When Can We Go Home?

Many Pro-Israel governments like to use the word militant or terrorist for any Palestinian who has to struggle in their own country for self survival against the Israeli Occupation of Palestine. What I am finding many in the world doesn’t understand you have to have self protection in some form to survive the wonton genocide by the Israeli government towards the Palestinian people.
For the countless millions forced to be global refugees or living in exile because for what is becoming now generations who have not been able to see the place they call home far too long. These self same people many times have lived and died in foreign lands and the same for many of their children. Most people think this whole problem started in 1948, but it actually began as far back as about 1917. When the Jewish people was suffering through the holocaust, in about sixteen years they was liberated; when will the Palestinian people be liberated and allowed to return home and live in peace?
We are forced to live as they say the Jewish people have lived in the four corners of the world, it was written the Jewish people and for this I am sad did acts over two thousand years ago to cause their expulsion, to be forced away from their home and to never see again until the Messiah comes. But the Palestinian people did not do anything to be subjected to such massive horror being done to them. We are forced and beaten to leave our homeland and for this many would rather be apart of the sand, then do this. For as many know there is no place like home.
For those of us forced to live in foreign countries, many of us have been taught to not assimilate to these foreign lands, for the simple reason they are foreign lands. Palestine lives in the hearts of every man, woman and child and no one will ever take this away from us!
The majority of Palestinian people are kind and generous, hardly the militants the Pro-Israel governments like to show in the newspapers and television. And saying, any group are terrorist is a travesty to the countless millions of these people who live in every country in the world. For they have homes, jobs and families just like you do. Most would rather give you the shirt of their back then harm you.
What I have found even since the fears of September 11, many people do not know that Muslims in general and Palestinians would rather help and be friendly to those horrible news pictures. Many people who take the time to know us find they like us very much and I can even go so far to say enjoy our company. We are a close people this is true, but the occupation I think have made these bonds stronger for much of the Palestinian population, again I can even say we like to joke and laugh. We love to eat and share our kindness to anyone who would take the time to walk into our lives. We defiantly are not a closed door people. I guess you can say many of us or big in community service, but for many the only recognition we want is a thank you.
Like me doing this blog page, many things have been said to me, that I have found are reprehensible because I and countless other people actually see the true need for peace and justice. So you know they are not all Palestinians. But one thing lying must stop, murder must stop and if there is not peace in the current future God himself will cleanse the earth of these criminals.
The last remark, I care to make is in regards to the recent bombing at that restaurant in Tel Aviv, in my opinion it was due to the recent terrorist bombings and starvation being subjected to the Gaza and West Bank. I have made it known time again I do not approve of such acts, but what has happened in the Occupation areas and the fact no one is stopping it, created this situation.
