I wasn’t brought up knowing the history about the origin and causes leading to the current the situation which this corner of the world is going through.
It’s like walking into a conversation when you missed the beginning.
Maybe this is a simplistic view and many other factors are missing but I found this illumination.
I have my own opinion about who is in the wrong here …
but that’s for the individual to determine.

~~Why Are Israel and Palestine Fighting~~
~~Published on Jul 15, 2014~~
Israel and Palestine have been wrapped up in a century long battle for territory, but are currently at the brink of all out war. How did this conflict begin?
Let’s jump back a few decades to see what really started all this fighting.
I received this email in my inbox today. I thought it was worthy of sharing. There’s no intention of ruffling any feathers or offending anyone.
Still think this is a good question. Something to think about.
“We demand the British government and opposition immediately discuss sanctions on Israel, including withholding the billions of pounds of aid our country sends to Israel each year, in the face of their military attacks on Gaza.
We demand that our government holds one of its purported allies accountable for the war crimes being committed in the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank. We demand that our government oversees the lifting of the blockades in Palestine and sends immediate aid to the worst affected areas who are running short of food, water, medicine and fuel.
We demand that our government accurately represents the outrage amongst Britain’s population at the callous and horrific actions of Israel towards the Palestinian people.
Why is this important?
We cannot allow this cycle of violence to continue.
As Israel’s disregard for international law and humanitarian needs intensify, the radicalisation of rebels will only continue to rise alongside it. Until Israel begins treating the Palestinian’s like human beings this cycle will rage on.
It is simply not possible for us to stand by and do nothing as innocent men, women and children are bombed in their own homes and imprisoned in their own towns.
The Israel attacks are blatant examples of collective punishment, which is defined as a war crime. Should we allow this to continue, we become complicit in their actions and every subsequent civilian casualty will leave blood on our hands as a nation.”
We eat them, we wear them, we use them, we don’t care about them, we forget them, we ignore them, we … don’t understand them.
So why don’t we leave them alone? animals don’t need us! We humans are killing, exploiting, closing them in cages for life, using for fun our brothers without even having the courage to declare war to them! Shame!
You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

Los comemos, los vestimos, los usamos, no nos importan, los olvidamos, los ignoramos, no los entendemos ….. 1,.000 años de masacre.
Y entonces porqué no los dejamos en paz? ellos no nos necesitan! Nosotros humanos los estamos matando, explotando y encerrándolos en jaulas de por vida, usándolos para diversión. Ni siquiera tenemos el coraje de declararles la guerra! Que cobardía!
Tu no puedes separar la PAZ de la LIBERTAD nadie puede estar en paz a no ser que el y ella tengan su libertad!
Dare to have courage and dare to be strong,
And dare to tell others that murder is wrong,
And give all that you have and give all that you can,
And success will be ours in the dawning;
And sorrow and pain
Will never more reign
It Is What It Is
