Imagine if you and your family were staying in your house.
One day, your neighbors broke into your home and forced you and your family to live in your store room and bathroom. You don't have access to the front or back door where it can lead you to the hospital, groceries, or basic amenities.
Then your neighbors move in. Not just across the street, but all over the world start moving in and settling in your home.
Worse, through out the years the bathroom and closet space gets smaller. Your neighbors start guarding your closet and bathroom doors, even patrolling inside to ensure "their" safety.
Well, that is what happened to the Palestinians.
That is their living condition for more than 50 years.
How would you cope?
What would you do?
Those who do not know say it's a Muslim issue. Little do we understand that it is actually a very basic human rights issue.
One can argue that the land does not belong to Palestine. If that were the case, neither were America, Australia, and many countries. How is the Palestinian-Israeli issue different than other state conflicts? The people are brutally oppressed. Living in small plots of land having no access to basic amenities. Missiles and gun shots are fired into these plots daily.
How would you cope?
What would you do?
For arguments sake, Palestinians treated the Jewish community with respect before the Zionist movement began taking Palestine to create Israel. Palestinians did not force the Jewish community into plots of land.
Why can't the same respect be afforded to Palestinians? Why are they (the Zionists) so angry?
How would you cope?
What would you do?
