Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Whether to support Israel or Palestine may be the biggest decision the U.S. has had to make since we decided to cut loafs of bread into little slices. There is a serious possibility that if this situation isn’t handled right, we could be seeing a World War III. The U.S. and Israel are dedicated allies. We have even been secretly sending them missiles that can target things under the ground, like hidden bunkers or underground weapon storages, which is especially helpful for fighting countries like Palestine and Iran. The U.S. government clearly backs Israel where as I see the nation (and most of the world) supporting Palestine and their goal of becoming a sovereign nation.

Personally I support Palestine. I feel as though Israel has been using brute force to bully the Palestinians around. Many may call them “terrorists” which some Palestinians certainly are, but wouldn’t they be push-over’s if they just let Israel come into their country, take their land, and not let them become a sovereign state? I think we, as a people, owe it to Palestine. We do have to realize that Israel is a product of the holocaust, the worst event (genocide) to ever happen on this planet. So we need to respect Israel, but be fair to Palestine. Once Palestine becomes a state, the countries need to stop acting like toddlers and come to an agreement not just continue the warfare, because in my mind whichever way this decision goes, there will be consequences. The U.S. over everything needs to reduce those consequences and think about the future, not the past.
