Articles

I thought that these two articles together were very interesting and informative. I knew a bit of this information before reading but these articles went much more in depth. Something I found particularly interesting was how the protestors in Egypt pulled down the Israeli flag. This symbolizes the end of 31 year alliance. They claim that they will "maintain peace" but it seems that they clash on a few of their ideals. It's quite possible that conflict revolving around Israel and Palestine could result in a global conflict on the scale of a third world war, which, with modern technology, could be devastating. The main conflict revolves around Palestine which is a nation within Israel, containing Jerusalem. There's much conflict over Jerusalem which many relgions consider to be their holy land. Within the next few weeks the United Nations is going to take a vote as to whether or not Palestine will become an independent nation with East Jerusalem as their capital. The potential consequences could be devastating.
