Politics of Israel

War One was discussed. This chapter focused on the states that were created by the decree of Great Britain and France. Gelvin focuses on the states that were created in the Levant and Mesopotamia. The states created are present-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq. The process in which these states were constructed was by the mandated power of Great Britain and France, and they were created in ways that benefited the Britain and France not the local population. To begin with,…

of believers, is called a “virgin” in the New Testament — never a widow. Israel, however, distinct from The Church, is often pictured as a widow in scripture. (see Lam. 1:1; Isaiah 54:4; cf. 2 Cor. 11:2). Contextually, the period leading up to the time of Christ’s return is called the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble (Jer. 30:7). The war that starts this troubling time will be an assembly of Muslim nations that attack Israel. At that time, the nation…

all Israelites truly belong to Israel, and not all of Abraham’s children are his true descendants”. In this seemingly obscure statement, Paul establishes the differences between the Jews of the old and outdated covenant and the new Jewish Christians (at this point, they are not yet referred to Christians yet). Through his reference to Abraham and his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, Paul establishes Isaac, the younger son who was born through promise, as the “new Israel” while Ishmael is considered…

how the Israel and Palestine conflict began. They each firmly believe that if you’re not with us in Religion you 're against. This means you are automatically…

The Holocaust In the middle of World War Two, in German occupied Poland, with the Holocaust starting to form, the majority of the Jewish population were executed by simple civilians as well the “ordinary men” who had been recruited into the numerous police battalions who were ordered to execute Jews on site. To some degree, the Jewish chances of survival depended on the aid of the polish civilians and the gentiles that were at just as much risk for German persecution as they were. As Niewyck…

I argue the use of different sources when looking at the history of the world is extremely useful. The reason as to why there is an importance in using other sources that might not be as credible or scientific would be because everyone sees the world differently. In the Middle East I believe in finding different accounts from old diaries to internet blogs provide the insight to the diverse region that is the middle east and helps people understand that the conflicts in the middle east is not a…

Also, the memory of the Holocaust has proven to be unbearable as it has left long lasting mental effects on the characters. The Nazi government systemically attacked and persecuted the Jews with brutal violence and sent millions of them to concentration camps. As a result, Spiegelman’s family has been traumatized and has “children of holocaust survivors growing up with the simultaneous presence and absence of the Holocaust memory in their lives” (Kohli, 2012, p. 2). In fact, “Maus is not about…

Art is a Fluidity Society is constantly changing, growing, and evolving; art is a constant. Since there were cavemen, there were prehistoric cave paintings. When people began to hunt, they began to sculpt hunting weapons and tools using solely natural resources. Once religion became a part of society, art became one of the major means of expressing religious beliefs. Art is a constant because it is natural. It is something that is instilled within us all from a very young age. When we are…

Question One: Arab Nationalism Arab Nationalism is a movement that began “after the withdrawal of Egyptian forces from Syria in 1839. Later on, Sa’ada founded the Syrian Social Nationalist Party in 1932. It was the major force in Lebanese and Syrian politics until the early 1960’s and was still operating in the 1990’s” (Palmer, pg.53) This movement rose to prominence in the 1950’s as Arab Nations began to gain independence from former colonial powers. The major principle of this movement would…

“One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca). Beautiful friendship can only be received if there is understanding between each person. The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, is about two Jewish boys living in Brooklyn, New York, towards the end of World War II era. A disagreement between two contradicting viewpoints of the same religion about the Jewish homeland and tradition is what causes a stir of emotion that becomes the basis of…
