Ethnic groups in the Arab League

the Arabs have perceived and reproduced the world around them accordingly (Barakat 1993). Such imageries and fictive genealogies are not exclusively found among the Arabs. In a similar fashion, Benjamin Disraeli, the leading Tory statesman and prime minister under Queen Victoria, has projected his Semitic pride by claiming the Arabness of the Jews. Disraeli considered the Jews to be an “Arabian tribe,” and the Arabs to be “only Jews upon horseback” (Kalmar 2005: xxxi). He claimed that the Arabs and the Jews are a favored race destined to receive divine…

1 The Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria are not located in an "occupied territory." The last binding international legal instrument which divided the territory of Israel, Judea, Samaria and Gaza was the League of Nations Mandate, which explicitly recognized the right of Jewish settlement in all territories allocated to the Jewish national home under the Balfour Declaration. These rights under the British Mandate were preserved by the successor organization to the League of Nations, the…

land to two different ethnic, cultural and religious groups. The British government offered an independent state of Palestine to the Jewish people through the Balfour Declaration. The Balfour declaration is essentially the British Government giving full support for an independent state of Palestine to be a home for the Jewish people. During the dispute about who gets an independent state of Palestine, the Jewish people declared independence of the state Palestine region and thus creating a state…

culturally diverse groups have been formed that have an effect on many countries and the people living in them. Not only has terrorism killed and harmed thousands around the world over the years but has also affected the natives living in the very areas they live in. For example, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan are just a few bases for terrorist groups located in the Middle East. Groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda have caused harm around the world, but America has put their say in this war…

The citizens of Iran, Iraq, and Israel are victims of their government’s inability to establish peace and stability in the region. The United States’ answer to why peace is not a viable outcome in the Middle East is the lack of democracy in the countries that have the most influence. On the surface that may seem like a legitimate reason but the United States’ understanding of the cultural differences in the Middle East is apparent with the debacle in Iraq. Democracy is not the solution in the…

Assad and his officials have already proven that they are ruthless, power hungry, and capable. If they are to successfully smother the ambitions of the rebellion, they will not simply stop there. They will rise up beside their chief allies – Iran and Hezbollah, a militant Islamic Lebanese organization- to continue to act upon their cruel vendettas of ethnic, religious, and political purification that are directly opposed to the goals of democratic and civil rights groups. A significant factor of…

the Ottoman Empire’s attack in 1915, Britain further increased its presence in Egypt under the command of General Edmund Allenby. By maintaining an efficient supply line to Egypt, the British were able to hold their ground against the Ottoman Empire in Egypt until the Armistice of Mudros in 1918. Subsequently, the Ottoman Empire disbanded into six states, and Britain continued to maintain control over Egypt and a number of Arabic-speaking countries for an unspecified amount of time.…

brutal in the Arab world, so brutal that it was believed to be the only Muslim country without an active Islamist opposition group. This corrupt regime was lead under Ben Ali, who is known for the arrest and torture of thousands of nonconformists. Repression was so great, Ali had gone to the extent of shutting down the internet under his rule. The Arab unrest that started in Tunisia reached Syria in 2011, where protests began with the torture of students who graffitied an anti-government…

wasn’t a solid foundation for a country as Bangladesh won independence, disregarding Muslim unity in exchange for inter-ethnic conflict. To counter-act insecurities and strife caused by the growing realization that a Muslim identity might not be strong enough to keep the diverse ethnicities from falling apart a stronger tie to Islam was established with Zia-ul-Haq’s…
