Israeli Position towards increasing settlements in West Bank against UN resolution mandates to cease
Israel Palestine Conflict:
Two groups of people that claim the same land
Ottoman Rule for centuries that was changing in new ways. In the region people of the area were defining a national heritage calling themselves Palestinians.
British mandate for Palestine, tension for Jews and Arabs grew by 1930’s. Militia formed to fight the British Rule.
After Holocaust, there was a global initiative galvanized by atrocity to give Jewish people their own state. They say their history and need for safety in homeland justified it and many Jews ad already moved there.
In 1947, United Nations Approved a plan that would divide the land between Palestine and Israel which eventually became the West Bank and region known as Gaza all part of the “Green Line”. City of Jerusalem was to be a special international city open to both.
Independence for Jews was stated but Arabs saw the UN plan as just most European colonialism and began a war with Israel. The new state of Israel won this war and took on even more land claiming the whole region with the victory. They also expelled huge number of Palestinians from their homes resulting in 7 million refugees.
1967, Israel and neighbouring Arab states fought another war and were then occupying territories including Palestinian territories with military even in West Bank and Gaza.
Basically a big back and fourth for land in this region. But along this timeline since Israeli occupation something has been happening. Basically, Israeli “settlers” have been going into West Bank making it much more difficult for Palestinians to have an independent state.
A violent extremist group in 1990’s emerged known as Hamas.
Oslo accords, potentially first big step for Israel but extremism has kept a permanent conflict going and negotiations meant to hammer out peaceful options have been thwarted.
Two infanata’s later, the Israeli politics shifts hard-right. Palestinians feel like they are under an ever-growing occupation by Israel.
Israel has put Gaza under a suffocating barricade and blockage.
The occupation keeps things at bay to a degree, but their occupation is not a long-term solution and the settlements go against the Geneva convention and many other international resolutions set forward including Oslo accords under Clinton.
Undeterred by a resounding 14-0 vote in the U.N. voting to condemn Israeli settlements, Netanyahu came out saying they would continue to build new settlements in East Jerusalem as well as new regions amidst West Bank.
Trump’s position is to further support this against the world general consensus that likely has Israels best interests at heart, for these settlements are increasing instability in the region, increased terror attacks, perhaps a third Infanata. This is quite dangerous overall for the region though hope is seriously waning for Palestinians and Arab support for them in the region is waning. Egypt and Jordan increasingly more peaceful relationship with Israel. Their liberal values seem to supercede very much less progressive Arab belief systems and undemocratic spheres of influence which shroud the potential for Palestinians to be awarded very much respect in the ongoing conflict especially from U.S., a long-time military supporter and ally of Israel.

Walking on a sunny December Sunday in London
Admiring the sights and sounds of this great city there are few better ways to enjoy it than by putting on your winter coat and simply going for a walk. It’s a day for rest, thus this city rests too. But to feel that calmness of its latency, before the hustle of Monday to Friday resumes, finding the right walk that offers a break from the madness of direction, is something to consider and if planned appropriately, can be very relaxing.
Here are some of the walks that can inspire at the right pace:
1. Exploring the canals - London’s city canal was originally built as a tow path for horses to pull boats and bring goods into the city centre. Starting in Regents Park, there is a small coffee shop called Benugo, which could be a good place to meet a fellow walker. Departing for either direction, finding the canal is easy. Walking past the boating lake north, you will find entrance to the canal at the edge of the park, and can walk towards Camden Market or to Little Venice. To avoid crowds, walking towards Little Venice is suggested as the mayhem of Camden on a weekend can be overwhelming. Towards Little Venice The Waterway cafe is a great stop for anyone looking to spend a bit of time outside in a nice establishment and take it slow.
2. The Hampstead High line - Beginning from Hampstead station you can head down Flask Walk to Well Walk to arrive at the Heath. Along that road are houses of John Constable, a man who lived in the 1820’s when he was painting his cloud studies on the heath. Down Willow road two more famous houses include that of Erno Goldfinger, a modernist architect, who built his home in the late 1930’s to trial his ideas. The other, known as Regency house, is that of John Keats, the home where as a young poet he wrote Ode to a Nightingale. Once inside the park, there are options of either walking towards the grounds of Kenwood House, NE, or towards Golders Hill Park, NW, either way both offer a relaxing way to walk through trees and feel as though you’ve escaped London for trees, space, and if some picturesque views.
3. The Queens Walk - Beginning at either St. Jame’s Park station or Westminister- this walk will present a more touristy flew of crowds but is a nice way to capture much of London’s most iconic sights. From St. Jame’s Park, walking past Westminster Abbey is definitely recommended. From there approaching Big Ben you can walk across Westminster Bridge and turn left. Walking along South Bank there are options to stop in the Tate Modern then head North towards St. Paul’s Cathedral, back across the Thames, or continue to make your way to down to London Bridge and grab some food from a stall. Crowds can be heavy here but the food is eclectic in options, and the market has some great choices for festive purchases.
4. The Royal Parks - Beginning from Green Park station - walking through the Royal Parks is often the easiest way to enjoy London’s magnificent greenery without stretching your commute or trying to overdo it. Coming out of the station you can commence walking south, down and around St. Jame’s Park, then up through Wellington arch of Green Park, and towards Hyde Park. Inside Hyde Park, a nice stop for is at the Serpentine Cafe though the atmosphere can be a lot dependant on the crowd.
5. Square Mile Walks - Another option, though slightly more designed for those focused towards seeing London rather than relaxing and having a stroll, is to take a more guided walk. Within the following website are a number of city walks, that while not as green in landscape, can show a side of London perhaps otherwise overlooked: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/visit-the-city/walks/Pages/self-guided.aspx
- For viewing architecture, there is a walk for that
- For taking in the old world where Charles Dicken’s found his inspiration, there too is a walk for that
- For Shakespeare’s experience of London, there too is a city walk that can satiate your wistful wishes to better know the man who first penned in iambic pentameter.
Alas, there is only so much walking that can be done on a single Sunday, and too many any other lovely options such as Epping Forest or Richmond Park along the Thames, or the beautiful stroll along the canals out to Victoria Park and around Hackney, or simply keeping it local in little parks such as Clissold or Brockwell. All have their own local beauty and options for cafes, pubs alike, but hopefully to this offers a reasonable overview of some options for how one could spend a delicate, relaxing Sunday in December.
