Reflection...
Pols 477 was over-all a very informative class. Going into detail what we would just skim over in other classes was so helpful. For me, the blogging assignment was a way of showing us that the conflict between Israel and Palestinians is ongoing, constantly changing as more people try to either come to a peaceful agreement or opt for a more violent approach. While I feel like I already understood how difficult the problem was between Palestinians and Israelis, current events would sometimes give me hope that a solution was near and other times blogging about them would kill any hopes that I had before.
I’m very interested in continuing to study and watch Israel. I am excited to see how the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel will grow or fail, how Israel handles it’s security, and the growth or distruction of Fattah, Hamas, and the PA. Maybe it is hopeful thinking, but I believe that we can solve this problem in my lifetime.
