A Defence For the Palestinians

In defence of the Palestine people I have complained my car didn’t start, how middle-class I have become complaining about unimportant banality instead of writing about the plight of the Palestinians who has endured having their land stolen and also? Losing the little they have left of land and olive trees to the unspeakable settlers. Israel has demonized the Arab and demonized us who write about the inequity into silence. I have noticed when I write about this conflict on other sites It is overlooked and not commented upon. There was a time in Norway, when my uncles fought to help the Jews and suffered for it, torture and long jail terms. Today the situation is different Israel picked up the mantles of Nazism and ran with it. I have no power but, I can defend the Palestinians in the knowledge that history is on my side. The truth is stifled but never killed.

There is much to be said for and against both sides in this ancient conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict will probably never been solved, or even laid to rest. May there be peace in the area during the holy days!
