My Take On the Conflict In Israel ( Braveheart of the Middle East)
Everyone has their own views and opinions in regards to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, specifically Israel and Palestine. Most people that I talk to think that we should not be involved whatsoever, and that Israelis and Hamas (Palestinian Sunni Islamic organization, with an associated military wing.Since 2007, it has governed the Gaza Strip), should fight it out on their own. They believe that it is none of our business and that we should stop trying to be world police. Now while I agree that our government does, from time to time get involved when they shouldn't, this is one fight that we have to be in. Israel represents freedom in that region, and the bottom line and the truth of the matter regardless of what the left wing media tells you, they want to live in peace with the Palestinians. They believe that they have a right to be a country there, and unlike the Palestinians, they have no problem sharing the land. In fact Israel is a bi-lingual country with over 20% of the population being Muslim. That does not include the Gaza strip or the West Bank where there is a minority Jewish population. On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly recommended the adoption and implementation of the partition plan of Mandatory Palestine. On 14 May 1948, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel," a state independent upon the termination of the British Mandate for Palestine, 15 May 1948. Neighboring Arab armies invaded Palestine on the next day and fought the Israeli forces. Israel has since fought several wars with neighboring Arab states. The roots of the conflict can be traced to the late 19th century, with the rise of national movements, including Zionism and Arab nationalism. Though the Jewish aspiration to return to Zion had been part of Jewish religious thought for more than a millennium, the Jewish population of Europe and to some degree Middle East began to more actively discuss immigration back to the Land of Israel, and the re-establishment of the Jewish Nation, only during the 1859 to 1880s, largely as a solution to the widespread persecution of Jews due to antisemitism in Russia and Europe. As a result, the Zionist movement, the modern movement for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people, was established as a political movement in 1897. Ever since then, Muslim factions have done everything they can to drive the Jews out. Fact is they would rather see their own people dead before they share the land. (which is evident with the way Hamas hides behind the Palestinian civilians). If we do nothing to help these two nations to live in peace, and the crazy raghead terrorist who want to kill all that do not live as they do, get a hold of the nukes that Israel currently hold...well then that's all folks! I believe that to stand with Israel is to stand for freedom!
