(1). An Israeli air strike has killed three Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip, the medical officials and the Israeli army said that the residents said the strike on Saturday targeted a car driving between the town of Khan Yunis and the Deir al-Balah refugee camp.Hamas said that the three men killed were members of its group, but officials declined comment on the allegations made against them by the Israeli military.But most of the Palestinian firing since has been attributed to Islamic Jihad.Despite the spike in tension of late, both Israel and Hamas, which rules Gaza, appear reluctant to be dragged into another bloody confrontation along the lines of the December 2008 - January 2009 war, which killed more than 1,400 people, the vast majority Palestinians.
(2). This kind of remind me of the dicussion we had about NATO but this time NATO doesn't have anything to do with it.
In the article that I have looked up was talking about how Yemani security forces have shot atleast 16- anti government denmonstrators. The reason that this happened was because the protestors started throwing rocks and stones at the police officers and so they started shooting. The key players involved was the Yemeni security force and the 16 anti government people. It affected the rest of the world because now people are lost without there family.
2.It reminds me of how we were talking about when people in foreign countryes are cought stealing they recieve severe damage.
There is a protest movement Middle East was 'born in crisis'

The key player in this conflict Remnants of the Ottoman and Safavid Empires,young revolutionaries,United States of America.
It can affect the rest of the world by getting everyone esle against the United States.
My discussion tying to my event, Are the regional protest movement affecting South Asia?

A significant event in the Middle East was when Inmates were killed in a Lebanon jail riot.

One of the men died by a heart attack during the riot while another men died by a stun grenade. The inmates overcrowded the Rumieh prison, burned mattresses and broke windows in protest at their continued incarceration.

The article that I just read about was how and Arab Israeli director and political activist was shot where he had ran a community theatre. His name was Juliano Mer-Khamis and he was fifty two when he had died. Two masked gunman had opened fired on his car. Police dont know who had did it, and also why they did it. It can affect the rest of the world because their was children who was at that center and now their director is gone. And also now they wont have a good director to make anymore theatre's.
2. pose a discussion questions tying your event to something we have covered in class.
How can the tragic killing of Juliano related to Janism.
the event that i picked was Israeli troops that had stormed Awarta village in the northern West Bank, and they arresting more than 100 women as they hunted the killers of an Israeli family. they said in Awarta, hundreds of troops went into the village shortly after midnight on Thursday and they began rounding up women, many of whom were elderly.They continued to carry out house-to-house searches through the night.The women were taken to a camp where troops took their fingerprints and DNA samples before the women were released.they are still 20 women that remain in custody.
this make me think of when we talked about they rights that people have in countries.
what rights do they have?
Dozens killed in DR Congo plane crash
This article talks about the Thirty-two people who died and one surviving when a United Nations plane crashed in Kinshasa. It is said that it crashed on Monday while attempting to land at the airport. The article also said it was peacekeeper on board of this plane.
What if these peacekeepers were to try to stop the libyan protest ?
This video was about how Lybia trying to overthrow the president. It caused a riot and a lot of difussion. They want a new president because the one that they have is not any good. They have destroyed their homes and the president is not letting it happen. That is what is happening in Lybia.
How has Lybia affected the U.S?
In Syria there was at least 27 protesters killed in the southern city of Daraa. thousands of ethnic Kurds demonstrated reform despite the Syrian president's offer this week to ease rules which bar many Kurds from citizenship. The investigation concluded that 70 people have been killed.
the bombings occured because the ppl that were killed and injured belong 2 the Shia Muslim family and they came back 2 claim there land.which cause the goverment of Baghdad 2 battle on a daily basis. its affecting us because its a push-pull factor of the U.S.
My dicussion question is: this article reminds me of when we had a discussion about what if we was in there country how would we react 2 whats going on.
19 people were killed during a bombing in Iraqi City. Some poiliceman were also killed and some injured. they dont knoww exactally who was doing the bombing but it occurs on a daily basis . This could affect people all around the world just by us going to Iraqi for war or just to being going to war and something bad may happen to us.
Q: what can people do in Iraqi to make sure the bombing wont happen again ?
Deaths in yemen protests- people was protesting then some violence break out between president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his opponents, And they both was going back an forth about who started it.three was killed and alot was injured. this all took place in the city of Taiz. this was all between Ali Abdullah Saleh forces and Tarek Bazley.this can effect other city close to it.

(1) Two bomb explosions near a crowded market in the Iraqi city of Falluja have killed at least six people and injured two dozens others, while two separate roadside bomb blasts in Diyala province have claimed 10 lives.
In a separate incident in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, a roadside bomb killed three people, bringing the total number of people killed on Monday to at least 19.
While violence has fallen sharply in Iraq in recent years, the government and security forces continue to battle an insurgency that has been carrying out attacks on an almost daily basis.
US forces are due to withdraw from the country by the end of the year.
The first blast in central Falluja killed two policemen with a bomb disposal unit that was sent to dismantle a car bomb. A second device exploded shortly after the first, killing four civilians, an interior ministry source told Reuters.
A police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the first explosion was caused by a roadside bomb, and the second was a car bomb.
"The roadside bomb exploded on a main road near a crowded market. When people gathered to evacuate casualties a nearby car bomb exploded," the officer said.
Nadhum Hadeed, a spokesman for Falluja hospital, said the facility received five bodies and 25 wounded people, and was in need of blood donations to treat the injured.
(2) Why did they bombed all those people in Iraq?
Egyptian blogger jailed for three years
This article was talking about how Maikel Nabil was i guess 'blogging' false statements about the military so they just sentenced him to three years in military off of that little thing he had did. So it's only affecting the Nasr City military and nobody else.
We never talked about something like this in class.
The article that I looked up was about how many people were killed in Iraq attacks by bomb blasts in Falluja, Diyala and Baghdad and how many people were in risk of dying at the hospital.Why dont leader step down and let someone better rule their country?
Syrian protests spread to Aleppo
This article was about students calling for freedom. At least three students have been arrested out of the whole march. Security forces used batons to scare away the students. About 30 people were killed.
- Why were people getting killed and arrested?
this article is about how some palestinian group members kidnapped a itialan person so that some of there group members would be released form jail. the goverment did not release the people so it was said that they killed the hostage. the next the body of the man was founf and the kidnappers were arested.
dicussion qeustion
why do you think the kidnappers chose to go about this the way they did?
1. Summarize the event in one paragraph (what is going on, why is it happening, who are the key players involved, and how will it or can it affect the rest of the world)
The Event that happened was that 34 Iranian Exiles were killed when Iraqi soldiers stormed the Camp. Most of the bodies appeared to have been shot, 3 of the bodies alos appear to have been crushed to death.. likely run over by a car.The raid targeted the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, which seeks to overthrow Iran's clerical leaders. I dont really think this will affect the U.S because most people dont really care about what happens.

Why do people always find death .. as a way to relatiate?
Whats going on? Is that Egyptian court has dissolved the former ruling National Democratic Party and ordered its funds and property to be handed over to the government. The Higher Administrative Court issued the order on Saturday, meeting one of the key demands of the protest movement that ousted former president. Why is this happening? because The president is not doing anything like basically he wants the government take over and a whole bunch people protest because they know if government take over they all basically would be dead.
Who are all involved with this, is Lawyers, Administrative court, The higher Administractive court, President, and Protesters.
This wouldnt effect the rest of the world it would only effect Egyptian.
*Syria to lift emergency law :
1. The emergency law in Syria is expected to be raised next week by many people. This is happening becuase people in Syria want to be safe and they want to have more order in their country! The Syrian people are civilised. They love order and they do not accept chaos and mob rule. Properties/land has been recently damaged/destroyed by groups of people/ mob rule. Some of the key people involved for the emergency law in Syria to be lifted is: Syria's president, Syria's government, and Bashar al-Assad(owner of a property). I dont think this could affect the world because this is only happening in Syria, but it can affect the people in Syria who: has jobs, has their own buisnesses, or people who own land/properties.
2. If groups of people/mobs started to damage properties and land throughout the United States, how do you think our president Barack Obama would respond to the situations?
two car bombs exploded near an ebtrance to baghdads green zone. it occured near a security checkpoint.an interior ministry said the casualties include iraq soldiers. but a doctor at al yarmuk said they had so far admitted 13 people with injuries.the two cars have burned up they were queunig in a line to ebter the green zone its ppossible they were carrying either roadside bombs or they were suicide bombers
**China's Bad Growth Bet
China's economy is overheating. It has grown for the last couple of decades on the back of the export-led industalization & weak currency; it has resulted in household saving rates, etc. China isn't suffering from a severe recession but as for Japan, germany, 7 other places in Asia there are problems. China's policymakers just might be able to maintain high growth rates, but at very high costs.

*Deadly Car Bombs Hit Baghdad Green Zone*
This paragraph was talking about how 2 cars mystery cars entered in Baghdads Green Zone. This crash killed 5 people and injured 22 people. After the cars exploded they also burned up. The people of Baghdad think that either it was a roadside bombs or some suicide bombers.
*QUESTION*
Why do you think Baghdad security grauds didnt stop the car to check for ID...?
What happend? deadly car bombs were set off. Killing five people, and injuring a lot of pthers.
Why? This happend near a security checkpoint. The explosion was about 150 to 200 meters form the western gate of the green zone. People feel like the two cars that burned were carrying bombs, or with some type of explosives. The drivers of the car were suicide bombers.
The article I looked at was the Deadly Bombs Hit Baghdad green Zone. This article was a bout two cars that exploded near the baghdad green zone. The officails said the blast took place 150-200 meters from the green zone. They believed the drivers were suicide bombers with explosives in the car. Five people were killed, and 22 were injured.
Question: Why do you think the bombers did this?
