A Tale Of Two Palestines
"An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind." --- Mahatma Gandhi
By allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people to languish in refugee camps since 1948 until the present day without a resolution to their plight is unforgivable. There is enough wrong here for blame to be thrown at everyone including the western world (especially the United States), the Arab League, the former Soviet bloc, Israel and on and on and on.
By allowing this unresolved problem to fester for 60 years, we now find ourselves with a situation where the possibility of one Palestinian state is likely not even possible.
With Hamas in control of the Gaza Strip and Fatah taking control of the West Bank, this horrible situation has now become worse.
Human beings truly are a primitive creature. There is too much hatred based on religion - too much ignorance - too much blood - too little will to find resolution.
-In the West Bank
-In the Gaza Strip
Agree, it is a horrid situation. I would refer people on this to Robert Fisk's latest column, as well as Amnesty International's press release on the conflict.
