I wish to add that I admire the history of the Jewish people and their struggles are many. I just fear for the future of the Palestinian people, and wish, against all rationality, for peace there. Ireland stopped the bombs, mostly, and South Africa stopped the apartheid, and though many died, peace finally came to Southeast Asia after we left. I recognize that many of the most fervent supporters of peace and the rights of the Palestinian people are Jewish and live in Israel, and goodness knows I wish them well to find that perhaps impossible to find path to long lasting peace.
My above writing was a little dark and hopeless, and probably doesn't serve those who fight for peace, may they be many.
