Well tonight, while working, I happen to browse the internet looking for more information on the middle east and the palestinian-israeli conflict popped up and by mistake or probably luck I found a website that is claiming the unexistence of the palestinian territory and that is supproting Israel.
The website gives information about the Turks (currently covered in class) and how the palestinian did not have anything to do with their territory and in that instance that jews were there for more than 3700 years in what is today called palestinian territory.
Here is the link of the website for you guys to see.
Is this the truth or another bias source of information?
Guys there is the website for you to check and decide the real meaning of the website and its information.

I like the fact that your interested in what is actually happening in the Middle East. But, this sounds like another bias source of information. It is hard to find an article that isnt one sided, but im sure you have read enough of them to have heard both sides.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for the reminder on the bias issue, but what is not bias in this society, I have read and watch many sources and they all bias one way or another. But something that surprise me is that Middle Easterns are very smart and really good friends, not like they are mostly protrayed on the news as suicidal and conflictive war inclined type of people. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the course!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a shame to have someone claim that the Palestinian territory does not exist. And to top it off, if the Palestinian territory does not exist then who are the Israelis in a conflict with? I must say that there definitely strong bias on the website.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to see the article you were talking about, but I think you delivered the basic Idea of it.
ReplyDeletethe article says that jews were in the area for more than 3700 years, this is true, but are they the same jews that live in israel? NO.
jews that live in Israel are the jews who came from Europe after the holocaust.
According to historical documents.. the Palestinians went to the land before the jews.
the land was called "the lands of canaan" I believe it is mentioned in the bibal.
In the late bronze age, "the People of the sea" as the people of canaan called them imegrated to the lands. they came from greece, and they were called the "Pelist" they lived there with the canaans. then the hebrew campaigns came to the land in the iron age, and the Pelist faught alongside with the canaans to stop the hebrews. at that time the land was called Pelestia after the pelist. and thats where the name Palestine comes from.
Whoever of the jews stayed in the land, became palestinian... untill Today, there are afew palestinian jews that still live there.
