Israel and Palestine

     This is something that has been in the news for some time now, but I have tried my best to not discuss it. The main reason is because I am fed up with the situation in that part of the world. It has been going on for decades with no legitimate solution in sight. Being exposed to images of children who have been obliterated by military grade weapons can and have break make any sensible human being's heart.
     Social media seems to be the bulk of how people are expressing their views on the situation. Even though it seems like the overwhelming majority of people are sympathetic to the Palestinian side, there are a fair number of people who are on the opposite side of the spectrum. From what I have gathered, most, if not all, side with Israel due to religious views. I have read such things as "May God be with Israel", "Israel is the land of The Chosen People," "These are the signs of end times." With radical views like this it is not surprising why certain people have this viewpoint. The situation goes beyond religious and ethnic lines. This is now clearly a humanitarian issue. When innocent civilians, many of which are women and children, are being targeted, everything becomes black and white. I do not know what will happen in the near future, but I hope it is for the best for both sides.
