On Wednesday evening, a rocket was fired from the country of Gaza and landed in a shopping center in Ashkelon, Israel. Fifteen innocent people were wounded in this attack, which was done by two terror groups, the Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees. Israel believes that the rockets were provided by Iran. After this took place, many Israelis said that the attacks have been going on for too long now, and they need to start fighting back and do something about it.
A) This article relates to the theme of ‘Impact of technology, economics, and demography on people and the environment’ because other countries are using their technology to hurt the Israeli people.
B) Israel has been in a constant war against Iran and has suffered from many other terror attacks from them. They have also suffered several attacks from the Hamas, an organization that is against the Isralis.
C) This was written by the staff of the newspaper, so they are an Israeli and an insider on this issue.
D) Throughout the article, there are a lot of references to quotes from different people, all with the same idea that Israel should get stronger and fight back. Many even want the Hamas to be killed. Because he included so many quotes about this, and he is an Israeli, the author most likely agrees with what these people said and is in favor of Israel rather than the terrorists.
E) A point of view missing is from one of the Hamas. We could see what their feelings are towards the Israelis and what their reasons for their attacks are.I think it is terrible that there is constantly so much terror attacks between so many different groups of people. Also, the fact that completely innocent people are being injured and killed is definitely not good, and needs to stop.

Hey Nicole, I think this was a really good topic and article to pick because it is so complicated. Not so much to understand but there are soo many opinions and possibilities of who it could have been. It is a sour subject, terrorism but I agree with you. I think you did a really good job with this article.
