The Middle East – The Politics
The U.S., the U.K. and the French military responded with force after haunting images of poisoned and dying children surfaced in the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack in Syria. President Donald Trump promised a swift response and followed through with bombings of strategic targets in Syria. What does this mean? What should we understand about the politics surrounding the building of Israeli settlements? Is a two-state solution the answer to the Palestinian homeland question? How should people view the strong hand of Benjamin Netanyahu in leading Israel’s government? Should Jerusalem be recognized by the United States as the capital of Israel? Is the PLO a terrorist organization? We might not get to all of these questions, but we’ll do our best.
