The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the day the state of Israel declared independence, days ahead of the official end to the British Mandate in Palestine in 1948. While there were some minor conflicts and skirmishes between the Arabs and the Jews prior to 1948, those ongoing tensions erupted into a full civil war and countless bloody battles that have claimed the lives of many innocent people and have dominated the international political arena for over seven decades.…

There has been several stabbing incidents by Palestinians against Israelis, which began in early October. Palestinians have attacked Jerusalem and central and northern Israel, and in the West Bank. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians began due to the two communities clashing at Jerusalem, the holy site in September. On October 18, 2015, an Israeli soldier was killed, along with many others wounded, during a gun and knife attack at a bus station located in the city of Beersheva.…

underwent drastic changes. These changes came following the defeat of a coalition of Arab nations in war against Israel known as the June War. In the June War Israel conquered territory from both Jordan and Egypt known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip respectively in which the majority of Palestinian people lived.

Scott Mccloud’s discussion in Chapter 7 identifies comics as one of the various forms of “self-expression and communication” (Mccloud 162). Mccloud elaborates on his ideology by denoting art is anything that does not involve reproduction or survival (Mccloud 165). For example, making music or dancing is not imperative for our survival, however they strengthen our mental statues and overall health (i.e. exercise). Lastly, Scott states there are six steps that every work in every medium will…

A mix of religion and politics is what hardens Hamas as it allows them to win the hearts of the Palestinian people. Since Hamas governs by the doctrine of Islam and are helping to end Israeli occupation it comes as no surprise that the population highly approves of them despite their acts of violence and crimes. Hamas uses religion to push political messages. Just looking at Article 6 of their Covenant, explains exactly how they mix religion and politics. Furthermore, the preamble clearly…

Political cartoons during the late 19th century Gilded Age revealed, on a large scale, key issues at stake throughout the era. These drawings flourished in the 1860s due to advances in new technology of mass circulation and because people of all kinds; young, old, black, white, educated, illiterate could interpret the intense meaning from the artists. Cartoonists emerged by the names of Thomas Nast from Harper’s Weekly, Joseph Kepper of Puck, Frank Beard, Eugene Zimmerman, Grant Hamilton, etc.…

This paper will aim to consider and analyze these areas within the comic through the critical approach of narratology, with some assistance from the cognitive approach. First, let’s talk about our narrator. For most of the comic, our narrator is Suzie.…

World war two ended in September 2, 1945, however, this was not the complete end of all the battles. The post-war was a time of more conflicts such as juvenile delinquency and civil rights for equality in the United States. There was racial tension between blacks and whites that caused complications for both parties.
