The researcher chose an intentional sample of Palestine and Al-Hayat Al-Jadida newspapers for one year from March 30, 2018 to March 31, 2019, through a comprehensive inventory of all cartoons of the return marches during this period, which amounted to 59 cartoons.

The study has reached the following findings:

Newspapers cartoons focused on the topics of durability of the protesters, then clashes with a clear margin, then the topics of repression and Israeli attacks on the participants in the marches.

The cartoons focused on the unnamed symbolic characters far more than the real ones. The two newspapers described the characters as positive in general for the Palestinian ones, and negative for the rest of the characters, especially the Israelis.
The aim of spreading the spirit of hope and durability came first in the two newspapers, followed by the goal of showing pain and suffering, and then show the brutality of the occupation.

Different Estimation Methods for System Reliability Multi-Components model: Exponentiated Weibull Distribution
...Show More Authors

        In this paper, estimation of system reliability of the multi-components in stress-strength model R(s,k) is considered, when the stress and strength are independent random variables and follows the Exponentiated Weibull Distribution (EWD) with known first shape parameter θ and, the second shape parameter α is unknown using different estimation methods. Comparisons among the proposed estimators through  Monte Carlo simulation technique were made depend on mean squared error (MSE)  criteria
