i need to know why?

Question

Im 16,and i live in palestine, and im frustrated with everything, its so complicated and so wrong, my best friend graduated from school last year ,and eventhough he got 87% he couldn’t get enough money to get into collage ,whats more bad about it is that there are so many palestinians like him, seeing the people who were killed in Gaza, and kids and little girls who were so badly injured ,made me so angry and furuios of lsrael and even life itself , , and in response an angry palestinian in gaza lunched a rocket"he's a terrorist and israel is not!!" ,an old israeli woman died, and looking at the news, that woman sounds so important, more important than the 320 palestinians who died in Gaza just the last 2 weeks and more important than the thousands whos houses recently were destroyed now to live in extreme poverty their whole life, more important than so many people israel hasn’t given them a chance to live in dignity,, and I read that more than "150 thousands" iraqi's citizens died

in iraq, FOR NOTHING, it sounds like human life has become with no value, or should I say "our" life has become with no value,,,,.,,,,

Do you know what is the worst feeling I think a human being could feel? ,,its weakness, ,,and that exactly what im feeling, like a foreigner in my own country, no identity, weak and powerless ,this is eating me.to know i can do nothing, while the world sets back and enjoys the show! ,,,why study and work so hard when I could be killed by israeli's like people in Gaza so easily, and no one will ever tell them you did a bad thing,(when the UN tries to condem israel's actions ,,a US veto comes,,38 US vetos till now about israel),,,,,,, when I get killed, the US will give israel more weapons. ,,maybe another smart bombs shipment to kill my brother, and that’s it!!!, that’s a life for one of us, it has no @@@@ing value.

i remember seeing a small girl on the tv, she was crying infront of her house which was destroyed, her parents, her brothers, and her sister, all of them were dead, she saw them dying,, she had the most beautiful face i ever seen, and now she has Nothing to live for,,,,,, how's she going to live now?,,growing up with no one to know her!!

an israeli in my age knows he's got an army trained by the US, powered with FREE weapons by the US, designed to occupy whats left of what was taken of the land (they say they have a historical right in the land , which was proven to be wrong, its even in the Bible), an army designed to humilate so that "he" could feel a bit safe,,,,,,why is it so hard to understand that we want "OUR" land back? why is it so hard to have freedom?
i havent turned 17yet, and i have so many gray hair on my head,

my question is , why shouldnt i hate the US? why shouldnt i hate israel? why should i want "Peace" when they dont?and what the **** do i have to do to feel safe and to feel a bit of dignity? I feel like i want to cry , what is the point of living if life is like that?!

Answer 1

You should know that most US citizens can identify with, and wish to end your horrible situation. Our press, however, as the wonderful extension of the Government that it is, tells us the story that people like you are terrorists, and the Israelis are only protecting themselves from violence. US policy is so debased that it only concerns itself with the Air Force bases we have in Israel, and that Israel can be somebody's private police force in the middle east. Meanwhile people dying and suffering greatly. Does Bush even care? Instead he sends John Bolton,his barking lap dog, to the United Nations to insult the International Community and the Palestinians particularly. Israel will be protected, but they must back off this policy which makes them look more and more like those monsters they ran away from not so very long ago.

Answer 2

Hate isn't the answer mate and i think Israelies and Palestinians are both guilty to crimes against humanity. If none of you are willing to compromise than this back and forth pulling is going to last a very long time. If you're honest, and with respect to the many unfortunate casualties, then you'll also admit that your leaders have been wrong too. Yes, the media shows images of killed israelies but i have also seen palestinians getting killed? i hope you're not going to take the media as a measure stick for politics.

All i have seen until now between the both of you is hatred and attacks against eachother and between your allies. Land is always something you can compromise about but i guess hard feelings is all you have place for in your hearts, so you chose the wrong leaders who support extremism.

Believe it or not, everybody wants to end that conflict, even americans.... You're both wrong because no one is willing to take care of their people....I think it's time to stand up against your leaders....and stop looking to blame people across the border..

You as an individual can do a lot of good things for your people with some creativity. Write letters, do a survey, collect signatures to let their voice be heard, etc....

Answer 3

Careful dude, this kinda talk is dangerous in these sites. I have tried reasoning with many of the Americans here regarding this conflict, but most are are just plain ignorant. Israel maintains a powerful PR machine in the US media, that's why most Americans are baised with Israel, and yes, they don't see whats really happening to the Palestinians. The Zionist extremists simply don't want to give any of the land to the Palestinians and they are comtempt at taking over Jerusalem completely. People complain about those pathetic rocket attacks Hamas launches. And Israel goes about in F16s and Merkava tanks against people with nothing, they even fire tear gas shells at pedestrians for crying out loud! My advise to you is to go to any of the nieghbouring countries such as Egypt, I am sure that there are individuals and organizations that are willing to help you with your higher studies and courier, just keep looking for opportunities, never loose hope within yourself.

Don't worry, one day the truth will be revealed, justice brought against the wrong doers, and everyone regardless of religion, race or ethinicity can live in peace in the holy land. Good luck. May Allah show you the light in your path.

Answer 4

With what's been going on between Palestine and Israel I am hopeless that Peace ever happen in that part of the Earth. It is really tough to comment on this situation because as I can gather they are just as worst as one another. Israel send a tank, Fighter Jets and Palestine use humans and rocket launcher to do the same. Only God knows!

Answer 5

it's racism, but basically not racism, more like greed leading into what you call racism. from history, palestine and israel were enemies because of land dispute and religon. it's difference that they are fighting over that had revolve through the years and hard to be taken away now. since the people af both parties won't let forgiveness in. it's very good that you think of things like that and you care. it's the same here in our country, poverty and all. i am 15 and am going to graduate highschool this year and doesn't know if i would be able to continue my studies- i want to go to college to be something, be someone...

anyway, back to your problem. it is very sad that a conflict cannot be resolved because of severely wounded hearts, and from those severely wounded hearts, came the thorns that covered it- stopping all the feelings and hurting the heart all along. the anger is nourished so the thorns are fertilized.

peace. it's very hard to attain. almost impossible. but should we let it be? you feel, you think, therefore you could move and take action.

it is so ironic to say that the best things in life are free when blood and lives are being taken away in order to have those best things in life.

i actually don't know what to tell you about what you should do cause i myself is worrying and thinking about the same problem for our country, the philippines. people seems just to lose their dignity, their heart. they are humans, yes, and they seem to abuse that.

i pray well for your country and for israel and for the whole world. it's very sick i wanna puke. people are just becoming so shallow nowadays. i wish and i pray i am never a part of society, but i am, so i have to do something about it. so you too. and so all of us.. i'm not a religious person or what, i am actually an atheist, but does that prevent me from being good? from being a person who care?
whatever. come society judge. and i don't care...

Answer 6

You need the education so when you get the chance to give your information to the right outlet you can get your point across.
You need to keep trying because it can get better.
The American government (not necesarily the American people) feed Isreals coffers so they can buy and biuld better weapons.
Why? It was the right thing to do forty years ago and now it is just a habit.
I don't understand all of your angst because of my freedom and (relative) wealth. If I had my way I would cut all American funding of other governments. But I don't
Use your education to find out who can make a difference for you and your people and then start (it sounds weak but it takes every note make a song) a letter writing campaign with your views and needs listed.

As an AMerican Indian I can identify with your struggle, the main thing is to surrive and not thrive on the hate that is being promoted for both sides. Surrival is the key, I will offer prayers for your safty and well being. Igrorance is abundant and death is for ever.
