A boat filled to the brim with Syrian refugees beaches onto the shore of the picturesque island of Lesbos, in Greece. The refugees scramble up the rocky shoreline and into the arms of waiting Red Cross volunteers, who give bottles to wailing infants and food to the grotesquely malnourished men, women and children. These migrants have little but the clothes on their back, but yet they feel as safe as a baby bird nestled up to its mother for warmth. They face incredible oppression in their…

It’s a story as old as time itself: corrupt government mistreats citizens and unhappy citizens fight back. However, this time, a happily-ever-after ending is uncertain for the Arab people, who are in the midst of rewriting the history books. I’m referring to the Arab Spring, a powerful movement in full force with people in the Middle East/North Africa region uprising against the cruelty of their government. As the King of Prussia, it’s a disenchanting experience to see fellow regimes failing to…

risk. In fact, many countries and regions of the world are at war. 53 percent of all refugees came from Syrian Arab Republic, Afghanistan and Somalia. According the statistic of UNHCR, they submitted 103,800 refugees to 26 countries in a year. In Jordan, one third of population is…

When George W. Bush became president his policy towards Israel brought forth the idea of Palestine becoming a state on its own. President George W. Bush believed that this policy would bring the end to the fighting and ongoing and never-ending tension between Israel and Palestine. He did however understand that if we as a country could not find a solution to bring peace to those that Israel has tension with. That Israel would once again take matters into their own hands and do everything in…

It comes as no surprise that during war, there will be casualties, families will be broken up, towns will be destroyed, an entire city that was once full of lively people, will empty out as it's residents run from the war; but where will these people go? Some will have family that escaped before and paved a path that's easier to follow, others will stay in horrific conditions because they have no where to go, and the rest will try to flee to different countries, becoming refugees in nations…

Hillary Clinton played a role in the Arab-Israeli conflict in many ways.The first thing she did was she went to Palestine and listened to a speech where Palestine accuses Israel of using poisonous gas on them. Hillary Clinton has impacted this conflict by making speeches and going to the countries herself and listening to what the leaders of those countries have to say about the issues on this ongoing conflict. Hilary was a secretary of state and she wanted to help resolve this conflict as best…

Twelve million. That is the number of people currently affected by the crisis in Syria. Yet, Americans all over the country, republicans in particular, are turning their cheeks to this ongoing disaster. The main question present in the media and politics today is—Should America let the Syrian refugees in? But I think the real question to be asking is, “Why not let the Syrian refugees in?” America is supposed to be the pinnacle of freedom. America is supposed to be the “melting pot” of the world…

Gunshots. Bombs dropping. The sounds of all-encompassing death and despair. These are the sounds made on foreign soil in the Middle East.

In fact, millions of Syrians have fled their homes since the beginning of the civil war in 2011. Many more wish to escape the military terror and flee to more peaceful areas, but currently, multiple…

To begin refugees are coming from all around the world due to conflicts in their countries. most of the refugees are fleeing from syria for numerous reasons. Many of the refugees leave syria to begin new lives in a different country. There have been many conflicts going on in syria for a long time so it makes sense why people want to get out. Not everyone is just coming from syria though, refugees come from a lot of different countries (figure 1). Most of the refugees are coming from syria, but…
