Current Event Article

Source: The title of the article is “Jewish Settlers Warn of Israel Coalition Collapse,” there is no known author, the article comes from BBC news and was published on 13 September 2010.

Summary: The article is discussing that in order for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel have to cease building settlements in the West Bank. This is important because there is a freeze in the building of these settlements, but once this freeze expires on September 26, Israel has to continue cease building these settlements or else, “The Palestinians say they will walk out of the talks if construction resumes.” It also mentions, “Palestinian government spokesman Ghassan Khatib again called on the Israeli government to end all settlement activity, saying it was endangering the peace process. ‘Israel should stop all kinds of settlement activities in order to give a chance for negotiations.’”

Analysis:
I agree and disagree with the articles viewpoints and what Israel and the Palestinians are doing. It is important for Israel and the Palestinians to have this peace talk, however, “nice” Palestinians live in Gaza and all around Israel, but there also Palestinian terrorist, such as Hamas. Hamas are terrorists who control Gaza and making peace with the Palestinians will not help because Hamas do not want peace, they want to conquer Israel. What I found most interesting is how bias this article was because it was defending the Palestinians and saying that Israel should stop these settlements, which I think is incorrect because no one can talk peace with terrorists, and a terrorist group controls Gaza.
