Palestinians Have a Right to Defend Themselves!

288. Common sense should prevail.

Common sense - and simple humanity. There is so much we can accomplish, so much that can be done that people think is impossible, simply because it hasn't been done before. I am so very tired of politicians posturing and using their little mouth pieces to posture for them.

As we debate over right and wrong... the right things to do are not being done, they are outside of the picture that is typically painted for us, the question of whether Israel is right or wrong. Who cares? Does them being wrong revive any innocent dead? Does them being right? If we focus, if we unite and combine our efforts and resources, we could turn this disaster into something very different. We could feed a people, heal a land, show the world that we are not only the Nation with the most powerful and "feared" military, but that we have great compassion and humanity as a people. Which we do.

It should go beyond politics or the shady picture of morality our media paints. The right things to do? We can do them. We could have done them many years ago. We can do them now. The government of Israel could stop this cycle, could put an end to most of this hate and fanaticism. People who are content, who are happy, who are well treated... far less likely to wage war and kill soldiers or innocent civilians.

The solutions are simple, when it comes right down to it.
