The Roots of the Olive Tree

The history of Palestine and Israel is a long and turbulent one. After thoroughly studying this regions current and past history, I honestly believe that the root cause of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict lies in a struggle over land, and not the common belief that prejudice is the main cause.

The current Intifada (Intifada is an Arabic word, which means “Revolution,” it is commonly used in journalism to describe the current conflict), has killed thousands of Palestinians and hundreds of Israelis. The Palestinians strike with suicide bombs, guerilla warfare, and stones (as in, rocks), and the Israelis strike back tenfold the force with tanks, guns and heavy hitting artillery. The Israeli IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) have killed about 2000 Palestinians, demolished Palestinians homes, and uprooted olive trees (the national crop/plant, and the number one source of income for Palestinian farmers). Bizarre and sick war crimes have been committed against Palestinians, such as tying a little boy to the hood of a car as a shield, starving and harsh beating of Palestinian prisoners (ironic, seeing how Israel is meant to be the only Democracy in the Middle East, and is supposed to set an example in prisons), shooting at women in children, fabricating Palestinian bombing stories, rape of Palestinian women, and numerous other atrocities that have been outlined by the Human Rights Watch.

What would one think when they see such terror on both sides of these ancient races? How can one even began to find a solution to the perishing of these people? Where would one look, which would one, look to? After reading on numerous websites, the only proposed solution that is feasible is a single state, secular democracy. Let us look at the facts.
First, the Palestinians are not leaving anytime soon. There is a population of about 3 million Palestinians, and over 4 million Israeli citizens, excluding the 2 million Palestinian refuges outside of the state of Israel. Secondly, the Israelis won’t leave either, for obvious reasons. The only way this country will work is for a single state solution, in which, the moniker Israel becomes Israelstine, Palesrael, or simply a combination of names that the opposing cultures can agree on (which is highly doubtful they can reach a conclusion due to their shoddy histories together). ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine[/url] 24 Feb 2005)

The Palestinians and the Israelis must replant the olive tree, the olive tree of hope. With this seed they bear, they can start a new, brighter future. With this olive tree, they can, in harmony, feed the generations to come, with knowledge, food, and love. This olive tree seed can help stop this abhorrence, this animosity for Jews and Arabs alike. With this seed, they can start a new future where Jerusalem is a leading international center in the world where people from all religions, all ethnicities and all cultures are accepted and loved; treated as one.
Hopefully we can plant this seed of love together, as one nation.

Extremely well done sir. the (as in rocks) part made me laugh. And I also must say, as you already admitted, I see the Pal bias in there. But good job.

Oh pooh, read it! :angry:
