....Palestinians.
(Re-posted from my tumblr:)
You're Kiddin' me Right!?
You know, I always felt slightly bad for the Palestinians and what-not, but this Italian dude on a mission to SAVE the Palestinians from oppression just got kidnapped and murdered for the Palestinian cause, by… the Palestinians. I want to scream irony, but my morality is keeping me from it. Hamas messed this up big time… but sadly I think no matter how much the Palestinians kill and murder people, Israel will always be the bad guy in world PR. I already feel someone screaming the Zionists are behind this.

Absent... Minded
I keep thinking I posted on here, because I keep a personal multi-media blog (tumblr) which is, of course, about the middle east. The link is www.bcmorris.tumblr.com
My personal tumblr is basically the same as this, except I post my views... which as you know, can be strong. OH and if you wanna see my middle eastern art-work, its there too =)

Terrorism Section
SO, I've got an awesome set of books in the school library "Encyclopedia of World Terrorism" Which is helping me out a bunch. I have about two pages written on terrorism, obviously not a large amount, because I've been following more current events. Even though this is the last day of the marking period, I will send you my thesis so far AFTER spring vacation so I can work on it some more.
OUTLINE:
Part Two: World
I. Terrorism
History of Terrorism
The [International] “War on Terror” in the Middle East
Terrorist Organizations
Al-Qaeda
Hamas
Palestinian Liberation Organization
(Hezbollah)
II. The West
United States Of America
European Nations
III. Diplomacy
The United Nations
I have covered
Terrorism intro, The History of Terrorism, The [International] “War on Terror” in the Middle East, Terrorist Organizations Intro, And Al-Qaeda
I have started researching the United States (Using Bush's original National Strategy for Combating Terrorism (2003) released by the Office of Press, and will update it using 2006 version), and will put an epilogue with Obama and Hilary Clinton's release documents on the end.
With the European nations, I'm going to focus on Britain and France, two countries that have huge investments in Israel, and maybe Russia because of their past connection during the Cold War to Afghanistan.
As far as "diplomacy" goes, I'm going to briefly explain some things like the Camp David Accords as well as movements passed in the UN. I won't go into detail of the UN because most of their movements have been laregly ignored and unbiasly Palestinian (not even really... just largely Arab.) So I'll mention them, and probably explain the pros and cons in each. (ESPECIALLY the original partition plan).
Well, hope this is thorough, get back to me soon =)

CE: IDF Saves Bambi
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4050655,00.html
It's sort of an irrelevant story about anything conflict wise, going on in Israel, but I liked this one because it was a nice uplifting story about how much even a military force (IDF) can care about somethign so small as the creatures within its borders. So basically, an IDF soldier pulled over a Palestinian's car who happened to have a bleeding doe in the backseat (Additionally had bags of protected plants. WHY, i have no idea.) But, the IDF saw the doe and carried it to their army base, transferred it to a local zoo hospital, and saved it. =) Kindness.
