AIC Conflict
The Arab-Israeli conflict refers to the political tensions and open hostilities between the Arab people and the Jewish community of the Middle East that have lasted for over a century. The conflict, which started as a political and nationalist conflict over competing territorial ambitions following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, has changed over the years from the large scale regional Arab-Israeli conflict to more local Israel-Palestinian conflict.
The U.S. has supported Israel as it's strategic ally in the Middle East. Not only is the U.S. heavily dependent upon the region's oil, but it has also used it's territory as a strategic American base. And it has been said by Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed F. Abo-Sak that, "While the United States has been enjoying the benefits of its Arab and Islamic Middle Eastern friendships, Israel has been enjoying the benefits of strong U.S. support."
I am representing Hillary Clinton, on the subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict she believes that, "America cannot solve the most pressing problems on our own, and the world cannot solve them without America. The best way to advance America’s interest in reducing global threats and seizing global opportunities is to design and implement global solutions. This isn’t a philosophical point. This is our reality."
