Middle East Crisis

After reading these two articles, it almost seems like Israel is being picked on. Even though Israel may not be liked by Egypt, Turkey, and Palestine for good reasons, one being their attack on Turkey’s ship heading to aid Palestine, Israel feels “isolated”. In the article by Ethan Bronner he explains how “traditionally, many Arab leaders have used Israel as a convient scapegoat”. They are being used to solve other countrys conflicts. And the worst part is, is that they are now dragging the United States into this. Also, in the second article, joining the UN for Palestine has its cons and its pros. If they were to join, Israel would not approve and huge conflict would evolve but they would also be supported by the UN which is what Palestine has needed for a while now. On the flip side, if they don’t join the UN, the struggle between Palestine and Israel will remain the same but not be as serious and they would get no support from the UN.
