As you may or may not know, Isreal is having tough times. When I went there in the summer, I stayed in a hotel. A few weeks later when I got back, that hotel was bombed, killing 3 people. They have been bombed for years. Now they are JUST fighting back. They have tried so hard to make peace. Do not be tricked on what you see on CNN, for they are for the other countries.
In some parts of Israel, you have a 15 second warning to get to a safe place. 15 SECONDS!I think it is called Hazak Adom.
Well as you can see, its not Israel fault. As Golda Meir said "I can forgive you for killing my children, but I cannot forgive you for making me kill yours."
I completely agree. If only more people saw it that way. Unfortunately a lot of the media and publicity makes Israel out to be the offender and instigator, and yet NEVER has Israel broken a cease-fire agreement
I don't see why we have to even get mixed up in this! It is their fight, not ours. I mean, I am all for helping people, but there have been years upon years of bloodshed, we have neither the right nor the reason to get involved now do we? I know very little about this, but it seems that this fight has a deeper reason that we will never know. Why do we have to do this? Why can't we just leave them alone and if they ask for us to do something, then we will!
I completely disagree. The Palestinians are not the ones that always start the fight. They are usually retaliating for self defense, but the thing is..you don't hear about that because it isn't covered on the western news often..we hear one side..like that hotel incident you bought up? Its messed up, violence isn't always the solution. But are you sure the guy that went and bombed it isn't deluded and angry because his house was bombed? His family was murdered? Or maybe because he didn't have breathing space..every few feet there is a check point that he has to go through..why? Because his Palestinian.
I must say, that the fifteen seconds warning Israelis get is better then the no warning Palestinians have.
This conflict has too much going on in the details that you nor I could cover..but we should at least pick our words wisely. .
