I have to let it go.

How would you feel if you were a Palestinian ?
What would you do ?
What would you think ?

How would you feel if you were an Israeli ?
What would you do ?
What would you think ?

It's too easy for us to talk about that from the outside. But we don't know.

Think about these ppl who were born and raised in a constant state of war. How can they have the necessary insight to think and debate like we do atm.

It's like these Palestinian children we saw cheering and laughing after the tragic 9/11 event. It was shocking wasn't it ? In fact it wasn't. These children were born and raised among war, death and destruction. They have been told all their little life that it's Israel/USA fault. Of course they would cheer, I would too in this situation and you would too...

All is a matter of point of view. We don't have theirs, we can't even imagin theirs.

So stop wondering about who is right and who is not. This need to be solved in a manner that fits both sides. That will require some time for the hate that has been growing through generations to be forgotten. This won't be easy. Nope, not easy at all. But this is what we need to focus on.

And the first thing we can do is to stop throwing fuel on the hate brasero.
