Peace in the Middle East

A topic brought up by not only Palestinians and Israeli's but peacemakers around the world alike. In an effort to try and find some common ground between. Both people President Obama held a peace talk. The article starts off by what exactly took place at the meeting, who was there, and what they were trying to accomplish. Many important people were there such as Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk. Compromises on how to make peace were discussed and although both parties wanted to come to some sort of resolution to hopefully end the fighting and stop the border disputes there was still some disagreement. Despite the difficulties of finding some common ground the conferences will continue and efforts will still be made until some sort of compromise is created and both parties are somewhat happy. The article is short and concise. It goes straight to the point about what was the reason for the meeting, who was there, and what was discussed. The author, John Kerry, goes directly into what happened as a result of the conference. Kerry states the important facts such as the small disputes between parties and the agreement of continuing these peace talks. Although he was straight to the point he probably should have added a little more information such as what exactly did both parties feel. Maybe some of the thoughts from both parties would have better emphasized his claim that there was confrontation. Despite his lack in evidence he wrote a well structures article. It was a quick article that was just trying to explain what took place and he did a good job of doing so in a well organized article. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23505954

  1. This article elaborates on a touchy subject, that is, peace with the Middle East. Your commentary reflecting the article is quite to the point as well as structured in chronological order, transitioning from beginning to end of the article. You might want to relay commentary towards the actual issue rather than solely focusing on the structure that the author displays. Otherwise your commentary is well articulated so great job!
