Abortion

This is topic that causes controversy in the entire world is a serious problem that should concern us all. As we know abortion is illegal, however, some countries try to legalize this kind of acts for many reasons one of them may be because they are over populated. On the other hand some third world countries are also trying to legalize abortion because poor people who can not afford buying ant conceptive drugs are forced to bring children to the world in bad living conditions and this situation increases the poor population of the country .In most of the cases abortion is being performed by irresponsible teenagers who begin to explore their sexuality at a very young age without thinking in the consequences of their acts.

Abortion is a serious theme. The Catholic Church says that is a sin because no one has the right to take away the life of another human being no matter the motive a person has. But no everyone thinks like that, before judging a person for their acts we have to know the reason for which they did it. Abortion has its pros and cons. some people think that it should be legalized because everyone is responsible for their own destiny and for that reason they have the right to decide what to do with their lives. In some cases abortion is necessary because the pregnancy implicates the risk of the mother of losing her life. Governments don’t care about this. Like for example in Colombia, there was a case in which a poor woman that was pregnant and whose two kids suffered of cancer was told that she had to receive a medicine that could cause her to lose her baby if not she would die. So the doctor decided the life of the baby was more important than her life.

She is very sick and has no money to give to her kids so if she die who is going to take care of her kids. The government is not going to help her, so what can she do? And this is not the only case in world. Nowadays these kinds of things are very common. When someone has been raped abortion should be considered like a possible solution because they are not responsible of what happened.

But the government doesn’t care about the people’s lives; they only care about themselves, so this has to change and create new manners to help some people. But there are some other people who are against this, and do not care about the possible reason a person has to do this things, like the president of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe who is against abortion.

This issue has become a controversy because everyone has a different point of view towards it. Some people are against it and some are not. In my opinion, in some cases abortion should be legalized like for instance in the case of the Colombian mother mentioned before, because not only her life depends on this but also the future of her two other kids. Some people think that we can get to an agreement and find the best solution to these problems but this subject is too complicated and there will always be someone against any decision that can be made because everyone has a different perspective when it comes to abortion. I believe that when it comes to take such a difficult decision you have to consider all the possible consequences it can bring.

Israel and Palestinian

THE ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

The Jewish people, who believed throughout their history in the Promised Land

according to the Old Testament, considered a natural right the creation of their own

state, especially after so many years of being forced for different reasons to find refuge

in Europe and parts of Africa. This continuous persecution motivated the Jews to

position themselves as influential members in the societies were they lived gaining

importance and power in the banking system, trading system and consequently in the

political system. This influence helped in creating a movement (Zionist) which worked

with determination rallying all The support from the most important European and

American actors to attain their historical goal, which was the creation of the Israeli

state and their own Country.

It’s important to mention the penetration of the Zionist movement, especially

in Great Britain and the United States, resulted in influencing the policies of these

governments in the creation of Israel, the United States recognizing the new states, just

16 minutes later after its declaration of independence, and against the opposition of all

the Arab states.

Since British policy in Palestine was not able to find a solution to the complex

situation, the United Nations proposed in November of 1947 the division of Palestine

between Jews and Arabs. The proposal was rejected by the Arab states, which led to

series of violent acts by the Arab population.

The big powers like Great Britain, United States of America, Russia, and France,

Had different policies towards a solution: the British feared to losing its influence in

the area were not contemplating the partition of Palestine, the United States, though

considering the Jewish votes as an important element in the presidential elections was

not willing to lose the vital interest they had in the Arabian peninsula, the oil. France

also feared that the division would cause a series of problems in their colonies in North

Africa. This conflicting situation among the world powers led to a decision were by the

International Security Council nullified the resolution of the general assembly, calling

for the partition of the country. This new situation forced the Jewish community to act

on its own and create the national Jewish council and a national administration on

Palestine. This meant war. That same day the liberation army formed by expatriate

Palestinians invaded Palestine and suffered a defeat by the Israelis, which declared the

independence on May 14, 1948.

The defeat of the liberation army of Israel led to a mass exodus of Arab

Palestinians into the neighbouring countries (500,000 out of 650,000 Arab Muslims

and 40,000 out of 80,000 Arab Christians).

The Arab Israeli conflict nearly 60 years old has not up to this day, found a

Lasting solution despite all the U.N resolutions, the intervention of the great powers

and the international community.

In my opinion unless a just solution that satisfies the Palestinian Arab rights such

As the creation of a viable and independent state, the resolution of the status of

Jerusalem which is of great importance to Jews, Muslims and Christians, he right of

The Palestinians to return to their land without any preconditions, as well as the

Recognition by the Palestinians of the right of the Israeli state to live along side its

Arab neighbours in peace and harmony, can then a new horizon flourish (and a brighter

future for this land that gave birth to all the prophets and religions and to the cradle of

civilization). It’s only then when all people, Arabs and Israelis, Christians, Muslims

and jaws See themselves as guardians and custodians of all the historical values, and

knowledge of mankind, then a prosperous and lasting peace can be attained.
