I work for a government official, a Democrat from Hawaii, and I am so confused as to why people cant just advocate equally for both parties, especially when it doesnt affect them at all. It hurts to watch a woman that I respect so much have to pledge allegiance to the Jews in order to finance her campaign. I have heard people say and my boss agree, "the Palestinian refugee problem will be solved outside the borders of Israel" meaning that myself and my family wouldn't be able to return to the land where they lived for 1,500 years. Why is it okay for Jews to return to "their homeland" but it's not okay for the Arabs too? My family is from Jerusalem and what they call "Tel Aviv." They don't want us to return, because then that would threaten their "Jewish" state. Why can't they just have an open pluralistic state and let anyone come live there? They condemn other religious states like Iran, but for some reason it's okay for them to be a religious state?
It's really hard to listen to these words. They say they are democratic but how they can defend a Jewish right to return and not a Palestinian right to return= that sounds like UNEQUAL RIGHTS to me. And why do the Israeli's have the right to have a military but the Arabs next door don't? They always talk about having unfriendly neighbors, what about the Palestinian peasants, who barely have enough food to feed their families, and the sustanence farmers whose land is taken from them to build settlements? Don't they have unfriendly neighbors too? Don't you think that if you're "neighbor" was able to come and bulldoze your house and not pay you a single penny for it, that you might call that an "unfriendly neighbor" too?
