1) Do you have an "I don't care" attitude?
Well, quit the attitude. Do you know that without even being a Zionist soldier, anyone who has an "I don't care attitude" are just the same? In fact, such attitude can also become the deadliest weapon of mass destruction. When you "don't care", it affects other people; children die of hunger, people being shot, young girls were raped, houses were bombed and burned and many more. So for that, you have to care!

2) Gaza then, Gaza now
The war on Israeli-Palestinians have been going on for many, many years. Going back in time, Israelis used to manipulated their actions so that all blames will fall on the Palestinians
- By building a huge wall between the Israeli's housing area and Palestinian's province -- Israeli claimed that the walls are meant to protect them from Palestinian extremists. The truth is, they are actually building a huge prison made of brick walls to control food and medicine for the Palestinians. The Palestinians have no source of income as they cannot go out for work. Only men are allowed to go out of "the wall", only to become slaves and endure agonizing tasks.
- The Muslims aren't allowed to pray in Mosques, any Islamic activities are banned by the Israelis. Once, they opened ONE mosque for the Palestinians to pray, while they were praying, Israelis shot all of them, laughing hideously loud, saying, "haha, look how they die!" (I saw this footage on RTM a few years back)

Now, things get worst:
- They don't even have a house to live in, everything was bombed to ashes
- Children were shot, babies killed in mother's arm, a few moments later, the mother were shot too, men injured, killed, shot.
- Food and medicine were blocked, no fresh water supply, no electricity even in hospitals, they are on the verge of death
- Palestine became the biggest open prison in the world

- Their land is being stolen and homes are regularly demolished

- Children are denied equal opportunities in education.

4) Did You Know?
....that since the creation of the United Nations (UN) in 1945, no country has violated as many UN Security Council Resolutions as the state of Israel?
....that anyone of Jewish faith can move to Israel, but Palestinians born there and with home and land there are not allowed to return?
....that Palestinians are not allowed to move between their own towns without first getting a 'visa' from Israel?
....that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jewish settlers and the remaining 15% is divided among the Palestinians?
**And the list goes on...**

Conclusion
Dear readers,
Have compassion for the people and understand the suffering of the Palestinians. It's simple to understand the situation; picture a group of burglars coming into your house, killed all your family members, shot everyone except you, and then they walk around claiming that your house is theirs, while treating you like a slave in your own house.
For all of us, Palestinians are heroes of their own people. They are freedom fighters, fighting for justice and for an independent Palestinian state.
