Content Question # 3 - Palestinian - Israeli Conflict - The Israeli writer Amos Oz wrote, "And in this respect, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy, a clash between one very powerful, very convincing, very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful, no less convincing claim." How accurate is this statement?
Content Question # 4 - Arab Spring - The Arab Spring when it first began was often compared to the end of the Cold War in Europe in 1989 when the countries of Eastern Europe moved from communist dictatorships to liberal democracies. However, since then, as some of the countries have fallen into civil war and others have returned to dictatorship, people have begun to compare them to the Revolts of 1848 in which democratic and nationalist groups only briefly overturned the traditional monarchies of Europe. Which analogy is better?
