Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is serious. I'm not sure if this should be posted here, but I have to announce it and spread the word. For people just started talking about this. And I apoligize if I may have mixed up whether they are Arabs or Pakistine, I just recently found out about this.

This story goes all the way back in history:

When the Jews left Israel, they went to Egypt. Many, many years later, they were able to escape slavery in Egypt and go back to Israel, only, the Palestines were already settling there.

*time skip*

Today, the area of the people of Israel of Jewish faith (note: AREA not population) takes op the majority of the country. While Pakistines are put in 3 areas, each of which, has big walls surrounding them and small areas for the Arabs and are living under poverty.

These areas are highly guarded by soldiers with guns. They are not let out of these areas without special permits, soldiers shoot at the people for the smallest reasons and the Palestines have only rocks to protect them, homes and farms are being destroyed just because it was decided.

I first discovered about this when the sophomores of my school were to go on a field trip to see one of the films featured in an Arab film festival. It was called "Slingshot Hip Hop".

This explained the situation in Israel and what Arabs have gone through and how some are using hip hop to express their suffering.

Everyone loved the film (the theater was full of high schoolers), it had awesome music that had meaning. (which was what hip hop was originally about in the US)

I will have some more links and videos of what's happening and the songs later:

(This is the direct link to the movie site, trust me, the movie was AWESOME)

I know, it's sad, isn't it. There are so many important sides to a story that for the most part, we never see. Causing discrimination.

One of the big reasons there is suicide bombing in Israel is because the soldiers would kill Arab families and one member would be left. So he/she would try to take revenge. But try to kill themself be he/she might not like to live with the pain or was tricked into thinking it is the "better way".

I know i should probably keep my big mouth shut, but i cant on this topic. If and when it comes down to the Israelis VS. The Arabs I am with the Israelis. If they wanted to they could easily get rid of the palestinians. As for how i see the palestinians, i see them as a rag tag bunch of terrorists that the Israelis should Squash like a bug!

Medic, that's exactly the kind of attitude that lets the mistreatment of these people continue.

Just because of some stories that turn into assumptions, you go and consider all of them terrorists and that they should all die. This is what makes the world so screwed up!

They are suffering, people! Listen to the words of their music, and all of this information people are starting to give!

They're just using guerilla tactics, if they had hi-tech armory this show would probably be a hell of fun.

Killing civilians (non-combatants) is coward in any way. It doesn't matter which nationality they have, unfortunately both, Palestines AND Israelis kill civillians with their attacks on each other.
