Creation Of Israel

Zionism -- A Jewish movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the support and development of the state of Israel.

The conflict that happened when Israel was created is that the Arabs hated the jews, and they opposed the fact that jews were moving into a place so close to them. They revolted and attacked the jews everytime they could, and the government would stand by and watch it all happen and not do anything to stop it. The Israelis and the Palestinians do not get along. They are always fighting about who Israel belongs to. they bring up reliogious and just plain moral aspects of each group to persuade whom it may concern that it is their territory.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Aparthied to me was basically legalized segration of blacks, whites, and the "colors" in South Africa. A black man and a white man with the same job will not get paid the same. A black man will get paid 10 times less because he`s black, & a white man will get paid 10 times more because the white government see`s him as a dominant race in the South Africa nation. Nelson Madela is a hero because he opposed the Aparthied laws. He was sentenced to life in prison, and was let out after 26 years, & still managed to liberate South Africa from the white surpremicist government. The authors of these articles admire him because they see him as a large political figure in the uprise of Africa.
