What I want to learn next

Things to make me go, 'Hmm...'


There's been much in the news lately about President Trump's decision to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and the outrage it has sparked among Palestinians.

I want to learn more about the tensions in the Gaza Strip, and why Israel is such a close ally of the United States.

Based on the reading I've been doing on other matters pertaining to the US and the world (that is, the relationship the United States has with other countries), It's not difficult for me to imagine that the move of the embassy offers some "advantage." (The president's motivators are well known to the world.)



personal statement

Humor posts aside, I only seek to understand the events I describe in these posts, and to form an opinion after considering the material I've gathered. I believe we need leaders in Washington to act in the best interest of the United States as a citizen nation of the world, and who represent the interests of the people they serve above the interests of party affiliation.
