A Hope For Common Ground

This is one of many cartoons depicting anti-Semitism that came up when I googled Israel conflict. It is startling to see how many images depict the same message of Palestinian anti-Semitism. The on going conflict between these two countries is heartbreaking and seems to be insolvable. As a Jew, I personally support the state of Israel completely despite some of Israel’s actions this summer concerning Lebanon. I also believe that Palestine has a right to exist as well and it does not look good for either country. The constant violence and suicide bombings are atrocious and they are a crime against God whether you believe in Adonai or Allah. There does not seem to be an answer as to how to make peace between the state of Israel and the rest of the Middle East. The hate that is in the Middle East towards the Jews is immeasurable and may be incurable. Hopefully after all of the blood and tears that have been spilt over this constant turmoil both the Israelites and the Palestinians will be able to see past their own desires and make peace for the sake of their people. I personally pray that soon they will be able to see that they are simply killing people. Not Jews or Muslims, just people, and together they may find some common ground to heal the wounds of the past and start again, together, as human beings who have the right to live.
