Arab Israeli conflict

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/middleeast/ig/Middle-East-Cartoons/Mideast-Lesson.-jLe.htm

This cartoon states that the middle easterners with fight right back when they get attacked to teach the enemy a lesson. They will do what was done to them right back, so when the cartoon character says "They take an eye, we take an eye" he is basically saying that if the Palestinians get bombed they will bomb right back until the Israels give up. But since they will both do the same over and over, by the end both will be in rubble and both countries in theory would have "learned their lesson".
This relates to our lesson because it kind of explains the strategy of both countries. Its also helpful because it shows that even though both countries have the same war strategies and the outcome of fighting is normally the same weather which side comes on top, The country on top in the end would think they thought the opposing country a lesson even though both sides are trying to teach the same lesson. This cartoon makes me laugh by the way the author of the cartoon put it, but it still makes me sad that both countries will go through so much just to make someone think the same way they do.
