Palestine vs. Israel

The Palestinian leadership continues to reject acknowledging Israel's distinctive character, though to do so would not only recognize reality, but also give a big boost to the stalled peace talks. Islam is the official religion, though many, such as Malaysia, have significant non-Muslim minorities. To be fair, Muslim countries aren't alone in establishing state religions and seeking to associate faith and nationality. Some countries have Buddhism as their main religion. But Israel doesn’t have a real religion. The government can’t send it both ways. If they decide to demand Palestinian a state, then they have to reject Israel as a Jewish state. The battle to destroy Israel as we know it will continue. Israel has taken a giant leap into recognizing that Palestine’s religion. In the article I found Israel wants to make a difference but, the government seems to be on a difference side then where Israel is. This article is pro- Palestine because they don’t want to recognize Palestine’s religion and they don’t want to help out the Israel’s, which will cause war between Palestine and Israel.  The article is trying to help the world find Palestine’s religion. Help discover Jewish people in our world. So it’s up to the leaders to talk as Palestine’s voice.

Blog Post #3 (:

I say it is both important and unimportant to know the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite. It is important to know the difference between because you wouldn’t know their background. If war breaks out people wouldn’t know that they are working together. It is important to know what they want from each other so that if they are in war other people can help them win the war. It is also good to know the difference between Sunni and Shiite because sometimes people argue about where the countries are located and it takes Iraq into war. If people know things about these countries it will be easier to solve the problems between countries. I think it is also important because if Sunni’s and Shiite’s decide to create their own countries or states everyone would be able to know who lives in each area. If states or the F.B.I doesn’t know the difference between the two it will be harder to solve serious problems or situations. War could break out and people wouldn’t know what they are aiming to do or what their plan is. I also think it’s unimportant because if people don’t know anything about these countries they can’t argue or cause wars. The two countries aren’t showing action in anything so they aren’t being known to the world so nobody knows about them.  If the F.B.I doesn’t know about them then no other country will know about them so there is peace in the world. That’s why it is important and unimportant to know the difference.
