I am a 22-year-old Jewish girl living in College Station, Texas with an interest in teaching math. You might be asking yourself why I would have an interest in Israeli events. Truth be told, it's not just because I am Jewish, although that is a significant factor. This past summer, I visited Israel, and it gave me a different perspective of the fighting between the Israelis and the Arabs. It also made me realize that things aren't always the way they are portrayed by the western media. Along with the historical significance that is wrapped up in Israel, there are so many beautiful sights that are worth preserving. The near constant fighting that occurs in the region is destroying some of these gorgeous areas. Israel really is like no other country in the world, and I feel that it is important to keep it the way it is. It was also very interesting to see how differently the Israeli people view the fighting and constant wars as opposed to other Jews around the world. Through this blog, I hope to share with you my insight into Israel. Talk to ya'll soon!
