I understand that in my HEAD, Killgore, but it still hearts my HEART, y’know?

When I think about the Palestinians I realize that many of them were born after the last war in 1973. That means pretty much any Palestinian under the age of 40 knows nothing but whatever propaganda has been fed to them. Add to that that it can’t be fun living in Gaza or the West Bank (regardless of how many shopping malls they have), and it just depresses the hell out of me.

I think if you scratch the surface pretty much all of us here feel for the plight of the Palestinian people (that hasn’t always been the case). They have no chance at prosperity, jobs, security or peace. It really is an awful situation. It’s especially frustrating that peace and prosperity would sweep through Gaza tomorrow if they decided they wanted it. It could become a nice tourist resort on the Mediterranean if only they’d stop the attacks.I feel for those who want peace but there aren’t enough of them.
