Martin Luther King Legacy
The legacy of the great civil right leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. continues to be a topic of much
debate nearly a half century after his assassination. This literature review on a more broad and
complete view of Dr. Kings legacy and ideals. Dr. King was for racial integration but later on in his
life he developed more radical economic views on the distribution of wealth in the United States. Dr.
King was a lot more complex then the saint he has been portrayed as in history textbooks. This
review will discuss Dr. King as a civil rights leader who had a radical philosophy on economics. Dr.
King early in his career as an activist focused on racial integration but later he broadened his focus
on fighting for broader economic and social justice according to Dreier (2014). Dr. Kings' early
work involved leading people in the freedom rides and Montgomery Bus boycotts. Dreier (2014)
argues that Dr. Kings more radical stance on poverty was strongly influenced by a civil rights
campaign he organized in Chicago in 1965. King saw that the big problem in the ghettos was not
legal separation but economic exploitation. King had a radical stance on economic poverty a side of
him some argue is not adequately portrayed in American textbooks. ... Show more content on

Egypt more to Blame than Israel for the Outbreak of War...
There are different historical views on what really provoced the war of 1967, the Israelis would
clearly blame the Egyptians and point at Nasser's agressions as the main provocation leading to the
war. Another view is that Nasser did not have the intention to fight Israel at that point, but when the
UN troops in the Sinai were withdrawn suprisingly after Nasser's demand, Nasser had to make true
his big promises to defeat Israel to the other Arab nations. He wanted to keep his reputation as the
ultimate leader of the pan–Arabian league and he could only do so by moving his troops towards
Israel, which no longer had a protection buffer by the UN troops in the Sinai. Another view is that

France and Britain had lost their role in the Middle East after 1956, nevertheless, other foregn
influences became strong in the area: Soviet–American rivalry dragged the Cold War into the
region. Russia hoped that if it would spread its influence in the Middle East, it would be able to
break the encirclement around the USSR, which stoped it from spreading. The USA had made pacts
to condemn communism from spreading, the Baghdad pact of 1955 included Turkey, Iran, Iraq
Pakistan and Britain. By winning over the Arab states, Russia expected to break this belt and be able
to take Communism all over the world. Russia's interest in the Middle East alarmed the United
States, so they started taking an interest themselves in the region, sympathizing most with Israel, due
to Egypt being too unpredictable in its loyalities.
After 1956 the Israelis were forced to give back all territorial gains and return to the borders agreed

Israel P.L.O. Peace Treaty Essay
Israel P.L.O. Peace Treaty
The Middle East has always been known as the Holy Land, the land of the Bible. For centuries,
prophets have walked there, nations have collided and conquerors have come and gone. While Jews
claim a three thousand–year–old attachment to this ancient land, Arabs also stake their devotion. In
1993, these two peoples, involved in a tragic conflict that has lasted more than half a century, saw
the possibility of a new beginning. It was called the Oslo Accord, and it transformed the political
realities of the Middle East (Peres, p.2) However, there have been many turbulent events that have

In June 1992, the Labour government was elected in Israel on a platform of peace and change. At its
head was Yitzhak Rabin, former military chief of staff. His move from the battlefield to the
negotiation table was a historical moment in the life of Israel.
Madrid had failed because Israeli and United States delegates refused to deal with the PLO. But
Rabin and foreign minister Peres, unlike their predecessors, were willing to pursue new avenues for
peace. The way was now paved for one of the most intriguing diplomatic accords of recent years,
the Oslo Agreement. It was now clear that direct dialogue was needed between the PLO and Israel.
(Peres, p. 12)
Secret talks were arranged between the two sides in Norway starting in January 1993. However, one
key matter held up the talks, that being the Israeli ban on contact with the PLO. When the Israeli
Knesset repealed this, the way to Oslo was open. Talks took place between January and May of
1993. As talks continued, complications arose, notably Israel's insistence that it retain control of
West Bank security. However, as trust grew, both sides compromised as they moved towards
reconciliation and mutual recognition. After eight months of negotiations, an agreement of
principles was signed secretly in Oslo. The declaration of principles bound Israel and the
Palestinians to a five–year interim agreement. Power over Gaza and Jericho would be transferred to

External Factors: Environmental Analysis
Environmental Analysis
Environmental analysis is a process for identifying all external and internal elements that can affect
the performance of the organization and evaluating the level of threat or opportunity they present.
Opportunity and threat assessments are then incorporated into decision making process in order to
better align strategies with the organizations environment (Investor Words, 2015). Every destination
needs to know about their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Israel is a holy place for the 3 major Abrahamic religions of the world i.e. Judaism, Christianity and
Islam (Levit, 2008, p. 7). 22% defined the goal of their visit to Israel as a pilgrimage, 27% arrived
for sightseeing and travel, and 9% for a vacation. In total, 58% defined the goal of their visit as
touristic, 26% arrived to see relatives and friends, and 8% came for businesses purposes and
conferences. Sixty–four percent of tourists stayed in hotels, 25% with relatives/friends, 4% in youth
hostels and Christian guesthouses, and 3% stayed in self–owned or rented apartments (Reinstein,
2014). This shows that Israel has scope to increase and extend their hospitality towards the tourist.
Environmental analysis consists of the macro environmental scanning. It is classified as following.

The Difficult History of the Jews Filled with Persecution
Despite 2,000 years of continuous residence, Europe's Jews were rarely given complete citizenship
status in their own countries. Their social and religious distinctiveness made them persistent targets
for economic, social and personal persecution. The increased participation of the Jews in the
economic and social life of 19th and 20th century industrial Europe intensified anti–Semitism. The
Nazi policy of racial hatred amplified and manipulated these patterns of persecution, ultimately
adding one deadly tenet that all Jews must be eliminated.
As the international economic crisis of the Great Depression spread in the early 1930s, the Nazis fed
on the discontent of the lower and middle classes of Germany. Most German voters who brought the
Nazis to power assumed their extremism would be tempered by the responsibility and compromise
necessary to govern. They were mistaken. Jews lost their jobs, their citizenship, and all civil rights.
When war broke out in 1939, escape was almost impossible. The "Final Solution", the murder of all
Jews, became the ultimate phase of Nazi policy, but not before enforcing many other life–restricting
policies on the Jewish people.
In 1927 Hitler was arrested and his 50,000 Nazi followers were eager to hear what their leader had
to say. Imprisoned, Hitler wrote "Mein Kamf" in which he explained the issues that he felt towards
the current societal and political state in Germany. The book spread like wildfire and Hitler's

Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass", is one of the most crucial events in German, Jewish,

over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, Jews were murdered, Jewish cemeteries,
schools, hospitals, and homes were looted by SS while the police attempted to preserve them but

Finally, many purely hated Jews because they were not Aryan. Germany was one of these countries.
Hitler, the leader of Germany, has carried hate for the Jews since early childhood. Primarily, he
blamed them for his mother's death along with him not getting into his dream school, Vienna Art
College. Also, they were blamed by Germany for defeat in WWI and as the cause for
unemployment. However, mainly Jews were persecuted because of the way they looked. At the
time, Hitler wanted a racially pure Germany. He believed that by adapting the Darwin theory of
survival of the fittest, he would be able to create a stronger generation and kill those that are impure
or disabled.
Prior to the horrific "Night of Broken Glass" Jews ' material comforts and mental health declined
due to the early Nazi anti–Jew moves in 1933. On the 1st of April 1933, the SA organized a boycott
of all Jewish shops and businesses. However, due to the lack of interest and customer loyalty to
Jews ' businesses, the boycott failed. Along with the boycott, in 1933, Jewish civil servants,
teachers, bankers, and lawyers were sacked and Race Science lessons taught that Jews were inferior.

This is a very useful tool when you are trying to comparing countries to each other because it shows
the relative performance of these countries (investopedia.com). Comparing Israel to other countries,
in 2016 with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Israel was ranked number 24 at $37,262, and
with the World Bank in 2016 as well, it was ranked as number 22 at $37,293 (Economy of Israel).
All of the GDP are converted into United States currency to even out the playing field and make it
easier to rank all of the countries. While the GDP per capita can help compare countries to one
another, an issue with it is that it doesn't take into account the differences in cost of living as well as
the fluctuations in the exchange rates of a country's currency (wikipedia.org). Within the entire
Middle East, Israel has the highest GDP, just about doubling Iran who is the second highest at
$12,900 (Economy in the Middle East). By breaking down the percentages of the GDP in Israel, it
shows that most of the GDP is towards services at 64.7%, then 31.2% in industry, and a small 2.5%
in agriculture (Economy of Israel). A major contributor to Israel's economy is trade. The value of the

According to the Department of Commerce's Office of the Antiboycotting Compliance (OAC), the
legislation was enacted to "encourage, and in specified cases, requires U.S. firms to refuse to
participate in foreign boycotts that the United States does not sanction (Security).
The US's reaction to the Arab League boycott of Israel lays the foundation for the reaction of states
and federal to the BDS Movement. A number of the reactions by different states including Illinois
and South Carolina were discussed above. The federal regulations in an attempt to stamp the US'
anti–Arab League boycott of Israel included, the Export Administration Act of 1979 (EAA) and the
Ribicoff Amendment to the Tax Reform Act of 1976 (TRA). Under section 8 of the EAA, all US
persons and company were prohibited from complying with an unsanctioned foreign boycott and
require anyone who is requested to do so, to report such request to the OAC in the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS). The EAA recommends penalties for violators.
As is seen, the US has long opposed boycotts of Israeli entities. Some Members of Congress have
argued the US needs to continue this trend and enact legislation which will protect the integrity of
trade as well as protect the state of Israel. In fact, it could be argued that protecting trade freedom of
Israel is the only way to protect the state as a trade isolation would leave it vulnerable and

Lorraine in addition to paying reparations to Germany totaling five billion francs of gold. France

agreement with Israel" which would include the permission of Israeli ships through the Suez canal

Israel and Egypt as well as raids coming in from Jordan eventually led to the Sinai–Suez war of

debated and remains unanswered. The idea that putting economic pressures on a country to illicit a
certain behavior or change in behavior from that country works in theory, but in practice, it is more

Positive sanctions are meant to foster relations between countries. Negative sanctions are intended
to cause another country economic harm. The debate around economic sanctions typically focuses
on the negative kind. Sanctions can be unilateral – from one sender country to one target country –
or multilateral from multiple countries. Multilateral sanctions can be orchestrated by one main
country supported by other countries, or they can be sent under the auspices of an international
organization. Raul Caruso distinguishes three different kinds of negative sanctions – boycotts,
embargoes, and
Kassim 3 financial sanctions. A boycott is the restriction of imports from the target country;
embargoes are restrictions on exports to the target country; financial sanctions are restrictions on
investment in the target country (Caruso "Should We Set" 23). Kaempfer and Lowenberg posit that
economic sanctions can be proposed for the following three reasons: in response to a nation that
threatens the wealth or security of the sender nation; to achieve moral or ideological goals; as a part
of trade policy and commercial relations – i.e. in response to tariffs or quotas (Kaempfer 2). The
question of whether or not sanctions are efficient is a difficult one to answer. A major contributing
factor to this difficulty is the lack of a universal standard for gauging success. Analysts create the

It is inexplicable that eschewing something can simply be escalated to be as serious and harsh as

In that period, there existed a labor union named the Knights of Labor, which committed serious
boycotts. Their so–called organized boycotters were more like gangsters. Whoever was in
opposition of the Knights of Labor would be isolated both commercially and interpersonally. They
could barely be able to buy any food, because they were personally boycotted. If their friends saw
them, cross the street. Finally this wicked boycott method encountered some diehard merchants.
Esther Gray, who was a bakeress in New York, showed the mass that "a person may be placed
beyond the reach of the boycott by public sympathy."(Glickman 140) That was an anti–boycott,
"consumer power deployed in defense of a boycotted business."(Glickman 140)
It is obvious for people with basic sense of right and wrong to see the misdemeanors of consumer
boycotts in that period. The explanation is that those "effectiveness" and "success" of boycotters
were shielded by the loops in legal system. The good side is that the Supreme Court is in continuous
effort to make the "game" more fair with much attention directed at secondary boycotts. "For

In response, many heads of U.S. universities, including MIT, the University of Chicago and all ten
University of California campuses, recently reaffirmed their opposition to academic boycotts,
specifically citing ones targeting Israel.
The graduate student unions at University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst and New York

Ophir's The Challenges Of The BDS Movement
The BDS Movement is a revolutionary movement that still goes on today. The BDS Movement
stands for "boycott, divestment, and sanctions in which are against Israel until it complies with
international law for Palestinians"(The BDS Movement). This movement for the Palestinians rights
was started by "Palestinian civil society in 2005 and is coordinated by the Palestinian BDS National
Committee (BNC) which was established in 2007"(BDS Movement). BDS is a strategy that "allows
people of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian struggle for justice" (The BDS
Movement). It has been realized that Israel, for decades, has denied Palestinians their "fundamental

In the beginning of Ophir paper, he supports the BDS's movement in pressuring companies by
ending "complicated business activity and institutions to divest" (Ophir 652). By pressuring
companies and institutions into giving their money to Israel's hands, it will protect Palestinians
rights and ultimately lives. Ophir discusses the opposing argument by stating that, "the state
apparatus and the majortiy of Israeli Jews do not recognize the right of Israeli citizens to question
the basic tents of the Zionist regime and use civil forms of struggle to transform and democratize
their political regime; rather they understand such a struggle as a act of treason" (Ophir 654). Ophir
is saying that they don't understand the difficulty in trying to change a state to be only for Israelis
and not a land in which Palestinians and Israelis can live together and coexist. Ophir believe that just
because they don't understand this difficulty, like the "4.4 million noncitizens in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip" in Palestinians reside in, you can just kick out, especially if it is such a huge proportion
of people living on this land, living there for generations and generations down decades. He
concludes in his paper by saying that the direction in which Israelis should be taking is that "they
should force themselves to become addresses of the BDS's call and then, hopefully, they will seek to

Public Participation And Petition For Boycott Products
TO: Justice McCloud
FROM: Law Clerk #7470
RE: Davis v. Cox, No. 90233–0
Date: March 9th, 2015
Word Count: 2450 words for discussion and conclusion sections
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
1. Is a private food co–op boards' decision to boycott products an action of "public participation and
petition" as covered under the statute RCW 4.24.525?
2. Is the coop member's lawsuit "based on" the boycott or based on the violation of the co–op
bylaws?
BRIEF ANSWERS
1. Yes. The board of director's decision to boycott products is most likely a matter of public
participation and petition under RCW 4.24.525(2)(e) because it is an action of lawful conduct meant
to further the right of free speech under the statute.
2. The Washington Legislature intended RCW 4.24.525 to be interpreted broadly to protect free
speech. Interpreting a lawsuit to be based on an act of free speech would best effectuate what the
Legislature intended.
FACTS
The Olympia Food Co–op is a nonprofit food cooperative and grocery store with more than 22,000
members with a policy for participating in nationally recognized boycotts. Boycotts could be
proposed and enacted through a process outlined in the bylaws. In 2009 a co–op employee proposed
a boycott of Israeli products and divesting from Israeli funds that was brought to the internal

Economic Boycotts Research Paper
Economic boycotts have proven to not be the most effective throughout history because they have
proven to cause unfortunate events or they have not made any meaningful change. Although
economic boycotting is practically nonviolent, some boycotts have provoked countries to perform
acts of violence. This makes economic boycotting a dangerous and sensitive thing to do and should
be avoided at all costs. Economic boycotts that have proven to be successful at failing include the
US sanctions against Japan and the Arab League Boycott of Israel. Other methods like passive
resistance have proven to yield more meaningful and peaceful change through the long haul.

Anti Semitic And Anti Zionist Movement
By the late nineteenth century, the Jews, who had been in exile for almost two thousand years, found
their ancestral homeland in Palestine, which was largely occupied by Arabs and governed by the
Turks; this dilemma sparked many problems within the Middle East. Since the rise of the Zionist
movement and the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, political leaders of
predominately Muslim nations in the Middle East have made discriminatory prejudice anti–Semitic
statements or actions. Allowing for apportioning or deflection of blame, contradicting the stated
social and theological morality of the Islamic faith, this technique has been used as a tool for
political control by regimes in this region for the past century. The relationship between anti–
Semitic and anti–Zionist views in the Middle East are shown through the nature of the governments
involved in the anti–Zionist movement, the relationship these nations had with the state of Israel, the
effect it had on the Arabic people living within these countries and the assumptions made on
Judaism and Zionism.

Economic History of Israel and Saudi Arabia Israel and Saudi Arabia are two countries in close
proximity to each other, yet seem to be different in almost every metric. Saudi Arabia has a $744
Billion GDP, while Israel only $290 Billion (The World Bank), yet when breaking the GDP into
GDP per capita, Saudi Arabia lags behind Israel at with a GDP per capita of $25, 961 whereas Israel
is at $36,051. Israel and Saudi Arabia both became economic powerhouses of the Middle East, while
remaining vastly different from each other in terms of their institutions. Their histories are unique,
illustrating various ways a country can develop. Israel as a country is quite new, only 67 years old.
Israel was founded in 1948 after being given to the Jewish people by Great Britain. Soon after Israel
declared independence, all of the pseudo governmental Jewish institutions that were set up during
the period under British rule, combined to form government departments. However, due to the state
of its economy as well the more socialist leanings of the main political party, in the beginning there
was strong government intervention.
Following its founding, Israel's economy was jumpstarted through a large amount of foreign aid as
well as immigration. Immigration was a pillar of the founding of the Jewish state with Holocaust
survivors coming in droves from Europe to Israel. After just three years of it's founding, Israel

Essay on Israel-Palestine: Two-State vs One-State Solution
What Does The Future Hold for Israel–Palestine?
The Israeli–Palestinian conflict has proven to be one of the most complex and "intractable" conflicts
of modern history – or as some may even add – of all time. And after many decades of failed
attempts at peacemaking in this region, there still seems to be no conceivable end to the conflict.
During those same decades, most of the parties involved as well as the international community
have embraced the idea of a two–state solution, but the question we pose today asks whether this
solution is still a viable option considering the present context, and if not, is it finally time to
consider a one–state solution? This essay will argue that although a two–state solution remains the

Furthermore, the involvement and conflict–resolution approaches of the international community
during the South–African ordeal differed greatly from those of today, since Israel has a more
complex relationship with the United–States than South–Africa ever did and an international boycott
of Israel would ultimately fail as it would be interpreted as a repetition of the Holocaust, which
began with the simple slogan "Don't buy from the Jews" and which no one in their right mind
desires today! (5)
So, is a two–state solution a more viable option? One might think that a two–state option is a very
remote possibility seeing the constant hostility from the Palestinian side, the crisis and disconnect
between Hamas and the official Palestinian Authority, the fragmentation of the West Bank territory
into districts due to growing Israeli settlements, and an almost inexistent peace process between the
two nations in light of a unilateral Israeli approach to conflict resolution. However, it is also vital to

Bhagwat says "wherever the political, economic, social, and ecological future of humanity and...
earth is debated and discussed, Gandhiji with his simple precepts provides a guidance for all
generations" (Bhagwat 33). I believe that her argument successfully convinces the reader that the
principles Gandhi followed and the strategies he used, non–violent civil disobedience and non–

Rome took wine more seriously, since it more strictly sets the status of a man, so much so, that the

Osama bin–Laden and his supporters have claimed their hostility toward the West is partly a result
of the United States' past support and involvement with Israel. U.S. involvement began during the
conflict between Egypt and Israel, Great Britain, and France when their diplomatic intervention
persuaded the countries to withdraw. The United States, however, continually supported Israel by
aiding them financially and militarily. Israel proceeded to engage in the Six Day War of 1967, which
caused the oil producing Arab States to issue a 15 percent reduction of oil production and an
embargo of shipments to the United States. The October War soon broke out in 1973, and the same
countries issued yet another reduction, this time a 25 percent reduction, causing the United Nations

The Settlement Of The Israeli Essay
The settlement of the Israeli started with the ideology of Zionism, which is to found a Jewish–
majority nation that serves as the safe heaven for all Jewish identifying population over the world, in
its most sacred place: the father land. After the long battle against anti–Semitism and the most
traumatic experience of the Holocaust, the Jewish population was compelled to find a nation that it
would provide a safe place; such sentiment and obligation to the both physical and social survival of
the population is sound and legitimate. However, Israel, as a nation, is in a tough spot: geologically,
it is located in the Middle East, sitting on what used to be considered Palestinian territory; due to the
Diaspora, new–not wholly new, but post–Diaspora new–groups settled in the region, and the
founding of the nation is inherently in conflict with the both settler's right to live. Due to the Middle
Easternism and its hostility to the West and the Israelites originating from the West in concept [sic],
Israel's fundamental existence is threatened (Drake, ). As a result, whereas the Palestine–Israel
conflict is situated in post–Cold War era that marks the decline in the physical military front, the
foreign policy of Israel for the most part still adopts classical concept of security; alas, Israeli

James Earl Carter Foreign Policy
James Earl Carter, Jr. was elected president in 1977 and served until 1981. Known for morality
being his passion, Carter approached many decisions both domestic and foreign with utilitarian
ethics, hoping to do as much good for as many as he could. Carter came to the White House
determined to make human rights considerations integral to U.S. foreign policy. He did not want the
U.S. to use its influence and power for what he deemed unethical pursuits and tried to reduce the
amount of harm the U.S. did to other countries. Being president during the Cold War, Carter had to
balance the hostile relationship with the U.S.S.R and approach foreign policy with the goodness that
he did.

Vigorously suppressing any opposition from among the traditional Muslim Afghans, the government
arrested thousands and executed as many as 27,000 political prisoners (Bennett 1999). By April
1979 large parts of the country were in open rebellion and by December the government had lost
control of territory outside of the cities (Kepel 2002). In response to Afghan government requests,
the U.S.S.R's government under Brezhnev first sent covert troops to advise and support the Afghan
government, but on December 24th, 1979, began the first deployment of the 40th Army (BBC
2009). Arriving in the capital Kabul, they staged a coup, killing the Afghan President, and installing

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Essay
The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Jews is a modern phenomenon, which began around the
turn of the 20th century. Although these two groups have different religions (Palestinians include
Muslims, Christians and Druze), religious differences are not the cause of the conflict. It is
essentially a struggle over land. Until 1948, the area that both groups claimed was known
internationally as Palestine. But following the war of 1948–49, this land was divided into three
parts: the state of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River) and the Gaza Strip (1).
Jewish claims to this land are based on the biblical promise to Abraham and his descendants, on the
fact that this was the historical site of the Jewish kingdom of Israel (which was ... Show more

Following World War II the British requested that the recently established United Nations determine
the future of Palestine. After investigating the cituation, they came to an agreement that the country
would have to be divided in order to satisfy the needs and demands of both Jews and Palestinian
Arabs. Jews had acquired by purchase 6 to 8 percent of the total land area of Palestine amounting to
about 20 percent of the arable land (7).
The UN partition plan divided the country in such a way that each state would have a majority of its
own population, although some Jewish settlements would fall within the proposed Palestinian state
and many Palestinians would become part of the proposed Jewish state. The Zionist leadership
accepted the UN partition plan, although they hoped somehow to expand the borders allotted to the
Jewish state (4). The Palestinian Arabs and the surrounding Arab states rejected the UN plan.
Fighting began between the Arab and Jewish residents of Palestine days after the adoption of the UN
partition plan. The Arab military forces were poorly organized, trained and armed. In contrast,
Zionist military forces, although numerically smaller, were well organized, trained and armed. On
May 15, 1948 Zionist leaders proclaimed the state of Israel. Neighboring Arab states (Egypt, Syria,
Jordan and Iraq) then invaded Israel claiming that they sought to "save" Palestine from the Zionists.
The war ended ended in 1949 (8). The country once

  • 1. Martin Luther King Legacy The legacy of the great civil right leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. continues to be a topic of much debate nearly a half century after his assassination. This literature review on a more broad and complete view of Dr. Kings legacy and ideals. Dr. King was for racial integration but later on in his life he developed more radical economic views on the distribution of wealth in the United States. Dr. King was a lot more complex then the saint he has been portrayed as in history textbooks. This review will discuss Dr. King as a civil rights leader who had a radical philosophy on economics. Dr. King early in his career as an activist focused on racial integration but later he broadened his focus on fighting for broader economic and social justice according to Dreier (2014). Dr. Kings' early work involved leading people in the freedom rides and Montgomery Bus boycotts. Dreier (2014) argues that Dr. Kings more radical stance on poverty was strongly influenced by a civil rights campaign he organized in Chicago in 1965. King saw that the big problem in the ghettos was not legal separation but economic exploitation. King had a radical stance on economic poverty a side of him some argue is not adequately portrayed in American textbooks. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... King as a saint or Moses like figure who led the blacks the same way Moses led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Aldridge (2006) explains that this portrayal prevents people from having a more complete view on Dr. King, what he stood for, and how his ideologies changed over time based on his experiences. Dr. King had such radical economic views that the FBI feared he had communist ties and as a result wiretapped him from 1962 until his death.

Another view is that Nasser did not have the intention to fight Israel at that point, but when the UN troops in the Sinai were withdrawn suprisingly after Nasser's demand, Nasser had to make true his big promises to defeat Israel to the other Arab nations. He wanted to keep his reputation as the ultimate leader of the pan–Arabian league and he could only do so by moving his troops towards Israel, which no longer had a protection buffer by the UN troops in the Sinai. Another view is that "the Six Day War was the result of Egyptian– Israeli ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... France and Britain had lost their role in the Middle East after 1956, nevertheless, other foregn influences became strong in the area: Soviet–American rivalry dragged the Cold War into the region. Russia hoped that if it would spread its influence in the Middle East, it would be able to break the encirclement around the USSR, which stoped it from spreading. The USA had made pacts to condemn communism from spreading, the Baghdad pact of 1955 included Turkey, Iran, Iraq Pakistan and Britain. By winning over the Arab states, Russia expected to break this belt and be able to take Communism all over the world. Russia's interest in the Middle East alarmed the United States, so they started taking an interest themselves in the region, sympathizing most with Israel, due to Egypt being too unpredictable in its loyalities. After 1956 the Israelis were forced to give back all territorial gains and return to the borders agreed in the 1949 armistice, but in received in return the support of the UNEF in the Gaza Strip and the Sinai. Passage through the Gulf of Aqaba was assured by the presence of the UNEF at Sharm al– Sheikh, supported by the US, which guaranteed to step in if the right of international passage was violated.

For centuries, prophets have walked there, nations have collided and conquerors have come and gone. While Jews claim a three thousand–year–old attachment to this ancient land, Arabs also stake their devotion. In 1993, these two peoples, involved in a tragic conflict that has lasted more than half a century, saw the possibility of a new beginning. It was called the Oslo Accord, and it transformed the political realities of the Middle East (Peres, p.2) However, there have been many turbulent events that have followed the signing of the Accord, events that have undermined the agreement and are threatening to drive Israelis and Arabs ...

At its head was Yitzhak Rabin, former military chief of staff. His move from the battlefield to the negotiation table was a historical moment in the life of Israel. Madrid had failed because Israeli and United States delegates refused to deal with the PLO. But Rabin and foreign minister Peres, unlike their predecessors, were willing to pursue new avenues for peace. The way was now paved for one of the most intriguing diplomatic accords of recent years, the Oslo Agreement. It was now clear that direct dialogue was needed between the PLO and Israel. (Peres, p. 12) Secret talks were arranged between the two sides in Norway starting in January 1993. However, one key matter held up the talks, that being the Israeli ban on contact with the PLO. When the Israeli Knesset repealed this, the way to Oslo was open. Talks took place between January and May of 1993. As talks continued, complications arose, notably Israel's insistence that it retain control of West Bank security. However, as trust grew, both sides compromised as they moved towards reconciliation and mutual recognition. After eight months of negotiations, an agreement of principles was signed secretly in Oslo. The declaration of principles bound Israel and the Palestinians to a five–year interim agreement. Power over Gaza and Jericho would be transferred to the Palestinians, economic programs ...

External Factors: Environmental Analysis Environmental Analysis Environmental analysis is a process for identifying all external and internal elements that can affect the performance of the organization and evaluating the level of threat or opportunity they present. Opportunity and threat assessments are then incorporated into decision making process in order to better align strategies with the organizations environment (Investor Words, 2015). Every destination needs to know about their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Israel is a holy place for the 3 major Abrahamic religions of the world i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam (Levit, 2008, p. 7). 22% defined the goal of their visit to Israel as a pilgrimage, 27% arrived for sightseeing and travel, and 9% for a vacation. In total, 58% defined the goal of their visit as touristic, 26% arrived to see relatives and friends, and 8% came for businesses purposes and conferences. Sixty–four percent of tourists stayed in hotels, 25% with relatives/friends, 4% in youth hostels and Christian guesthouses, and 3% stayed in self–owned or rented apartments (Reinstein, 2014). This shows that Israel has scope to increase and extend their hospitality towards the tourist. Environmental analysis consists of the macro environmental scanning.

  • 9. The Difficult History of the Jews Filled with Persecution Despite 2,000 years of continuous residence, Europe's Jews were rarely given complete citizenship status in their own countries. Their social and religious distinctiveness made them persistent targets for economic, social and personal persecution. The increased participation of the Jews in the economic and social life of 19th and 20th century industrial Europe intensified anti–Semitism. The Nazi policy of racial hatred amplified and manipulated these patterns of persecution, ultimately adding one deadly tenet that all Jews must be eliminated. As the international economic crisis of the Great Depression spread in the early 1930s, the Nazis fed on the discontent of the lower and middle classes of Germany. Most German voters who brought the Nazis to power assumed their extremism would be tempered by the responsibility and compromise necessary to govern. They were mistaken. Jews lost their jobs, their citizenship, and all civil rights. When war broke out in 1939, escape was almost impossible. The "Final Solution", the murder of all Jews, became the ultimate phase of Nazi policy, but not before enforcing many other life–restricting policies on the Jewish people. In 1927 Hitler was arrested and his 50,000 Nazi followers were eager to hear what their leader had to say. Imprisoned, Hitler wrote "Mein Kamf" in which he explained the issues that he felt towards the current societal and political state in Germany.

Assess the significance of Kristallnacht Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass", is one of the most crucial events in German, Jewish, and World History. Before, the Jews were simply assaulted and verbally abused. However, on the night of November 9, 1938, an unplanned and extremely violent action against the Jews occurred. In two days, over 250 synagogues were burnt down while the fire department did nothing to stop it, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, Jews were murdered, Jewish cemeteries, schools, hospitals, and homes were looted by SS while the police attempted to preserve them but failed. Before Kristallnacht, Jews ' lives were not threatened. Historically Jews were not welcome by many countries which ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Finally, many purely hated Jews because they were not Aryan. Germany was one of these countries. Hitler, the leader of Germany, has carried hate for the Jews since early childhood. Primarily, he blamed them for his mother's death along with him not getting into his dream school, Vienna Art College. Also, they were blamed by Germany for defeat in WWI and as the cause for unemployment. However, mainly Jews were persecuted because of the way they looked. At the time, Hitler wanted a racially pure Germany. He believed that by adapting the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest, he would be able to create a stronger generation and kill those that are impure or disabled. Prior to the horrific "Night of Broken Glass" Jews ' material comforts and mental health declined due to the early Nazi anti–Jew moves in 1933. On the 1st of April 1933, the SA organized a boycott of all Jewish shops and businesses. However, due to the lack of interest and customer loyalty to Jews ' businesses, the boycott failed. Along with the boycott, in 1933, Jewish civil servants, teachers, bankers, and lawyers were sacked and Race Science lessons taught that Jews were inferior. To add, in 1934, they were also banned from public places including swimming pools and parks. Along with their mental health being put at risk so were their material comforts.

The US's reaction to the Arab League boycott of Israel lays the foundation for the reaction of states and federal to the BDS Movement. A number of the reactions by different states including Illinois and South Carolina were discussed above. The federal regulations in an attempt to stamp the US' anti–Arab League boycott of Israel included, the Export Administration Act of 1979 (EAA) and the Ribicoff Amendment to the Tax Reform Act of 1976 (TRA).

This war was fought between France and Prussia with Germany as Prussia's ally. France was soon defeated and was forced to give up Alsace and Lorraine in addition to paying reparations to Germany totaling five billion francs of gold. France was now forced to face a unified Germany who soon became their enemy. The Franco–Prussian created a serious state of crisis between the new German Empire and the new French Republic.

The significance is that at this time the Arab nations and Israel were making no strides towards peace in the middle east. However, leading up to the Sinai–Suez war Egypt showed signs of wanting peace with Israel. For example, reports found that in 1953 "the Egyptians 'expressed a willingness to reach a secret agreement with Israel" which would include the permission of Israeli ships through the Suez canal (Tessler 339.) This shows that Egypt was not always absolutely against peace in the early stages of Jewish state. However, these Egypt tries for peace did not succeed. The recurring conflict between Israel and Egypt as well as raids coming in from Jordan eventually led to the Sinai–Suez war of 1954. During the war Gamal Nasser made defense agreements with the other Arab nations such as Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen (Tessler 347.) This shows the Arab nations were working together against the state of Israel once again. However, Israel and its allies of France and Britain easily won the war and left Egypt feeling humiliatingly defeated (Tessler 349.)

While Senator Elizabeth Warren is not a spring chicken and is white, that is where the similarities end. The following information is from "Elizabeth Warren" (2015).

Graduating the University of Houston with a speech pathology degree she became the first person in her family to graduate college. After two children, a divorce and earning her law degree Warren began to develop an interest in bankruptcy and how it particularly plagued middle class families.

The deployment of economic sanctions on the international stage by states to influence the behavior of other states has become the norm in International Relations. Despite the increase in popularity of this practice over the course of the past century, the question of its efficiency is one that is still debated and remains unanswered. The idea that putting economic pressures on a country to illicit a certain behavior or change in behavior from that country works in theory, but in practice, it is more complicated and does not necessarily work the way that theory suggests it should. Some economists and policy analysts have taken the approach of deconstructing the subject in order to consider what variable may or may not affect the efficiency ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Positive sanctions are meant to foster relations between countries. Negative sanctions are intended to cause another country economic harm. The debate around economic sanctions typically focuses on the negative kind. Sanctions can be unilateral – from one sender country to one target country – or multilateral from multiple countries. Multilateral sanctions can be orchestrated by one main country supported by other countries, or they can be sent under the auspices of an international organization. Raul Caruso distinguishes three different kinds of negative sanctions – boycotts, embargoes, and Kassim 3 financial sanctions. A boycott is the restriction of imports from the target country; embargoes are restrictions on exports to the target country; financial sanctions are restrictions on investment in the target country (Caruso "Should We Set" 23). Kaempfer and Lowenberg posit that economic sanctions can be proposed for the following three reasons: in response to a nation that threatens the wealth or security of the sender nation; to achieve moral or ideological goals; as a part of trade policy and commercial relations – i.e. in response to tariffs or quotas (Kaempfer 2). The question of whether or not sanctions are efficient is a difficult one to answer. A major contributing factor to this difficulty is the lack of a universal standard for gauging success.

In that period, there existed a labor union named the Knights of Labor, which committed serious boycotts. Their so–called organized boycotters were more like gangsters. Whoever was in opposition of the Knights of Labor would be isolated both commercially and interpersonally. They could barely be able to buy any food, because they were personally boycotted. If their friends saw them, cross the street. Finally this wicked boycott method encountered some diehard merchants. Esther Gray, who was a bakeress in New York, showed the mass that "a person may be placed beyond the reach of the boycott by public sympathy."(Glickman 140) That was an anti–boycott, "consumer power deployed in defense of a boycotted business."(Glickman 140) It is obvious for people with basic sense of right and wrong to see the misdemeanors of consumer boycotts in that period. The explanation is that those "effectiveness" and "success" of boycotters were shielded by the loops in legal system. The good side is that the Supreme Court is in continuous effort to make the "game" more fair with much attention directed at secondary boycotts.

By pressuring companies and institutions into giving their money to Israel's hands, it will protect Palestinians rights and ultimately lives. Ophir discusses the opposing argument by stating that, "the state apparatus and the majortiy of Israeli Jews do not recognize the right of Israeli citizens to question the basic tents of the Zionist regime and use civil forms of struggle to transform and democratize their political regime; rather they understand such a struggle as a act of treason" (Ophir 654). Ophir is saying that they don't understand the difficulty in trying to change a state to be only for Israelis and not a land in which Palestinians and Israelis can live together and coexist. Ophir believe that just because they don't understand this difficulty, like the "4.4 million noncitizens in the West Bank and Gaza Strip" in Palestinians reside in, you can just kick out, especially if it is such a huge proportion of people living on this land, living there for generations and generations down decades.

Cox, No. 90233–0 Date: March 9th, 2015 Word Count: 2450 words for discussion and conclusion sections QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Is a private food co–op boards' decision to boycott products an action of "public participation and petition" as covered under the statute RCW 4.24.525? 2. Is the coop member's lawsuit "based on" the boycott or based on the violation of the co–op bylaws? BRIEF ANSWERS 1. Yes. The board of director's decision to boycott products is most likely a matter of public participation and petition under RCW 4.24.525(2)(e) because it is an action of lawful conduct meant to further the right of free speech under the statute. 2. The Washington Legislature intended RCW 4.24.525 to be interpreted broadly to protect free speech. Interpreting a lawsuit to be based on an act of free speech would best effectuate what the Legislature intended.

Anti Semitic And Anti Zionist Movement By the late nineteenth century, the Jews, who had been in exile for almost two thousand years, found their ancestral homeland in Palestine, which was largely occupied by Arabs and governed by the Turks; this dilemma sparked many problems within the Middle East. Since the rise of the Zionist movement and the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, political leaders of predominately Muslim nations in the Middle East have made discriminatory prejudice anti–Semitic statements or actions. Allowing for apportioning or deflection of blame, contradicting the stated social and theological morality of the Islamic faith, this technique has been used as a tool for political control by regimes in this region for the past century. The relationship between anti– Semitic and anti–Zionist views in the Middle East are shown through the nature of the governments involved in the anti–Zionist movement, the relationship these nations had with the state of Israel, the effect it had on the Arabic people living within these countries and the assumptions made on Judaism and Zionism. After World War II, Britain found itself in intense conflict with the Jewish community over Jewish immigration limits, as well as continued conflict with the Arab community over limit levels, as they had to put an end to the British mandate set in Palestine.

Israel was founded in 1948 after being given to the Jewish people by Great Britain. Soon after Israel declared independence, all of the pseudo governmental Jewish institutions that were set up during the period under British rule, combined to form government departments. However, due to the state of its economy as well the more socialist leanings of the main political party, in the beginning there was strong government intervention.

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict has proven to be one of the most complex and "intractable" conflicts of modern history – or as some may even add – of all time. And after many decades of failed attempts at peacemaking in this region, there still seems to be no conceivable end to the conflict. During those same decades, most of the parties involved as well as the international community have embraced the idea of a two–state solution, but the question we pose today asks whether this solution is still a viable option considering the present context, and if not, is it finally time to consider a one–state solution?

Furthermore, the involvement and conflict–resolution approaches of the international community during the South–African ordeal differed greatly from those of today, since Israel has a more complex relationship with the United–States than South–Africa ever did and an international boycott of Israel would ultimately fail as it would be interpreted as a repetition of the Holocaust, which began with the simple slogan "Don't buy from the Jews" and which no one in their right mind desires today! (5) So, is a two–state solution a more viable option? One might think that a two–state option is a very remote possibility seeing the constant hostility from the Palestinian side, the crisis and disconnect between Hamas and the official Palestinian Authority, the fragmentation of the West Bank territory into districts due to growing Israeli settlements, and an almost inexistent peace process between the two nations in light of a unilateral Israeli approach to conflict resolution. However, it is also vital to underline that the lack of evidence of a one–state option being the optimal solution to the problem makes the route towards a two–state solution more compelling in comparison.

  • 54. The Political Relevance And Global Impact Of Mahatma... Niloufer Bhagwat's "The Political Relevance and Global Impact of Mahatma Gandhi" conveys her stance on Gandhi's influence on how different groups of people combated forms of oppression. Bhagwat says "wherever the political, economic, social, and ecological future of humanity and... earth is debated and discussed, Gandhiji with his simple precepts provides a guidance for all generations" (Bhagwat 33). I believe that her argument successfully convinces the reader that the principles Gandhi followed and the strategies he used, non–violent civil disobedience and non– cooperation, not Gandhi himself, left a lasting impact on the world. Earth faces many new challenges such as regions facing economic collapse, some of the most barbaric wars, and threats to the ecosystem in the 21st century despite many advancements made. Humans have become collateral damage of the market economy. Gandhi's principles, strategies, and critiques, as seen through satyagraha, non–cooperation and civil disobedience, continue to guide humans with these problems. Mahatma Gandhi, testing many strategies for the best course of action, was a non–passive practical political leader who believed in the unity of mankind and a seeker of truth. He found his start in South Africa while facing discrimination of Indians by its racist government. Taking the initiative and urging his fellow Indians to take part in non–violent acts of civil disobedience, Gandhi developed a reputation few could rival. He depersonalized ...

However, in Britain, the people vote for officials to make decisions for them, and everyone has a right to vote, but in Greece, free men (20% of the population) directly made decisions. Greek democracy also relied on slavery so people could have enough time to participate. 2C: In Greek symposion, or drinking parties, men drank as equals to discuss topics of intellect. Rome took wine more seriously, since it more strictly sets the status of a man, so much so, that the status of a person often determined which wines they were served at events like Roman convivium, the Roman equivalent of symposion. Convivium was a time to boast about your wealth rather than have intellectual discussions, and rather than drinking wine from a single bowl like the Greeks, drinkers usually drank from their own cups. This shows that the Greeks were more unified than the Romans, and, in a sense, more peaceful and accepting. 2D: Wine was a major part of Greek and Roman culture and trade, and played a significant role in shaping these two empires.

Osama bin–Laden and his supporters have claimed their hostility toward the West is partly a result of the United States' past support and involvement with Israel. U.S. involvement began during the conflict between Egypt and Israel, Great Britain, and France when their diplomatic intervention persuaded the countries to withdraw. The United States, however, continually supported Israel by aiding them financially and militarily. Israel proceeded to engage in the Six Day War of 1967, which caused the oil producing Arab States to issue a 15 percent reduction of oil production and an embargo of shipments to the United States. The October War soon broke out in 1973, and the same countries issued yet another reduction, this time a 25 percent reduction, causing the United Nations to call a cease–fire. The Arab nations and Israel both refused direct diplomatic relations with one another, solidifying their conflictual positions. American administrations however became intent on breaking the diplomatic barriers between the two groups. This brought the Arab nations and Israel into the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Large advances in the acclimation of peace were facilitated by America's Henry Kissinger in 1973.

Al–Sharari, by mobilizing his fictive history as a source of his racialization of the Chinese and Japanese peoples, he references World War II and other armed conflicts, as stages of their barbarisms and savagery, particularly in manslaughter. He further supports his imagination by claiming a first–hand experience and encounter that validates his reading of history. In which one of the races–the Japanese– has progressed out of its savagery, and the other–the Chinese–has not come out of its blood thirst. In this erasure of everything that contradicts his racialized history, he iconizes killing methods as an evidence of barbarity.

It was an uprising that was sparked from decades of political and territorial tension in the West Bank and Gaza. There were triggers immediately prior to the Intifada that sparked the heightened reaction however much focus needs to be placed in the long term causes prior to December 1987 to explain the First Intifada.

After the long battle against anti–Semitism and the most traumatic experience of the Holocaust, the Jewish population was compelled to find a nation that it would provide a safe place; such sentiment and obligation to the both physical and social survival of the population is sound and legitimate. However, Israel, as a nation, is in a tough spot: geologically, it is located in the Middle East, sitting on what used to be considered Palestinian territory; due to the Diaspora, new–not wholly new, but post–Diaspora new–groups settled in the region, and the founding of the nation is inherently in conflict with the both settler's right to live. Due to the Middle Easternism and its hostility to the West and the Israelites originating from the West in concept [sic], Israel's fundamental existence is threatened (Drake, ). As a result, whereas the Palestine–Israel conflict is situated in post–Cold War era that marks the decline in the physical military front, the foreign policy of Israel for the most part still adopts classical concept of security; alas, Israeli government always tried to incorporate human security concerns to be dealt during the peace processes with surrounding Middle Eastern countries, however short, which shows that the Israeli ...

It is essentially a struggle over land. Until 1948, the area that both groups claimed was known internationally as Palestine. But following the war of 1948–49, this land was divided into three parts: the state of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River) and the Gaza Strip (1).

After investigating the cituation, they came to an agreement that the country would have to be divided in order to satisfy the needs and demands of both Jews and Palestinian Arabs. Jews had acquired by purchase 6 to 8 percent of the total land area of Palestine amounting to about 20 percent of the arable land (7). The UN partition plan divided the country in such a way that each state would have a majority of its own population, although some Jewish settlements would fall within the proposed Palestinian state and many Palestinians would become part of the proposed Jewish state. The Zionist leadership accepted the UN partition plan, although they hoped somehow to expand the borders allotted to the Jewish state (4). The Palestinian Arabs and the surrounding Arab states rejected the UN plan. Fighting began between the Arab and Jewish residents of Palestine days after the adoption of the UN partition plan. The Arab military forces were poorly organized, trained and armed. In contrast, Zionist military forces, although numerically smaller, were well organized, trained and armed. On May 15, 1948 Zionist leaders proclaimed the state of Israel.
