Kurds, Sunnis and Arabs by Raphael Israeli accounts the origin of the religious
division between Shi’ites and Sunnis in Iraq. It also details the attack on the
Shi’ite dominated South during Sadaam Hussein’s regime and the US invasion in
2003. The source is useful because it is written in extreme details and
accurately combines both past and present factors that have contributed to Iraq’s
refugee crisis.

The Iraqi Refugee provides immense context about the
evolution of the Iraq from a nation filled with vast populations of internally
displaced people to the nation of origin for millions of international
refugees. It also provides a case study for the neighboring nations that
witnessed massive influxes of Iraqi refugees following the invasion in 2003,
including reports on Jordan and Syria. This source is especially relevant
because it introduces the failed role of the United States and the UNHCR during
the refugee crisis, linking both failures to intimate political reasons.

The article
“Welcoming Iraqi Refugees” gives real world context to the politics that affect
Washington’s hesitancy to resettle Iraqi refugees. The implementation of a
source from a public newspaper will give insight into the emotional effects of
the upper level decisions made by the US and the UNHCR.
