Israel, what are you doing? 1,000 + eyes for 13 eyes. You have might on your side but not right. After the granting of the state of Israel in 1948 by the united nations, on land that was occupied by the fathers and mothers of the Palestinians that you so ruthlessly destroy now, you were faced with the prospect of some troubled waters to negotiate, surrounded on all sides by potential enemies. By your subsequent actions and unreasonable behaviour you have created a more hostile environment for yourselves and your children. Hamas has only existed since 1988, the extreme ideology of wanting to wipe Israel off the map, fueled by the extreme ideology that has guided the Jewish state, annexing more lands and caring little for the native Palestinian and wiping out the more moderate and conciliatory voices within its own community. You replaced Rabin with Sharon. It is time for reason to come to the fore, a 2 state solution is there. Time for the killing to stop, “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”.
