![Varsity girls soccer midfielder Leah Sheahan ‘24 hugs a friend during the Senior Night celebrations before the home game against Mountain Vista High School (MVHS) at Echo Park Stadium April 29. During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

Partition Plan of 1947 → (Resolution 181)
According to the United Nations, the plan behind the Partition Plan of 1947 was to separate Palestine into three states. There would be an Arab State, a Jewish State and the City of Jerusalem, under the control of the United Nations' administration, which is indicated in the image above.
Additionally, as stated by numerous sources, the plan never went through, as both Palestinians and the surrounding Arab states did not like this plan and instead rejected it.
Balfour Declaration
As stated by the United Nations, Palestine, which used to be a part of the Ottoman Territories, was placed under the control of the British in 1921. Therefore, due to the Balfour Declaration, a letter addressed to Lord Rothschild, “a leader of the Anglo-Jewish community,” the British communicated that they believed Palestine should be a home for the Jewish people.
According to Britannica, the Oslo Accords were a set of agreements between the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Israel to propose a "two-state solution." This means that the land would be separated for both the Palestinians and the Israelis.

Furthermore, as mentioned by the U.S. State Department of State, the Oslo Accords allowed for the Palestinian Authority (PA) to be recognized as the governing power over Gaza and the West Bank. The accords and this recognition of power only lasted for five years.
Intifada: Many sources indicate that intifada means shake-off and or uprising. The first (1987-1993) and the second (2000-2005) intifadas indicate a time of a series of protests in opposition to Israeli occupation.
Arab League: The Arab League was first created in 1945 and consisted of only six members. Presently, the league consists of 22 countries including Algeria, Jordan, Sudan, Tunisia and more.
Gaza Strip and the West Bank: The home to over five million Palestinians, according to U.S. Department of State.
Hamas: According to the Council of Foreign Relations, Hamas is an “Islamist militant group” in both Gaza and the West Bank. Recently, both the United Nations and the European Union have labeled Hamas as a terrorist organization.
IDF: The IDF stands for Israel Defense Forces, which makes up the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Israeli government.
Jerusalem: Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. From a more historical standpoint, Jerusalem is known as a holy city for the religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
