@techslut I consider you a friend but the second paragraph of this post definitely rubbed more than a few nerves in me.

Today was a sad day for the Israeli nation. Today we buried one of the best people to live and work in this country - Israel's 9th president, Shimon Peres. He died at the age of 93, and worked for peace and prosperity of all people living on this land for as long as he physically could. And then some.

I remember when he was President of Israel and every time I turned on the news I saw something about him invading Palestinian areas, bombing them, cutting off food and medical supplies to them and much much more.

Now I will be the first to admit I don't have all the facts and American media is renowned for skewing the truth so I don't put a lot of stock in what I see on the news. It does make me seriously question a person when I see so many bad things attributed to them. Just like I feel about Obama now. Our President is a sorry excuse for a human being that has broken virtually every promise he made to the American People and has done more to stir hatred and racism in this country than any President we have ever had.

I personally believe that Shimon Peres wanted to do the right thing and Unite the Israeli and Palestinian nations, but he failed miserably at that and will forever be blamed for the deaths that occurred during his Presidency.

Having said all that, I want to thank you. You see the first day you and I met here on Steemit you told me who you where, were you lived and much much more. I feel as if we made a connection and developed a mutual trust early on and I hope that never changes. But if you can speak your mind, then so can I so please take no offense when I say:

If you remove Religion from the equation and look at just the history and archaeological record of the area currently occupied by Israel the question of "Who is the rightful owner of that land" comes into question.

Now I don't know who was there first, but from reading History of the area and researching Archaeological Findings from the area it would seem that the Palestinians were there first.

Truthfully, who was there first is irrelevant in this, the 21st Century. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Judaism, Christianity, Muslim and/or any other religious belief to be at odds with any other religious belief.

It is time for the leaders, both government and religious, to GROW THE FUCK UP and start living what their religion teaches. Peace, Harmony and Good Will to everyone.....then let God, Allah, Buddha or who ever do the judging in the afterlife.
