I can understand the fanaticism that goes along with this situation...the people of Gaza have nothing left but faith that there is something beyond this existence and they are not afraid to go there because it's got to be better than here.

I do pray for them. I hope that this horrible joke being played on humanity stops soon and we finally see the truth for what it is. We have to come together and stop such atrocious, ignorant, geo-political maneuvering based on our divided faith. It has done nothing but stunt our growth.

Israel is here. She must be dealt with diplomatically. The Palestinians must realize that their anger can only be re-directed into the energy it will take to negotiate for what is rightfully theirs. They must evolve past the instinct to physically fight. They can and should start using the power of righteous indignation over the unfairness of Israel's "manifest destiny" that has been decided by fanatics on the other end of the religious spectrum. If we forever lose the beauty of the Palestinian culture to this insanity it will be to everyone's detriment.
