Middle East Under Fire Intro: Since November 2 1917 there has been a war going on in the middle east. The two sides fighting are the countries of Israel and Palestine it is also know as the Jewish and the Islam.

"in 2002 by April hundreds of Israelis and four times as many Palestinian have fallen”. Every where you turn if you live in one of these two countries you got to watch your back due to suicide bombers. The Arabs believe that that is what they should do they think its what god wants them to do they believe that they will go do in honor and die in honor. I was reading and article called “Israel and Palestine the occupation is killing us all” and it said that "in 2002 by April hundreds of Israelis and four times as many Palestinian have fallen”. Wow is all I can say I mean in my religion killing is wrong but after reading this article it makes me feel like that in this religion killing is ok and not even just ok it is wanted.

This pictuer here shows how this battle has effected the land over the past 61 years.

=**JUDAISM**:= Judasim worship there god through the Hebrew Bible. “They believe that God is one, and concerned with the actions of humankind.”- **[]** Well to me I don’t see how they can believe this I mean they have been fighting and killing for about 50 years with Israel and they believe that there god is concerned with humankind well I don’t see where it says humankind of only the Jewish religion so then what makes it ok to kill and fight. I mean I know this don’t got to do with anything but look at Gandhi he believed in no violence and if there was violence he would fast which is not eating for a amount of time and he got his way some of the time with out even killing a fly.



=**Islam**:= Islam worship there god thought a text call Qur'an. "Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and that the purpose of life is to worship God."-http://wapedia.mobi/en/Islam Well now i see why they would kill them self I mean they do it because they belive it is what they should do if some one puts in there head that it is right to kill because god said it was they will do it. I mean maybe its not writen that you should kill but if they are tild but people that god wants them to kill i guess they will do it.



=**Why it matters:**= Well the reason I did it was to kinda open peoples eyes to what exactly is going on in the world how much people belive in there religion and how much people think that there religion is better then every one else's. I think i got that point across but also showed that some religions just need to stop and really read there bible or sacred text to see what exactly they belive in I mean from what i have read and learned never once has killing been part of any religion but many religious people kill because they belive it is what they have to do. So if I did this again I think I would take a look deeper to see what makes them think that there god wants them to kill.
