Imagine living in a country where the government is not on your side. Everything the government did was in its own interest, without any consideration of the people. Imagine that your government was in conflict with another government and this government had the power to say whether you would have food to eat and water to drink. Imagine that in this so-called nation, children instead of going to school would rather throw stones at members of the other nation instead of going to school. Imagine that one day that boy who threw rocks might one day strap a bomb to himself and try to blow people up because he thinks it's the right thing to do. This is actually happening in the Middle East. These so-called nations are Israel and the Palestinian state which is not yet a nation. In the Middle East this is everyday life and all they know is that the government doesn't care about them, so they continue to fight for a cause that will never be resolved because their government doesn't want to reach an agreement. The United States stands for peace and freedom for all people, but is not doing enough to help the Middle East. The United States must act to resolve the conflict in the Middle East to preserve people's lives and save the Holy Land. Before you can solve the problem in the Middle East you have to understand how they became what they are today. It all began at the end of the First World War and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The southern part of their empire was left to the English who they called “Palestine”. The Jews claimed to migrate back to the area and rid it of swamps and malaria, "however they did not rid the land of the few Arabs who were there (United)." For this reason, many Arabs also emigrated to this area for a better quality of life. “In 1923 Winston Churchill claimed to have created, “in one afternoon,” the Trans-Jordan which separated Palestine into two parts (Kifner).” The new area east of the Jordan River was an Arab nation and was called Trans-Jordan, meaning beyond the Jordan River, which today is known as Jordan. The land that lies west of the Jordan River remains Palestine, “soon to be called Israel and the imaginary Jewish land that will become reality (Bardo 22).” The Arabs living in the new Transjordan wanted to take over the remaining part of Palestine. Train...... half of the paper...... Iran are real countries, the rest are just lines on a map supported by "tribes with flags", artificial countries created by European countries after the First World War (Kifner)" this can be changed though. In conclusion, the Middle East has gone through many phases of shaping and reshaping. The Arabs and Jews have gone through almost constant wars, sometimes worse than the others, when battles break out for whatever reason Because of this constant war fighting it is necessary to maintain a ceasefire and introduce a form of Marshall Plan to create jobs and reshape the nations into a more livable atmosphere. It might seem that Israel benefits less from the idea by losing land and not having Jerusalem as the capital, but this is what needs to be done to ensure peace or at least have lasting peace With the nation rebuilt, perhaps Israel will have a new export that creates jobs and builds its economy and that's a lot more important than trying to take over land that he will never be allowed to acquire. The United States has the power to make all this happen. This is why it is very important for the United States to be involved and remain involved in Middle East affairs.
