Who should really have the possession of the city of Jerusalem, the Jews or the Palestinians?
Who doesn't ask that question (that knows of the issue, of course). I personally, this is through a fourteen year old's perspective and I'm sure I don't have all the facts, but I believe they should both have free rights to the land as long as they are respectful to the others religion. Now I know then that this won't happen (for many reasons) but I'll be talking about the Arab-Israeli Conflict. where after the 1948 war Israel and Arab fought again in 1956, 67, and 73.
These fights show me that the sides weren't ready at the time to share the area or respect each other, but what about now? Are they ready now? How do we know? By trying to answer the original question I seem to be drudging up more question, and maybe those ones can be answered...Experts might read this and think 'wow this girl's crazy to think that they could share with all these issues' and you know, I might be. But there is always a chance for it. During the Cold War people even made steps for peace, but they still weren't quite ready. Maybe not soon, probably not soon, probably not for a long time, but in order to get closer we should look at the causes for the conflict.
Well, they just don't agree. It mostly has to do with their religions, different religions but they both involve the same place, Jerusalem. They both want it because it is holy to them and their religion. It's like one big tug-of-war. They also don't respect each other. They don't respect the others religion or ideas, basically they are close minded to each other.
None of which are at fault, or maybe they're both at fault. But they have yet to see it that way. Perhaps, maybe, in the future, with help of others, they'll make a treaty, find peace, solve their issues.
So, in answer to the question, they shouldn't have 'possession' of the land. They should have mutual respect and use it together.

Homework..yet again...part 3
For discussion
1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
What polices do the muslims specifically hate so much? Is there anyway we could possibly fix it?We could find out by asking them specifically.
2. What U.S. policies do most Muslims hate and why? If you need more information, how might you find it?
The policy that they hate the most is that they are for Isreal and against the Paletine's right.
3. Why might acknowledging that U.S. policies have anything to do with jihadist attacks be seen as "politically incorrect" and "blaming the victim"?
The jihadist hate the U.S policies so they show they anger by attacking. They are blaming the victim by saying the U.S allied policy has stuff to do with there attacks.
4. Despite a year of effort by Obama's special envoy George Mitchell to move the Israelis and Palestinians toward a negotiated two-state solution, there's been no visible progress. Why not? If you need more information, how might you find it?
5. How and why are the people of Gaza suffering? If you need more information, how might you find it?
I'm confused....

There hasn’t been any (Well, not visible anyway) progress because they don’t see the same way as others do..on my ikeepbokmarks account.
5. How and why are the people of Gaza suffering? If you need more information, how might you find it?

My Homework! (Reading Two)
For discussion
1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
Why is still the question, though it has been furthered answered. Why does Bin Laden lie?
He says we planned on 'continuing the massacre' when we mostly went to protect and prevent that very thing. What else, if he were still alive, would he say to get people to follow him? It is near impossible for the answer, seeing as he is dead..
2. Years have passed since President Bush's comments. What knowledge and evidence do you have to support, add to, amend, or oppose his explanation for terrorist acts? Why might jihadists want to overthrow certain Muslim governments? Drive Israel out of the Middle East? If you don't know how might you find out?
Bush says that they hate us because we stand in the way of what they want. And this is kinda true, but, nothing we've done with our government has really interfered with them, just those they don't like. Jihadists might want to overthrow certain Muslim governments because they are not with them with their idea of the world. And they'd want to drive Israel out of the Middle East for much of the same thing...

3. Even more years have passed since Bin Laden's harsh critique of the United States. What knowledge and evidence do you have to support, add to, amend, or oppose that critique.
Bin Laden says that we have hate them them, tried to help the Jews, and killed them, he actually used Massacre as the word. Now, from their point of view, I could see how they would think that, however we live in a time where two wrongs don't make it right (neither do two lefts). They may think we caused them harm, but does that make it okay to kill people who haven't done anything.
4. According to Wright, what has led young men in Arab countries to find martyrdom attractive?
Sadly he says that it's because their bored, well more than that. Young men need something to do, some sort of entertainment but there isn't any for them. Anger, humiliation, and resentment led them to do violent things to fill in the lack of entertainment.
5. According to polling in Muslim countries, how popular is Al Qaeda? Why?
A lot of them , or a least a big majority, don't support it or agree with it. They don't because one they don't care for the injuring or killing innocent people.

My Homework!
For discussion
What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
Why? Can anyone really answer that? Can they even answer that? Perhaps if we put together both information from both sides we can get the answer.
What is President Obama's answer? Brennan's?
In the reading President Obama Doesn’t really answer the question of why. He says how the terrorists are increasingly recruiting people to do their bidding. And Brennan avoided her question, or so it seemed to me. He kept trying to give it a different act, but when confronted as to why, he quickly side-stepped to another question.
Thomas was clearly dissatisfied with Brennan's answer. Why? Would she have been satisfied with the president's? Why or why not?
She was dissatisfied because he DIDN’T answer her. It was probably just because he didn’t have an answer for her. How was he supposed to know why crazy terrorist’s do what they do? I do not think she would have been. No one can really answer the answer as to why, except maybe the terrorists them selves, if even then.
Why does Glenn Greenwald think it important to consider terrorist motivations? Do you agree? Why or why not?
He’s saying that a in order to stop (possibly) terrorism, you need to understand why they are doing it. If you can get a glimpse of understanding into the motive then you might be able to figure out a way to stop them. I do agree because it makes sense what he says.
How would you answer Thomas' question, "Why?" Why do Hasan, Abdulmutallab, and others commit such acts?? If you need more reliable information, where might you find it?
If I were to answer it I would have to respond truthfully. We have not learned more on the Why. It might be because of some revenge or maybe some deeper messed up mind set but until we figure it out, I can’t answer much more. More information on my ikeepbookmarks account!
