Terrible things are happening

Yesterday I was watching the tube, like many others, and after Jay Leno came a biography movie about the children in Palestine. Yes, it was a movie about the Israel- Palestine problem that has been going on since after WW2. Palestine is a country, or maybe that is just an ideal thought, that is being taken over and invaded by the Israelies. When I was watching the film I tried to watch it with an open mind, tried to see it from a neutral point of view, but my anger just soared as I saw a huge army tank rummage through the streets of Palestine, scaring children by speeding towards them and Israeli soldiers shooting in order to scare the children. I will admit that the children were throwing rocks and such at the tanks, but what are several pebles to a huge army tank? Being a soldier in one of them tanks, getting rocks thrown at me non-stop, I believe I would get a little bit annoyed, but then if I was an Israeli soldier in a tank, in the Palestine area, pretending to have some power over the Palestinians, I would think to myself... "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?!?" It's also amazing to see how the Palestine people worship the people who die. It is seen as being inappropriet to cry when a person dies due to Israeli soldiers. Those who die are martyrs, dying for their faith. You saw small children talking about how they wanted to be martyrs and die for Palestine. Where does this nationalism come from? It of course comes from the hate for those who are invading their lives. The Palestine people are prisoners within their own towns, checkpoints blocking the roads out, Israeli soldiers in the mountains, ready to shoot at any Muslim when they find the need. The constant terror that the Palestine live with is not a thing which people should have to put up with. It is a violation of their human rights, the right to be a human being. Living constantly in fear of course draws out the anger and irrationability in the people. Damn, I can tell you all that by watching that movie, I became ashamed of being where I was. Living in Iceland in a country so peaceful, studying a topic that will, most likely, help those who have money. I felt that I should be somewhere else helping others, letting others know about the war crimes being done by the Israelies in Palestine. Hopefully this post will open the minds of others, and show them that the way that the Israelies are acting towards the Palestinians, is the exact same way that the Nazi's acted towards the Jews. Just terrible that this is what the USA are supporting. Pray for peace on Earth, Hildur Sólveig
