Source:  Shah, Anup. “The Middle East conflict—a brief background.” Global Issues. 30 Jul. 2006. Web. 19 Mar. 2017. <http://www.globalissues.org/article/119/the-middle-east-conflict-a-brief-background>.


Author Credentials: Shah is qualified to discuss this issue because he shows throughout the article that he knows what is going on, and the importance that others know what is happening. Shah uses quotes from that have significance to the topic, and has a lot of details.

Summary: The author does not argue one way or another and takes a neutral stand. Although he portrays the Jewish people in a negative light. He talks about them taking over the Palestine land, and how the Europeans took control over the Middle East and made decisions without regarding the countries in the Middle East. 

Analysis:  The author does not make a strong argument as this article is in favor totally of one side, but definitely portrays the Europeans and Jews in a negative light. There is sufficient amount of evidence that shows the Europeans took over matters in the Middle East, when they had no right too. The article is mainly fact, with few opinions. The author is reliable because there are a lot of facts to back up the main topic, and uses reliable sources.
