Feeling Angry
A Parent's Nightmare Part III
I am appalled by the vast sums of money in the hands of the Palestinian leaders that is earmarked for the training, motivation, arming and rewarding of these atrocities instead of using these funds to show the world how a people can utilize wealth for schools (that teach tolerance and love as well as academics), build playgrounds, sports arenas, theaters, museums, universities and initiate industry to enable their own people to be employed and not have to go outside their homes to work for their so called enemy who will pay them to work but still be hated.

We cannot envision any justification for this brutal,, evil,, and barbaric behavior of this culture.
I cannot understand a world which condemns a small country that has for years had to defend itself against the surrounding enemy and who are forced to give back land which was won as a result of defeating attackers whose only goal is to drive Israel into the sea.
