  1. Name of Group: Kahane Chai (KACH)

    Date Established: They formed in the year 1971

    The countries or regions where the group primarily operates: The countries or regions were they participate in these terroristic activities are along the West Bank and Israel.

    The mission of the group: The mission of this group is to restore te bliblical state of Israel. They are hostile against Arabs and are expanding there religious and occupy the regions of Jordan. They like those who are against Judaism and enforce their beliefs in actions of violence, even paying $40,000 to make Arabs leave but if they didn't; they would either be arrested or brutally killed.

    Important attacks, conflicts, or events in the group's history: The most recognized attacks from the group are the deadly attacks by the groups came in February 1994, shortly after the signing of the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO. Baruch Goldstein, a Brooklyn-born doctor and Kach supporter, opened fire with a machine gun inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. He killed twenty-nine people and wounded dozens more before he himself was killed. Also, in 2005, an Israeli soldier burned down a bus that was occupied by Arab-Israelis.

    A brief summary of what your Global Classrooms country's position would be toward the group:
    Bosnia and Herzegovina feel the effects of terrorism but not by religion but ethnicity. They would be against this terrorist group since they are bringing insecurity to the region and even with all the evidence shown that Arab terrorist groups have been trying to "eradicate" Israel itself. Its ironic really but the European nations can only watch as these events occur. There aren't many records shown from this group but the actions are evident and Bosnia would be against this group and its position to bring religious differences as well.

  34. 1.FARC is one of the groups stands for (fuerzas armadas revolucionarios de colombia)
    2. It was established in 1964.
    3.One place that they where they operate is in Bogota.
    4.They bomb and muder people that are from the US because they think that they are part of the army because of US support for the colombian government.
    Summary: Our contry thinks about the innocent people that are counted as targets and that are being killed. This also reminds us about the Taliban and all those groups in India, they need to be stopped and at the same time people in that country need help but i dont think that the US can help because they see us as targets
