No hope from within...
Maybe you have heard about these protests in your MSM news, but most likely not. Most stations are owned by people that really don't want this to be reported too much...
But since the start on March 30th almost 5500 Palestinians have been wounded and almost 40 got killed by Israeli snipers using this kind of ammo:
Among the dead are about a dozen journalists. On the Israeli side 0 got killed and 0 got hurt... The protest are scheduled to go on until May 14th, how many more will die before then is anyones guess. But I can tell you now that it will all be Palestinians... On May 14th it will be "Nakba day" again for Palestinians and "independance day" for Israel, so this day is hugely important on both sides... WARNING, some graphic images are included in this post, which might just give you a bad night, imagine having to LIVE this... And I have kept out the most disturbing images even...
"No hope for change from within" (Max Blumenthal)
i see you living in a hell
that once used to be your land
you used to know it very well
though now it looks so bland
only 'ghetto' the right word
framed by fences and high walls
your voices almost never heard
while another bomb just falls
surrounded by a foreign entity
that maims and bombs and kills
with falsely claimed authority
from the air and enclosing hills
with impunity they maim and kill
they shred up your land and family
and kill some more with awfull skill
making your blood ooze clammily
what did you do to be so deserving
of this inhumane barbaric beating
creating images so distressing
while your blood starts overheating
throw a rock at an armed soldier
you get ten or twenty years in jail
or get shot in knee or shoulder
to maim not kill and make you fail
the world seems to have forgotten
your undeserved suffering and need
masterminded by souls so rotten
while moral authority they exceed
these people once victim of the same
seem to have forgotten that they did
now are playing the same damned game
without them batting even one eyelid
i just cannot seem to understand
how their hearts can be so cold
to suffering they should comprehend
while their own suffering is retold
but keep your faith dear palestine
teach the world about resilience
and resistance to those so asinine
for one day will come deliverance
I wrote this poem for the people of Palestine, who have been living under occupation since 1948. Imagine living like that... As being of Jewish descent myself I have no hate for Jews in particular, I am vehemently against Zionism and Israel though. My consciousness just won't allow me to stand with any oppressor. People are told many lies about this conflict, which is not a war... In a war both sides have more or less the same weapons, here it is stones and glorified fireworks against the best weapons the world has made. The "rockets" the Palestinians shoot are more like the simple fireworks, they only fly and don't explode on impact like the rockets they get in return. Just compare the damage:
I am hugely inspired by the struggle of Palestine as they are showing such resillience, like Ahed Tamimi who has been fighting soldiers since she was 12 years old. Yet they are slowly being murdered anyway and their land is slowly cut up into bits, their houses arbitrarily demolished, their olive trees burned. They have checkpoints where people die because they are not allowed to pass to go to a hospital, their schools, hospitals and infrastructure are bombed to smithereens, they are starved, deprived of water and bullied on a daily basis. How would you react to that? If you don't believe me, just watch this video, there are many more like those, but please, watch that one... Oh, and to be sure I want to say that there are also many courageous Jews out there that fight this apartheid system side by side with the Palestinians, so don't think Jews are to blame in general please... Just take a look at these Jewish people waving Hezbollah and Palestinian flags or the ones burning the Israeli flag... I have studied the background of this conflic for over 30 years and it is still confusing to me why a people that have lived through the worst man has to offer can do the same to their own blood, yes their own blood... Palestinians are a Semitic people too, they are "cousins" so to speak.
ALL proceeds of this post will go to a NON VIOLENT charity connected to the Palestinian cause.
With tears in my eyes once again...

A poem that discusses the portrait of deity and humanity and is made through writing that sliced the heart, which was deliberately covered up by large media. reading this fact I found the poet's function as an eye-time that can not be obstructed
That's a huge conflict, but people don't understand that only by god will can be finished. The only and real god. The God of Israel and all universe.
So, by your reaction i conclude you're a christian? If you are, maybe you should read Revelations again, most notably 2-9 and 3-9, i think that sollution will come about, the sooner the better imo...
The humble will be exalted my friend, there is no doubt about it, only that your perspective is a little deviated, so that your eyes see, you could feel anger against Israel, you could commit the grave error of judging and abhor what God has chosen for himself (Crass Error). The best example of this is Venezuela, its top leader cursed Israel for the same reasons that could lead you to love the Palestinian cause, if you could see how they eat each other right now because they cannot get even a banana that could cost $ 0.0095 and I would like to avoid you that suffering, because many times God himself wanted to destroy Israel by his own disobedience to him, but in God there is forgiveness for him to be revered and it is through his son Jesus Christ, whom the Jews rejected, that today everyone who believes in him can be saved and that applies to any living soul on the face of this earth including obviously Palestinian, but whether you like it or not, Israel remains as the chosen and beloved people of God.
The true Jews are those who listen to his voice, in revelations 2: 9 and 3: 9, the term “Jewish” refers to the God son’s, those who truly are and those who are not.
The worst synagogue of Satan is in the Vatican, but Palestinians or of any other nationality that persevere in the gospel that Christ as Son of the Living God preached will be saved.
You want to understand the people of Israel and read a horror novel?. Look at for "Judges" chapter 19-21. Likewise, I invite you to read a book called one date in Jerusalem, by Lydia and Derek Prince, maybe It can inspire you. God bless you
You do realize that the Good Samaritan, the non-Jew that Jesus held up as an example of a good man, known as such by his good deed, would today be considered a Palestinian?
And, as a Christian, surely you also know that Jesus himself said repeatedly that we are to LOVE our enemies, FORGIVE our enemies, and NEVER seek revenge.
Israel is in the wrong, chosen people or no. And a high percentage of Israelis agree with me.
Peace in the Middle East.
Now wouldn't that be something...
