Although this isn't completely related to Iran and women rights, it
still pertains to what we studied. In Palestine as we know, there is
constant conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis. The conflict
traces back thousands of years to when the Canaanites claimed the
land. Here is a great website that shows some very upsetting things
done to people.
http://www.annainthemiddleeast.com/ This, just like
the links above, show oppression and racism towards a group of people.
The Palestinians are treated very poorly by many Jews and Israelites.
People on both sides disagree with the other side's point of view, but
there are many people that don't want the conflict that there is. Many
want peace and justice, and no more war. Yet, due to small and radical
groups of people, violence persists. Change can be made and people
need to stand up for what they believe, just like Martin Luther King
Jr. did. He stood up for what he believed knowing full well he might
be killed for it. I wish there was something more I could do to help
out. Just like Copenhagen, political leaders need to take action and
do what is right. I definitely recommend people check out the site!
