Hi Everyone!
Glad to be back in Taiwan!
So our next KMUN class on Monday will be on Palestinian Israeli Relations. If you have time look up one article about recent news with Israeli Palestine relations. Grace will be giving a presentation on past Israeli history since the establishment of the Israeli state and Terry will be giving one on recent Israeli history. Then we'll have a discussion on the diplomatic state of this issue.
The Israeli/Palestinian issue has been a contentious issue for decades and has proven to be one of the most difficult diplomatic situations on the world arena. At World MUN 2010 the Yom Kippur war between the Israeli state and surrounding nations was a topic for the HGA, and the ramifications of decisions made during that assembly still shape relations in the middle east today. As many of you no doubt have discovered in the last class, the relationship of Israel with their surrounding nations, and particularly concerning their actions/inactions towards Palestine, is cited as one of the major reasons for tensions between the Middle East and Israeli supporters on the world arena, and is frequently used as a focal point for Islamic extremism.
I look forward to seeing you guys here!
Time: 2010 Dec 13 (Mon) 7PM~9PM (We're starting a bit later this time)
Location: KMU N110
Topic: Israeli/Palestinian Relations
Best,
Grace.
Ps: Next Class will be a mock MUN. Our agenda for that mock MUN will be discussed in this class and you will be representing the nations you presented in the last MUN class.
