The Haganah, the Irgun, and the Lehi were different Zionist military underground movements that were active during the duration of the British mandate. Their goal was to establish an independent Jewish state in Palestine. These movements fought hard and used particular strategies in order to reach their goal. However, many of the strategies they used to deal with the British and the Arabs during the period of the mandate are frowned upon by some and even viewed as acts of terror. In my opinion, the
The War of 1948, also known as the War of Independence, was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The war began May 15, 1948 when units from the armies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq invaded Israel launching a war that lasted until December 1948.# The war resulted in the defeat of the Arab forces and the success of Israel as a newly established state. It is evident that the Arab forces were not successful in the first Arab-Israeli war because the Arab army lacked motivation, education

It was last summer, and we were down in Utah to visit
The Book of Mormon is the records of the people on the land of ancient America. These records were engraved on metal plates, and was later quoted and abridged by a prophet-historian names Mormon. Although many people who don’t believe in the Book have said many bad things about it, indeed, the Book of Mormon is very important to our church. In the past, others have referred to the book as “Joseph Smith’s Gold Bible” or “the Mormon Bible”, but in the church, members have been taught to call the book
Branching Across the Continents According to the prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, “The parable of Zenos, recorded by Jacob in chapter five in his book, is one of the greatest parables ever recorded” (Smith 4:141). In language that rivals the best literature, Zenos’ allegory of the olive tree powerfully conveys the history of the house of Israel over a time span of thousands of years using symbolism that no man could have written. In addition to containing the historical value of the scattering and
buffalo they had to stop because they said it was bad to split the heard so they let the buffalo pass and the said that that was the coolest thing ever and I bet it was amazing. They arrived in the Utah valley September, 1862 they eventually moved to Lehi. Where they live...
arrived in Hawaii, New Zealand, and Samoa after a missionary’s vision in 1851 lead the Church to believe they had religious destiny in Polynesia and Israel. During this time, church leaders had been stating that the Polynesians might be descended from Lehi, an important religious figure in the Book of Mormon- particularly the Maori people. Upon arriving in Hawaii, the church sent missionaries to Lanai, but after corruption and difficult environmental conditions, the church refocused their efforts. In
For my research proposal, I wish to discuss the involvement of the LDS church, known as the Mormon Church, within the Indian removal that took place during the 1830’s. The Indian Removal Act was passed approximately one month after the initial organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The founder of the LDS church, Joseph Smith, received a revelation that he was to preach his gospel in Indian Territory. In September of 1830, roughly 6 months after the founding of the church
THE KASTNER AFFAIR Recently, BBC radio has broadcasted an unusual program about a controversial person and a conflict of interest in which he was involved. In March 1957, Rezso Kasztner was assassinated in Tel Aviv. He was a Hungarian Jew who had saved nearly 1700 people from the Holocaust by negotiating with Nazis. In Israel he had been accused of being a Nazi collaborator. After Hitler attacked Hungary in March 1944, and the local Jews were gathered together and expelled to Auschwitz
The Importance Of The Book Of Mormon. In the mission I learned something that certainly changed my view of the scriptures and especially the Book of Mormon. In the Mission I learned the importance of the Holy Spirit in the work, "if we do not have the Spirit we can not teach". By studying the scriptures we read in Romans 10:17, the Apostle Paul tells us that "faith is by hearing and hearing is by the word of God," and in the book Preach My Gospel chapter 3, in the lesson 3 in the beginning of the
“O wretched man that I am! ...I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me!”. “My God hath been my support… He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh”. “Awake my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul” (Book of Mormon). All of these sentiments were expressed by the great prophet Nephi in what is arguably the only psalm of the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 4:16-35--more commonly
A conflict between Palestine and Israel began when a promise was made by Britain in 1917 to make Palestine Israel’s homeland, and their belief that the land was meant for them since biblical times. Despite their beliefs and Britain’s promise, it still does not give them the right to drive Palestinians out of their homes. They should negotiate and come up with a peaceful agreement instead of causing conflict and violence. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians still exists today, they have
Jerusalem, a city like none other, possesses holy religious sites and constant social conflict. It is the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict, with members of each group struggling to coexist with the other. 65 years have passed since the declaration of the State of Israel, yet the Arabs and Israelis have not come to terms on any sort of permanent peace agreement. Part of the struggle in Jerusalem, over the years, has been radical groups on each side taking the conflict to new heights. Jihadist organizations
ted bundy Theodore "Ted" Bundy was something of a celebrity throughout the 70's and 80's. He allegedly killed 36 women, but by his own admission, there were at least 100 more unaccounted for. His trial was marked by alot of pomp and arrogance on his own part, and the media and public ate it up. He went out with a bang in 1989, when he was at long last, executed by electrocution. Below is the list of women he murdered. Katherine Merry Divine, 15. Disappeared: Nov 25, 1973, from Seattle
The westward movement was a time period from the 1840’s to the 1860’s, where the Americans traveled west for search of land and/or gold. In this essay, you will read about the wagon trails, Manifest Destiny, people, medicine, religion, politics, railroads, and the gold rush. There were numerous reasons of why people came west on the trails. Many wanted land, which was free as long as you settled and farmed on it. Others sought gold, considered an easy way to get rich. A number of people hoped that
Murder in the Bible The act of murder is rampant in the Bible. In much of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night. In addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God's irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that defy any rational explanation such as killing children
