Recap of class on 3/25/15 North Africa/Middle East and Israel with some Terrorism on the side

Well we covered North Africa and the issues with the encroachment of the Sarah (by the way this means desert so don't say it twice) into populated areas causing conflict. Speaking of conflict we had the pleasure of seeing Sun City, South Africa and the De Beers family and their monopoly of the worlds diamonds, buying up of Conflict Diamonds, the use of slave labor to work said mines, and the squandering of a major natural resource WATER to do their patented flood mining. So go ahead and get her a Diamond you "TOOL"! Big supporters of Apartheid also! The 1%, love'em or leave'em!

Then we move into the Middle East and how the main force that drives population growth is access to water. The fact is that more and more areas are loosing this precious commodity. On the other hand they do have oil and the (haves') have "more money then God" while the "Have nots" Have  God and nothing else. Meanwhile the two Islamic powerhouses(Saudi Arab and Iran) wage proxy wars against each other. The latest is in Yemen where Iran Backed "Hootie rebels" tried to overthrow the elected government with the backing of Iran. The Saudis are dropping bombs to maintain the Pro Saudi regime that was in place. Meanwhile with the with all the confusion there seems to be a golden opportunity to Foster Radical Islam. Why do they hate us? Well we promote freedom, women's rights, and materialism. How horrible! It's always better to oppress all women, Kill women, children, and anyone who wants to speak out about the brutality. All this in the name of religion or just to cover the brutality of man. In class it was pointed out how Israel used terrorism to help achieve its state hood but should be ready to do it again if threatened. Well if we're going that route then what about a tea party, the targeting of Royal goods and employees, and full on attacks by a rebel alliance.
