Miguel Lopez speaks about US support of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Audience and Agenda:
Miguel Lopez is a student at the University of Oregon who is studying international relations with a focus on the Middle East. He is also taking Arabic, which, he says, contains an element of education on the culture and politics of the Middle East as well as the language. In addition, he considers himself a news and politics enthusiast and reads various Middle East papers in his free time.
Usefulness:
Miguel spoke of his reluctance to take a side in the conflict, citing its long and complicated history. He also said, however, that if any major world power would be able to bring peace to the region through negotiations, it would be the United States. “Nobody else really seems to be doing anything,” he said.
