Essay On 9/11

In my opinion, I don’t know if any other approach would have been this effective. This allows we as readers to see more into the lives of Palestinians, rather than just read about it.

As the 1930’s came along, The Nazi’s set out a series of laws and regulations called ‘Nazi Laws’. One of the very first laws was ,”Laws against Overcrowding in German schools and universities”. This was a result of many children were looked down upon by Hitler and his Nazis as ‘racially inferior’. Letters from German Children to the editor of the Nazi tabloid Der Sturmer reveal a shameful potpourri Lettof and fanaticism against their Jewish classmates. The first punishment for the Jews and Gypsy children was to be presented in front of peers and downgraded by teachers as a lesson for the German children. Then all at once the children were restricted from all schools. Not long after the first act of public humiliation, the Germans invaded many Jewish neighborhoods, families and children were forced into overcrowded ghettos with scarce food resources and unhealthy living conditions . This was the Invasion of Poland, 1939. Jewish children died of starvation and little exposure to shelter, the great numbers of deaths caused by this were a mere indifference to the German officers. And because the food was such a high demanded resource, adults would send small toddlers between the crevices in the gates and over the walls to retrieve portions of food. This started a few of popular resistance activities, underground resistance was large. Sometimes if the Ghettos were run by Jewish relatives, certain ones could escape easier. Punishments would include

More than 995 childrens were dead by the israelis. Everyday the children have to go through the israelis. Everyday the childrens/adults thinking that are going to get killed or not. The reason why they feel this way because, they have weapons,tanks, and bombs. Its sad because the older kids who is in college professors don't care if they’re missing class and almost all of the students who can’t make it through the israelis is failing the class.

I was eating cheerios on the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, when a friend of my family’s came over and told us to turn on the news. A Boeing 767 had just impacted the north tower. Everyone was confused about what was happening, to include me. This is really the only memory I have specifically of the attacks on 9/11, when I was 5 years old. I knew and understood what had happened that day. What I never heard about was the legislation that passed in the days to follow.

9/11 was one of the darkness days in this country’s history and was absolutely a disaster. The death toll of 9/11 did not just stop with that day but followed into the months and years after. The original death toll of 9/11 was 3000 and hundreds of thousands died in the two wars that followed, in the first 18 months 100,000 Iraqis died, even more US troops did as well I’m sure. Of the 3000 that died on 9/11 200 of them were “jumpers” they were 7-8% of those who died that day. That was a very powerful piece that put those people’s choice into perspective. They knew that they were going to die they just had a choice to make. Either burning or suffocating to death or jump out of the window dying quickly and painlessly. When someone has to make a choice like that you know that whatever is going on is a disaster.

Children of the Holocaust were definitely a big deal of the Holocaust. How ever they were beaten, they did hard labor, and how they got used to it. The Germans killed at least 1.5 million children. This also included tons of Jews, Gypsies, and even one with physical and mental disabilities. Some children were kept alive for harder labor. Children who were born in camps and ghettos were sometimes alive because the prisoners hid them.

Joe Sacco's graphic novel, Palestine, deals with the repercussions of the first intifada in Israel/Palestine/the Holy Land. The story follows the author through the many refugee camps and towns around Palestine as he tries to gather information, stories, and pictures to construct his graphic novel. While the book is enjoyable at a face level, there are many underlying themes conveyed throughout its illustrated pages and written text.

Palestinian terrorist leaders often use teenagers to commit acts of terror because they know the Israeli legal system treats children more leniently than adults. Now 10 Democrats belonging to the Congressional Progressive Caucus are trying to give terrorist leaders yet another reason for using young people to murder even more innocent civilians. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., introduced legislation Nov. 14 – co-sponsored by nine other Democrats – calling on the State Department to “prevent United States tax dollars from supporting the Israeli military’s ongoing detention and mistreatment of Palestinian children.” Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., introduced legislation Nov. 14 – co-sponsored by nine other Democrats – calling on the State

When the nazis came to power in germany everything changed for Jewish children. Jews were the special target of the Nazi policies, which caused the holocaust. Jews and their child suffered at the hands of the Nazis from the beginning.

The film contained very descriptive words of speech from Elie as he re-lived his past and the actual location of Auschwitz provided quality imagery for people watching the film as well. Even with the quality imagery and descriptive text and loads of information, it even contains information in simple terms that anyone can understand, especially middle schoolers, as well as it all stays very interesting as you watch Elie and Oprah’s reaction as they walk further into Auschwitz death camp. This is why the documentary “Auschwitz Death Camp: Elie Wiesel and Oprah Winfrey” works best for middle schoolers because it’s easy to understand, provides loads of important and descriptive information, and quality imagery. So, if middle schoolers are learning about the Holocaust, they should take a look at this film because it’s sure to help them understand it and become more interested in the

In this film there is a lot of hate between the Jews and the Palestinians. The quote that Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only love can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In this film you do not see the powers of the two groups meet and discuss ways to make it better for each group. All you have throughout in this film is the hate for one another.

Furthermore, the Israeli occupation of Palestine that the film depicts is a part of the 2000-2005 second intifada between the two nations (Manekin, 2013). Nablus, in Palestine is where Said and Khaled are based, and the mission is to take place in Tel Aviv across the border. A noticeable feature of the movie is the concept of deadness, the two main characters are not suicidal but the life they are trapped in has created a sense of them being dead already (Nashef, 2016) this is represented by the oppression and the lack of opportunity that is present. This theme can be further seen in their town – Nablus. Due to the conflict, the landscape and infrastructure is bleak, destroyed and very much discarded. The depiction of the lifestyle experienced during that period of conflict, highlighted to me potential motivations.

As Gibreel and Burnat walk alongside the barrier, the scenes of dead bodies and pools of blood leave Gibreel extremely unphased. Any toddler, seeing such devastation and horror would normally be shaken, however, for Gibreel this is nothing new. Being born in this conflict has impacted his life, it has hardened him at such a young age. Burnat wants his audience to see the horrific scenes that Palestinian youth encounter on a daily basis as a result of this conflict, something that I hope few children should ever be exposed to during their

While my opinion can be debatable because of the severity of Muslim and Jewish religious beliefs, and “laws”, from what I perceived, the story focus is on the disparity of religion/race, and ethnicity. Considering that Muslims and Jews go way back, and that both groups have fought, and discriminated against each others religion, and moral beliefs, the tension between both group is tremendous. In the story, the protagonist reveals that their have been various terrorist attacks in Israel which allude to the growing racism and judgement innocent Arabs like him are victim to. During the story there comes a time where Tanks and Israeli troops surround and enclose the journalist’s village without explanation, impeding anyone from leaving. Electricity, water, and phone services are cut off, while the media/radio broadcasts fail to mention of the reality of the situation, increasing the suspicion that they are purposely hiding the truth.

Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, Israel’s and Palestine’s relationship took a turn, causing wars to break out and many unnecessary deaths to occur. Since then, things have changed greatly, and I don’t believe the conflict between them can currently be solved. The friction between these two countries and religions is still increasing, and so is the hostility that’s contained by the Palestinian people. Israel has committed many human rights violations, including killings, beatings, torture, and shootings at unarmed civilians; this includes children. Palestinians have no state or army, but only weapons such as bombs, knives, rocks, and many youths who are willing to die by using them against the Israeli troops.
