The Palestinian State bid has caused a lot of trouble between settlers and residents in the West Bank. I came across the article above and it got me seriously thinking about the heart of the conflict and if there is ever going to be a two state solution.
The image of women taking up arms is slightly disturbing and really it makes you think- Both sides will not give up. Each are determined to see their sides prevail over the other. I have always been for the idea of an independent state of Palestine BUT and I do not want to upset anyone here.. There has to be unity amongst the Palestinians. Hamas and Abbas have to unite and share a common goal. Hamas certainly needs to drop this idea that they will never recognize a state of Israel. But I get it people.. before you jump down my throat, 'Eye for an eye' and all that but let's remember the second part of that phrase 'makes the whole world blind'.. that's not to say that the Palestinians should accept being shot at or thrown out of their homes.. I just feel there is another way.. and I congratulate Abbas for attempting to go down that route but honestly hope for the sake of the Palestinians that Hamas too joins him and puts down their arms.
Now, Israel where do I start?
Until next time...

Why does it have to be v/s? Y not 'and'... ah innocents being embroiled in such hate spread by politically motivated individuals... those devious politicians
ReplyDeleteOh Humbug no I agree it should not be just one.. I was merely playing on words.. people always insist that there should be one winner.. but personally I think both can win together
