Cortical tissue is composed of gray matter in the cerebral cortex. AEA and 2-AG may decrease but beyond the endocannoibind system, More nicotine stimulates other chemicals in the brain that temporarily improves attention and memory but affecting neurotransmitter imbalance, and withdrawls create issues with focus as the brain readjusts to normal neurotransmitter levels "higher doses or prolonged exposure either do not improve, or impair cognitive functions".- NIH. impacting memory and attention. Chemicals like dopamine and acetylecholine get increased to a large degree, imbalancing neurotransmitter regulation

After being pushed out of Jordan and Lebanon in the 1970s and 1980s, the movement underwent a fundamental change, choosing to negotiate with Israel.
FATAH origninally had armed groups that it supoported and even created since the 50s and attacked israel in several attacks and wars, such as the Battle of Karameh and Black September. In 1988, however, they chanfged their policy to focus on diplometac relations and negotaitns as opposed to terrorism and armed conflict, ceasing to be recognized as a terrorist organization by the UN in 1988.
. Next time you see a protest with banners calling for Palestine “From the River to the Sea,” understand that this is not a call for peace through justice and mutual respect. It is a call for peace through genocide
It's a pretty broad statement that encapsulates all protests as being in support of Israeli genocide for Palestinian. It does point out how the gemopcode ideaologoy has spread and makes the palestienaisn beleives that its the only way for peace and safety for palestinians to be obstained
In recent years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies have sidelined and undermined those Palestinians least interested in violence, and most open to the possibility of a two-state solution. That has only helped Hamas.
Ignoring the palestinians that advocate for a two state solution has allowed Hamas to gain support as they are the most vocal and persistent in their advancements towards Palestinaian independance.

Passage primarily uses pathos to fuel its message. It's good at engrossing the reader into the story and seeing their message, but the author's connections to mental health and mass shootings is weak while its argument that mental health needs to be a greater focus in health care - where mentally ill can have support and safe treatment plans rather than being thrown into prisons - is more potent and persuading.
But our society, with its stigma on mental illness and its broken healthcare system, does not provide us with other options. Then another tortured soul shoots up a fast food restaurant. A mall. A kindergarten classroom.
Directly connects mass shootings with mental health, highlighting how mental healthcare needs to be more widespread and accessible to solve the issues of mass shootings.
. But this highly visible sign of mental illness should lead us to consider how many people in the U.S. live in fear, like I do.
Needs evidence to suggest that they were mentality ill
According to Human Rights Watch, the number of mentally ill inmates in U.S. prisons quadrupled from 2000 to 2006, and it continues to rise—in fact, the rate of inmate mental illness is five times greater (56 percent) than in the non-incarcerated population.
Without mental heath instiuties and asylums to help and treat the mentally ill, prisons will continue to house the mentally ill as it's a lazy and inhumae way to keep them out of society and fuels the prison industrial complex.
