Political Geography and Terrorism Rivalry between Israel and Palestine

1/ what is the main point of each assigned reading for today's class? If there are several different

points in each reading, then summarize ONLY one of them.

Politics and geography are strongly dependent. Politics exist in every man’s daily life be

it formal or informal and is dynamic just as human life. Although a large number of the common

citizen argue that politics does not affect their lives, the laws resulting from politics have a direct

impact on their everyday activities. Due to this we can conclude that politics is all pervasive.

On territory and terrorism in Israel and Palestine there exist a conflict between the two

neighboring nations. Israel take Palestinians for terrorists and have created well-manned

checkpoints (Jones) to monitor their activities. Israel ministry of defense argues that they have

the right and obligation to lessen the impact and scope of terrorism within their territory (Jones).

On the other hand Palestinians believe that terror attacks seek attention in order to reduce their

suffering which they have undergone for many decades

2/What is your opinion about each main point you identified in the previous question?

In my opinion, it is vital to accept that politics is all-present since this will allow each and

every citizen to make wise political decision and this will make a better world for everyone.
