4. Yes we are... but the narrative should not be based on a lie

you cannot take the perspective of the settlers in the new world, all the immigrants who came to this new world without understanding their sacrifices, hopes and dreams for a better life since most came from desperate circumstances regarding unelected kings and queens and religious doctrine that suited such kings and queens and authoritarian laws.

in too many narratives the foundations in which the narratives were perpetuated with the help of myths that relinquished one group of innocent people against another - something we all should try to always remember time and time again is forgotten within the mechanism - Today I feel the voices of the American native people, and those whose direct ancestry that were brought to this country for the express purpose of slavery are not represented enough.

And I have Palestinian friends as well who are good people and want only peace - and yes, that means they are very much against terrorism. What they want is simple. And what many Israelis also dream about is in essence simple. Peace.

And maybe to both Israeli and Palestinian alike it is a true possibility, but sadly for the last forty or so years, it seems like only a dream to one day realize.

It's a difficult situation that requires truly gallant leadership on all sides. This goes without saying!

For all people everywhere.
