In June of 1787, James Madison addressed the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on the dangers of a permanent army.
“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,” he argued. “The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.” Oil & WWI. Ismail Haniyeh. Ismail Abdel Salam Ahmed Haniyeh (Arabic: إسماعيل عبد السلام أحمد هنية, Ismaʻīl Haniyya; sometimes transliterated as Ismail Haniya, Ismail Haniyah; Arabic pronunciation ) (born 29 January 1963) is a senior political leader of Hamas and formerly one of two disputed Prime Ministers of the Palestinian National Authority.

Early life and education[edit] Israel Review (HIR) By Daniel Feith The close relationship between Israel and the United States was born out of Cold War tensions projected onto the regional conflict in the Middle East.
Following the 1967 war, relations between Israel and its neighbors remained tense and by 1970, Israel found itself entangled in war of attrition with its southern neighbor Egypt. The U.S., implementing its policy of containment at the time, was competing with the Soviet Union for influence in regions around the world. The substantial increases in U.S. aid to Israel during the 1970s, however, were based only in part on Israel’s immediate security needs. The major change responsible for increased assistance was not a worsening of Israel’s security but rather a revision of American Cold War strategy that emphasized Israel’s potential value as a U.S. ally. These second set of critics are correct in the long-run, but for the time being continued U.S. aid to Israel remains valuable to both Americans and Israelis.
Haavara Agreement. The Haavara Agreement (Hebrew: הסכם העברה Translit.: heskem haavara Translated: "transfer agreement") was signed on 25 August 1933 after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany.
The agreement was designed to help facilitate the emigration of German Jews to Palestine. While it helped Jews emigrate, it forced them to give up most of their possessions to Germany before departing. Those assets could later be obtained by transferring them to Palestine as German export goods.[1][2] Hanotea[edit] Haj Amin al-Husseini. Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini (Arabic: محمد أمين الحسيني;[5] c. 1897;[6][7] – 4 July 1974) was a Palestinian Arab nationalist and Muslim leader in Mandatory Palestine.[8] Al-Husseini was the scion of a family of Jerusalemite notables.[9] After receiving an education in Islamic, Ottoman and Catholic schools, he went on to serve in the Ottoman army in World War I.
At war's end, he positioned himself in Damascus as a supporter of the Arab Kingdom of Syria. Following the fiasco of the Franco-Syrian War and the collapse of the Arab Hashemite rule in Damascus, his early position on pan-Arabism shifted to a form of local nationalism for Palestinian Arabs and he moved back to Jerusalem. From as early as 1920, in order to secure the independence of Palestine as an Arab state he actively opposed Zionism, and was implicated as a leader of a violent riot that broke out over the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Early life[edit] World War I[edit] Relations between Nazi Germany and the Arab world. Relations between Nazi Germany and the Arab World refers to political and military links between Germany and Arab nationalists during the era of Nazi Germany (1933–1945).

Cooperative relationships were founded on shared hostilities toward common enemies, such as British and French imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism. Israel Review (HIR) Arab–Israeli conflict.
