In fact, according to Abba Eban (1999), author of over half a dozen historical reference books on Jewish history as well as the PBS television series “Civilization and the Jews,” “Solomon’s Temple was the crowning glory of a building program that rivaled those of the Pharaohs” (p. 50). Archaeologists claim to have found remnants of Solomon’s Temple as well in the form of a tablet dated…

Der Ewige Fude (“The Eternal Jew” a hate propaganda film created by the Nazis). [. . . ] A Palestine who murdered innocent Israelis was in our reports a terrorist- which he unsurely was- while an Israeli who murdered 29 innocent Palestinians in a Hebron mosque was merely an extremist, a zealot or [. . .] a member of the Jewish underground (Hurley 127)?…

Map of the Holy Land (see attached sheet) All the parts are labeled according to the required colors.

Rough Draft #1 What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “chivalry”? For myself, the image of knights riding their trusty steed to go save a damsel in distress. But it is no longer the medieval period, so this no longer applies. Especially now that women have fought for equality and are just as equal as men.

On January 1, 1808, congress prohibited the importation of slaves. One year earlier in 1807, the UK abolished the slave trade. Solomon Northup was born July 10th, 1808. With the trade of slaves illegal, but slavery legal in some states, slave catchers had to find a new way to get slaves.

cities, both sides do receive at least some access to cities. This will have to be a compromise that the Palestinians will have to live with because they do get Nablus, though they receive the short end of the stick. The UN receives Jerusalem and Hebron so as to allow people to be dependent on a city other than Jerusalem and provide a fair number of cities to this…

As every freshman when I first entered Hebron High School in fall of 2012, I was eager to finally be out of middle school finally enter the last part of schooling. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that this was just the beginning to the worst milestone in my life. My mother had been diagnosed with…
