14th May Sad Birthday for Israel

14th May was supposedly Israel's 60th birthday. But they say Israel's 60th birthday is a sad one. On the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv amidst all the hype regarding the independence celebrations there is a sense of melancholy. This is what happens when you build the home of your dreams on the site of another's home and happiness...., you are left with nothing much to celebrate. Israel can do what it likes but nothing can wash away the guilt and torment accumulated through ruining the lives of innocent Palestinian families over the years. Yes, the Jews have been persecuted througout the centuries but nothing could justify the pain the Palestinians have been made to go through and still are inorder to give Jews a home. There are many nations in this world that do not have a boundaried state of their own, are scattered all over the world. Many of them have been persecuted too. But the way innocent Palestinians have been made to pay back for the lack of a Jewish state is just shameful to say the least. Making another nation go through hell because you went through it. This is sadistic. What a way....take their homes...kill their children...crush them because you believe what is theirs should have been yours. After all, the Germans were responsible for the holocaust, not Palestinians because the holocaust is at the bottom of the idea of Jews from around the world going and settling down in what is and for us will always be, Palestine. And no I dont believe in the co-existence of an Israeli and Palestinian state. Steal somebody's home, their happiness, their peace of mind and then say let's live side by side. You take this portion of the house and we'll take that. Is this justice?

So, here's to 60 years of aggression, occupation and conceit...!
