Palestine

leadership roles in Israel work together to protect and serve the people by teaching them survival skills. The Middle East has been a tinderbox almost since the beginning of time due to original sin.

After reading the comic Palestine by Joe Sacco, it is evident to me that human life is not universally valued. Prior to reading this, I knew that there is a ocean of messed up things that are happening in this world. I watched a documentary on healthcare in the United States vs. health care in Europe.

The rise of hip hop music can only be understood in the context as emerging the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
