1. "An Israel Without Illusions"

     Jerusalem remains a never ending warzone. The controversial Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to outrage once again. Over the past three weeks, Jerusalem has become a warzone. The Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic organization, had dug holes between Gaza and Israel with an unkown purpose which many claim was for invasion. Having been found, the Haman people who were digging the holes escaped and hid in the midst of the Israelites. Recklessly, the Israel military fired on Israelitie villages in search of the Hamans. This act killed the few Hamans in charge of digging the holes however it killed many Israelites as well. Thus, the Israelities blamed the Hamas an vice versa leading to a very controversial conflict that has brought attention to the world. Currently, this conflict seems to be proceeding to an even longer and complicated situation; however, who will be the rightful side in the end?
     David Grossman, the author of this article, conveys his message using simplification and personal analysis. He explicitly speaks in first person and suggests his own opinion midst his article. The author starts his article simplifying and using facts about the situation in Israel then goes straight into giving his own analysis and opinion of the situation. The author uses simple words and many times uses informal language to convey his message almost like a dialouge. Throughout the article, the author is enthusiastic and gives a strong support for his views getting the attention of the reader. The article was very effective and the author did an excellent job in conveying his message.
