You may have read other blogs about this, but we are on this topic in IB history so why don't I post this too. From the information I have learned so far in history I can't choose a side. We have had speakers from both sides tell very different stories and packets from both sides. Jews have been pushed around throughout history and don't wish for any trouble. Arabs have had much taken away from them for no reason other than others sympathy for Jews. It's a long lasting struggle in which is difficult to solve. The U.S. is on the Israeli side for our only good relation with the middle east and similar views on government. Therefore I will blindly follow my government. #murica
Blindly following a government which will default on it's debts on the 17th. Smaarrrtttt. I think that the way everything went down was horrid (so, is this what happens when we let white people decide what happens with land? jkjk). I think that they should open up the whole israel/palestine area to both sides, however since the israelis are worried about becoming a minority if that happens, keep the country titles as israel/palestine, however let the palestinians move back into israeli land without citizenship, however let the israelis keep official documents on them for the sake of security. #runonswag
ReplyDeleteSpencer, Your use of humor and images is effective and edgy throughout the blog. You are getting close to asking some important knowledge questions. Try to frame them in terms of abstractions not just the highly specific examples that illustrate them.
ReplyDeleteAnd a word about audience/ content appropriateness. Just keep in mind this is a public document. I read it. Any future employer or college admission counselor might read it. Anyone in the community could read it. Make sure this maintains an "academic" purpose (that was clear in the assignment). And that it creates the ethos you want the world to have access to.
