The reason behind the United States of America, and European countries collective decision to ignore the situation occurring in Palestine, is unknown. The Iraqis suffered through the regime of Saddam Hussein, and alike, the Afghans with Osama Bin Laden, our peace treaties drove us to aid in bringing justice, where is the peace treaty now, for Palestine? Heart wrenching photographs of hundreds of innocent children, mothers, fathers are visible with the click of a button, yet our governments fail to offer support, and by doing so, our governments show support of the radical Israelis who are continuously terrorizing innocent souls. We look at the images, and our hearts cry for those suffering, but only they truly know and feel the pain and terror. Where is Michelle Obama showing her support for Palestine, it was only recently she was photographed holding a piece of paper reading “#BringBackOurGirls” - I can not help but wonder if her support for Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Burma is nonexistent because of religious preferences. Why is Fox Five news reporting on Israel and the loss of three of their own, while presenting and labeling the media images of the wrong country, why aren’t they reporting on Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a young teenager who was kidnapped and burned by the Israeli oppressors? Oh right, because this is the western media, coverage of the suffering in Palestine is nonexistent, just like our governmental support.
When even their own kind, Orthodox Jews, show their support for Palestine, wouldn’t it be time to take a step back, to look at the destruction they have caused and think, for even just a moment, about preserving the deteriorating humanity left in this world.
I hope you sleep comfortably in your own bed tonight, but just remember, at that exact moment, there is at least one person half way across the world hoping they’ll stay alive within the next hour.
Myself, and a majority of the rest of the world hope for nothing but peace in the Middle East. We look forward for a day that we, people of differing cultures and religions, can live together on this planet in harmony.
