The Authority

The Intifada is a Palestinian uprising in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. In December 1987 an outbreak of violent eruptions broke out. It was caused by the feud between the Palestinians and Israelis. The reasons why this happened were that the Palestinians were frustrated with Israeli concern, the war in 1973 caused hostilities, and the Israelis settlement policy was traumatic (Beitler). It had been 20 years under Israeli control for the Gaza Strip and West Bank and the Palestinians began to feel…

The Co-Curricular I attended was a presentation given by Professor Daniel Kurtzer on the possibility of Israeli Palestinian peace. Despite a lifetime working to bring peace to the middle east with no definitive solution passing, Professor Kurtzer still remains optimistic about the chances of peace between Palestine and Israel. That’s not to say he did not acknowledge the difficulties that exist in solving the middle east crisis. Destabilization has existed within the middle east for decades, and…

The main purpose of Milgram’s experiment was to study the conflict between authority and obedience and the role personal consciences plays in this situation (Obedience, 2016). The experiment was to see how far people were willing to go to follow an instruction given by someone with authority, even if it involved hurting other people (Milgram’s, 2004). I believe that Milgram’s study taught us numerous things about the way people obey others in today’s time. He determined that people obey others…

Congress and the president have been complex if not complicated. The Constitution intended for there to be a balance between the two branches. However, there is only so much discretionary authority Congress allows the president to have at a given time. This paper will analyze the extent of discretionary authority Congress will grant to the president, the congressional delegation of power within the executive branch, and the difference between institutional theory of delegation based on…

I/ Introduction: This paper was commissioned by Ms Xiang Gao, a lecture at International Pacific College (IPC). Its purpose is to examine and analyse the conflict between Palestine and Israel in Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Palestine can be considered the most intractable conflict in the world. This conflict has been started since the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Israel is the country, which is the only Jewish state in the world. It locates in the East of the…

The Palestinian/Israeli conflict is an ethical issue that has been going on for half of a century. It has affected many innocent lives and there is no sign of this issue being solved in the near future. The Palestinian/Isreali conflict correlates into International law in many ways. State sovereignty is one of the principal ways in which this issue relates to international law. Palestine wishes to be be recognized as a state, wishes for sovereignty and wants to be their own country. Not all…

The right of return for the Palestinians is still an ongoing discussion, whether the Palestinians deserve to come back, or the Israelis will let them come back. During the Arab - Israeli War 800,000 Palestinians were forced to flee due to the conflict. The Israelis were going into Palestinian cities and forcing them to leave, while other Palestinians left before the Israelis came. Nearby countries and territories like Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank set up…

More than 60 years ago, the State of Israel was created following a United Nations resolution. Immediately after its establishment until today, the country and its neighbors have experienced a terrible conflict. Yet, opportunities to expect a stabilization or peace have already been presented. Several factors have combined their effects to give birth to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the creation of the State of Israel and the Nakba, which constituted a crucial moment. At the end of…

Countries and Territories The Gaza Strip Geography The Gaza Strip geography has changed several times through the years (see Appendix B). The territory is located in the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and borders on the southwest with Egypt and with Israel on the east and north (The World Factbook, 2016). Political and Legal Factors The Gaza Strip’s governance is carried out by the Hamas Administration. Gaza’s current Prime Minister is Ismail Haniyeh (The World Factbook, 2016). Economic…

Another main difficulty in the region is the settlements built by Israel in Palestinian lands. Israel continues to build small communities, or settlements in the region of the West Bank, which continues to anger many Palestinians, namely Hamas. There are some who believe that these settlements may violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, which relates to the stability of citizens during times of war (Beauchamp). Alternatively, however, others believe that they may not actually be in violation,…
