“Tension between Israel and her neighbors was caused by the failure to resolve the Palestinian question” To what extent do you agree with this statement?
The document discusses the tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbors. It argues that the primary cause of conflict was the failure to resolve the Palestinian question and establish a Palestinian state. This failure inflamed pan-Arab and pan-Islamic sentiments among Israel's neighbors and led them to support the Palestinian cause. The tensions were further exacerbated by the military strength Israel demonstrated in wars like the Six Day War and Yom Kippur War, as well as the proxy conflict between the US and USSR for influence in the region. While the Palestinian issue was a major source of conflict, resolving it may not be enough to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East.

'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Since the extraction of British forces from the Mandate of Palestine, that small stretch
of land has been the center of much conflict throughout the sixty years following. The actions of
both Jewish leaders and Palestinian supporters combusted into the Arab-Israeli Conflict,
centered around the much debated Palestinian question. The main reason for the conflict
between Israel and its neighbors was the inability to act on the Palestinian question, however
other factors did come into play in the conflict after the question was ignored.
The key factor in the development of the conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors does
come from their (originally) ultimate support of the Palestinian state. Due to the creation of the
Arab League after the Egyptian President Gamal Nasser, the rise of Pan-Islamism connected
many nations that had previously been under the rule of the Ottomans until their decline during
World War II and the separation of Islamic states by the colonial powers. As Samuel Huntington
stated: “Muslims in massive numbers were simultaneously turning toward Islam as a source of
identity, meaning, stability, legitimacy, development, power, and hope.” This connection
through race and cultural origins put the neighbors of the Palestinian mandate and its people
(Lebanon, Jordan, Syria) all in support of the Arabic people that had residence in the mandatory
Palestine before the movement in support of the Balfour Declaration of 1917. This move by the
British to put the Jewish “homeland” into the mandate of Palestine pushed two opposing
religions into 26,000 km2
of space. With the resurgence of Islamism, became a potent mix in
Palestine and caused much tension between the two states, and with the 1948 proclamation of
the Israeli state, obviously started over sixty years of conflict. As Flapan wrote: “the myths that
Israel forged during the formation of the state have hardened into this impenetrable and
dangerous ideological shield.”, which is what developed into their shield against the religious
connections that Arabs also had to the area – the majority of the claims that Israeli’s had to the
land were dure to the Torah’s mention of the “Return to Zion” that would take Jews back to the
land of Israel after the exile by Cyprus the Great in 538BC. This, in contrast to the claims of that
the Palestinians have to the land of Israel is based in the Canaanites whom travelled to Palestine
from the Arabian Peninsula, then were forced out by the Hebrews (Philistines), and then molded
back into Canaanite control after thousands of years. The mixture of historical control between
the two religious powerhouses is the key to the conflict between Israel and it’s neighbours.
Further fears are linked to the military prowess that the Israeli Defense Force portrayed in both
the 1967 Six Day War, but also the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In both, a multitude of Arabic nations
were unable to defeat the single Israeli force, moreso in Yom Kippur, as while many Arab
nations consider that “the Crossing” was a success as the first time an Arab force made it into
Israel, the conflict was over in less than a month (with the Israeli forces ending only 80km from
Cairo after an originally Egyptian attack on the Sinai Peninsula). This caused the need for an
increase in foreign support, which was the Carter Administration moving to address the peace
talks of 1979 in Camp David aimed at bringing peace between Israel and it’s neighbors.
2. President Sadat of Egypt ceded to the United States’ demands and acknowledged the Israeli
state, which led to the dissolution of the Arab League. This was vital in changing the structure of
the conflict between Israel and its neighbors, as the acceptance of the other Arab states of
Israel’s place in the Middle East caused the contention to move from Israel to Palestine. This
was due to the movement of the refugees within Israel’s neighbors and the safety concerns that
they brought with them. Benny Morris claimed this to be true by writing that “the Israeli Arabs
are a time bomb. Their slide into complete Palestinization has made them an emissary of the
enemy that is among us.”
The other defining aspect of Israel’s relationships with its neighbors comes from its foreign
support. Since the inception of issues between communism and “democracy”, the United States
and the USSR have been at odds over their influence, and none more so than in the Middle East.
Both nations felt like they had strong connections to the Israeli cause (the US had a large Jewish
lobby in the Capitol after the movement of Jews after World War II, and the USSR felt a
connection as the Arab treatment of the Israelis reflected their own treatment from the US), but
the strong Jewish lobby in the United States became the major supporter for the Israeli cause,
leading the Russians to move towards supporting the larger Arab leaders such as Nasser, King
Hussein of Jordan, and the many rulers of Syria. Through efforts such as the Czech-Egyptian
Arms Agreement of 1955, the leaders of many USSR nations influenced the Arabs into
continuing the struggle against the Jewish people. For the first thirty years of conflict, this proxy
war for control of the Middle East between the US and USSR was a clear example of another
failure to resolve tensions between Israel and her neighbors. As historian Efraim Karsh wrote
“All agree that Western imperialism bears the main responsibility for the endemic [political]
malaise plaguing the Middle East to date.”
Whether we accept where the Arab-Israeli conflict has lead to today, its inevitable to
acknowledge that the nations inability to resolve the Palestinian question has lead to the
constant tensions between Israel and her neighbors. But is this a question that will ever be
politically resolved, or will nations fall back into disarray before we see peace in the Middle
East?
