For 66 years, the Palestinians have lived under occupation and humiliation. Millions of people have been killed and forced to live in harsh refugee camps in unwelcoming neighboring countries and those who have stayed behind have been mentally, emotionally, and physically tortured on a consistent basis. Children come home from schools that are only routinely opened to find their families and friends in pools of blood, and are told they have no future. At what point will the world say enough is enough? How is this possible in the 21st century? And when you allow that despair to persist for so long, what do you expect the people to do? Killing innocent people is never justified and as a parent I really do feel for the parents of the 3 Israeli teens who were kidnapped and killed. No innocent person should ever have to suffer for the transgressions of another. But to leave 1.8 million people in the virtual concentration camp of Gaza with the worst congestion in the world, routine bombings, open sewers, the highest unemployment rate in the world, and no room what so ever to better their situation is outrageous in the 21st century.
