Summary: United States president George W. Bush recently gave a speech in Israel; bush was visiting for the sixtieth anniversary of Israel. During the speech bush said, “Masada shall never fall again citizens of Israel Masada will never fall again and America will always stand with you.” Some people say that that is what he sounded like just before nine eleven. George W. Bush made a reference to Barrack Obama during the speech he said, “ Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorist and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” Some of the Knesset said that George W. Bush is one of them; another said that it was a memorable speech.

A) This article relates to the AP world history theme of impact of interaction among and within major societies, because George W. Bush visits Israel and gives a speech about how America will back up Israel no matter what.

B) Israel is only sixty years old so it is a young country and has in the past years faced many difficulties such as their conflict with Palestine over the holy land.

C) This article is written by Herb Keinon a male American writer for the Jerusalem post who is from Denver. 

D) This article shows possible biased because it was written from the point of view of an American who may want to make it sound like George W. Bush is doing a good job.

E) A missing point of view would be an Israel citizen this would be important because it would be good to know what the people thought about all of this.

F) I think that George W. Bush is doing the right thing, I think he is just trying to create peace.
