Paul, I might have missed this in the news leading to the invasion of Gaza, but was anyone convicted for the death of the three Jewish teens? I know the Jewish settlers who kidnapped, tortured and burned alive a Muslim Palestinian boy in retaliation for murder of the three teens confessed, and that hundreds of Muslim Palestinians were arrested in connection with the disappearance and death of the Jewish teens, but I can't find any news of anyone confessing or being convicted of the aforementioned crime. Of course, again, I might have missed news feed. This actually would have been an interesting piece that the authors could have added to their article.

Really interesting. Very interesting exchanges. I agree with Manueli and Dan et al. I share that I have arab blood, but over time I have learnt that to really be set free, one must be willing to think with no biases. Examine the facts. Truth is truth. That article is one sided. It forgets to mention the three Jewish boys who were killed. What about their lives and parents tonight? Can you live with rockets raining down on you? I know, there is the occupation issue etc. I could say I am for the arab eyes closed, but I am really for the truth. I think the article did a disservice. World leaders too are AWOL and derilect for this is politics now and taking sides to score points. This needs and cries out for leadership and folk who really want peace to come to the table. We have none sadly. And can we talk while you shoot at me? I cant. 

 

I personally will always fight for the weaker but in some way, I wage arming myself with truth too. This is far too complex, rotten, terrible, for such a one sided paper to be written in such high valued journals. Too much wrong on both sides. Both. I am sorry but this is my view, small and nothing I am, but I will not be biased by such high valued journals and minds. We must pray it ends now. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best,

Paul E. Alexander
