Thank you for a great post Carey. It must take courage to speak truth when so many are ready to shame you and question your allegiances. You may not make everyone happy with your realisation of the truth but you will certainly be on the side of truth.

The conflict is not as complicated as people make it out to be. Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine. Israel claims it is a Jewish and democratic state and yet it violates the principles of both democracy and Judaism by holding a whole people prisoners in open air prisons and controls every aspect of their lives without any hope of self-determination. Israel refuses to give the Palestinians a sovergin state and it refuses to make them citizens of Israel. The only solution Israel is happy with is the status quo which is the colonisation and occupation of the indigenous people of the land they claim to love so much.
