Israeli- Palestinan

In this news article is say that Israeli’s attacked some Palestinian farmers who were picking olives in a field. I think that this article is pro-Palestinian because they are making Israelis look like murderous people. In the article is says that they were working on their olive trees when Israeli’s came and stoned the people and their house. It says that this attack was made during olive season the most important time for the Palestinians in that year; they pick olives so they can sell them and make money to buy essentials in their country. I think that maybe there not mentioning some important things like why they attacked. We all know that they are having a conflict but maybe there is a reason why they attacked these particular people on that particular day. Maybe the Palestinians did the same thing to the Israelis; they attacked them on the most important day of their year. In this article it makes it sound like we should sympathize with the Palestinians when maybe there trying to divert bad press to a bigger issue at hand. There are articles that are pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian but with them you never get the full truth their PR do most of the talking we need to dig a little deeper and find out the full truth.

Suuni vs. Shiite

You should know the difference between Sunni and Shiite. The Sunni and Shiite are two different groups of people that have different views of the Muslim faith. After the prophet Muhammad died there was a big fight between the Muslims and the soon developed into Sunni or Shiites. It’s important to know because of the war in Iraq. Both Sunni and Shiite want power over Iraq so they went to war and we are involved in that war is are both fighting Sunni and Shiite. We need to know the difference between them because they’re our enemies and we need to know who our enemies are. It important to know about the enemy we’re fighting if we can’t even tell the difference what does that show about how well we know about them. For instance the Sunni are more radical then the Shiites, they go about things in a violent crazy way. That’s an important fact we would know. In this article most American Officials, people leading the war, don’t even know the difference between them. Both countries want power over Iraq we are mostly fighting the Sunnis who are more radical but there are some Shiites we are fighting in the war. That’s why it’s important to know the difference between Sunni and Shiites, we need to know who our enemies are.
