Syria

Overall the Syrian civil war conflict claimed tens of thousands of civilian and military personnel. The country is in turmoil and people don't have homes, this blog is not about a specific event but instead is about the country and its people. The civilians want nothing more than freedom and maybe even some democracy, the Syrian government wants to stay corrupt and will murder more and more people until they are too afraid to question them. Don't get me wrong, the civilians murder people on the other side too but they are purely defending their families, rights, and their freedom. You don't see as much about Syria in the news anymore for some reason, i believe this is like this because of the Syrian government restricting media and not letting people know exactly how many people are killed or how they bombard villages. Many see the civilians as terrorists but people with a right mind will see that they are rebels or freedom fighters.

Israel

So i'm sure most of you are unaware of the events that recently occurred between the country of Israel and the country of Iran. So they are basically mortal enemies with each other and if Iran had its way there would be no Israel and if Israel had its way Iran wouldn't exist. Iran somewhat feels powerless since the US granted Israel with nuclear arms, Iran can't get nuclear arms because of international laws. They feel threatned by their rival so they started taking action so Israel was faced with the choice of retaliating and possibly be destroyed or not and still possibly be destroyed. Iran has been accused of developing nuclear arms but inspections prove other wise and Israel wants to attack them to stop their attempts. Israel wants to be the only middle eastern country with nuclear weapons so they want to maintain their title.

Inflamed Protests

Self-immolation or the act of lighting ones self on fire. This is commonly used as protests against communist China by Tibetan monks who feel their religion is at stake. Eight self-immolation have occurred within a week  and the Chinese government blames the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama blames the Chinese government, I would have to agree with him, the Chinese government opposes anyone trying to change in any way. They believe the Tibetans support Japan who China is having a territorial dispute with. With tight restrictions on religion the Tibetans would rather die then meet the policies China assigns.
