POLI 330 Week 7 TCO Assessment
(TCO 9) As the simulation shows, Muhammed’s father was killed by the Israelis in their war of
independence, as they attempted to defend their state and enforce the boundaries established by
the UN. Although this was an international decree, all Muhammed witnessed was his father’s
