Palestinian community in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip started a mass civil disturbance designed to overthrow the “occupying” Israeli forces in their territories. The rebellion, or the Intifada, was not called for or mobilized by the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) from its Tunis base; rather, the uprising is a mobilization of the general public as well as the groups and entities that were developed during the occupation of Israel in the area. The movement engaged a large number of the population, with a good number of them without ...

There is no specific country today that can be called Palestine. Instead, the area known as Palestine consists of the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The name originates from the Roman province Palaestina. Others have called the region as the Land of Israel, and is the southern area of the regions also known as Syria, Canaan and the Levant. It is acknowledged as the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. The area has also had a long and colorful history, with a multitude of tribes and peoples populating the same area. Today the area is occupied ...
