Before you pass judgement on the situation in the Middle East and the operation in Gaza by Israel, watch this youtube clip:
Wafa Sultan on The Clash of Civilizations 1
Wafa Sultan on The Clash of Civilizations 2
This is straight from the horse's mouth. This is a women born of Middle Eastern heritage, on Al-Jazeera, talking about the fundamental problem the world faces.
From the day the situation started, I have sat with an open mind waiting for someone to come out and not take sides...Israel has been torn apart in the media world wide, and is being condemned for its actions. Little mind is being paid to the actions of Hamas and the provocation. I feel like I am watching a microcosm of a 4th grade soap opera. Whoever is bigger and is seen being the aggressor last is the person punished for the fight. Never mind the provocation of the person who threw the first punch- we would be so wrong to punish both for their heinous actions or to teach them both that they are just fueling the fire, right?
I weep for the death of civilians on both sides. No matter the number or the method, it is a travesty and a tragedy that this must occur. But until we as a WORLD community sit these two children down and correct the methodology, not just the action, we will get nowhere in this conflict.
