Today in class, we continued to review countries and the relationship between the United States and other countries. Today, a particular group of countries caught our eye. The Israel and Palestinian conflict has definitely caught everyone's attention this week. In 1948, Israel became an independent state. However, many of the surrounding Arab Countries did not approve of the newly formed country. When you have a Jewish country in the middle of many Arabic countries, it can create some problems. Recently, the Palestinians, an Arabic territory, have gotten fired up with the Israel, and have been launching rockets into Israel's territory. Israel did not like that, so they returned the favor, by launching rockets into their territory also. This has been a constant pattern for a while, but this week has been the worst it has ever been. Now, Israel is sending troops and tanks into the Palestinians territory, so there is a chance that there will be a war starting between the two. I just hope that the U.S does not get involved, because the U.S and Israel are good allies with each other.
Another assignment I have this weekend is to write a 500 word essay on 2 groups of countries, and how they relate to one another and the U.S in business, trade, etc.. This essay is due Monday during class, so I hope I get a good grade on it.
