Trapped in a warzone… People are dying, suffering and desperate for freedom. For many innocents across the Middle East this is the current situation they are living in.

His views often put him in direct conflict with those who would have Israel erased, or at a minimum, dissolved into irrelevance. Mr. Sharon’s views about Israel and its conflict with the Arabs were cemented early in his

The Formation of Arab Nations Much of the modern political Arab world was born at the end of World War I, as outside powers divided up their shares of territories that were loyal to their regimes. For example, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon came to exist along side the precarious state of Palestine. By World War II, these states had begun to want independence, and the following decades would witness revolution, regime change, violence, and, ultimately, a break from the grips of the Ottoman Empire
