I have enough of pro-israeli or pro-palestinian videos of people tortured, killed, abused, scared, mistreated and anything terrible human beings could do. Its not because I dont want to see: I want to know and I want to see and I am writing this exactly because I do not want to hide the situation; but to my eyes this seems like a race to publish the worst and crudest possible information, many times taken out of the original context, other times misquoted, and in basically the entirety of times just a mere exercise of increasing the level of tension with zero, or less than zero attempt of understanding the other side. Which is, we all know, the reality: a good deal of israelis and palestinians hate each others in the worst case, or cannot accept the other side reasons in the best scenario, and each ones reasons have been lost under years of suicide bombers, occupation, missiles, torture, concentration camp strategy, walls, terrorist organizations, check points, orthodoxy, children turned into warriors or victims, and much more. We are witnessing of one of the wrongest misuse of the internet ever, and in particular of social networks: vomiting violence and our own exclusive truths on others. Please stop. Lets try to publish some stories of people striving to resist this craziness and violence. There are not only teachers beating children in Palestine nor police men hitting protesters in Israel. Lets try to talk about this war through the stories of brave parents copying with the missile launch when they have to walk their children to school, or indestructible doctors that cure blessed people when there are no medicines at all. Lets try to bring out some humanity even in this horrible scenario. Not an idillic picture, that does not exist, just a more humane one. Instead of letting the main stage to violence and madness only, lets share stories of people trying to live and survive who only want a better present for them and their families. Life and not only Death.
