So a few years ago a Palestinian child was killed in a terror attack committed by Israeli's. The Israeli government swiftly condemned the attacks and called the child a victim of terrorism allowing the family to receive stipends from the government. The child's name is added to a Monument for all the people in Israel killed by terrorism.
What an Israeli has to say about his name being added:
"(Khudair's) name on the memorial debases the memory of all the other fallen people," Yossi Tzur, an Almagor member whose 17-year-old son was killed in a Palestinian suicide bombing in 2003, told Israel Radio.
"He is not part of the Israeli ethos. He is not part of the sacrifice our children made at the altar for the sake of Israel's establishment and existence," Tzur said.
What the boy's family has to say about his name being added:
"We can't accept that his name be included among soldiers who killed his relatives in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank," said Khudair's father, Hussein.
So those are 2 people representing 2 groups of people that absolutely hate each other. How in the world could these 2 possibly be convinced to sit down with each other? The hatred is SO STRONG! Especially as they both live under this fantasy that their people have a religious mandate to have sole ownership of the same land?
It's unbelievable. I don't think there can ever be peace there.
