Once of Harmony, Not of War

I tend to think many people these days only see Palestine for how the country is now, nothing but plagued with war.

But their was a time when this was not so, before the occupation. Palestine is a land of the greatest beauty and is known as the center of the world, as well as the Holy land.

Their was a time when Palestine was a place felt to be a land of the greatest harmony and peace, where the three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam where friends and neighbor’s. It was common to go to each other’s home’s to eat and all the children played with each other. Furthermore, what seems to me so important, the true love of family and friends.

I was reminded today of a sorrow that is often times felt among the Palestinian people but often times never spoken, of how it really was before the occupation.

How their was so much love between people, their beauty and uniqueness that made up this country. People tend to think the war is just about land ownership, but it goes much further then this with the Zionist trying to destroy the beauty of a culture, like the extinction that should be on the endangered list.

I have often heard from some that have wished to understand the Palestinian people and their culture that it is not only separate from of the Arab countries, for no two Arab countries are alike as far as language and culture.

I read a story once that what appeared to have been an isolated people once, that when their language was changed to English and the assimilation to main stream global society what was created for these people is extinction. Majority of Palestinians refuse to be subjected to this type of cruelty, for one thing people tend to forget the true people known as Palestinians as the most riches and unique culture known to man, as well as an ancient culture that dates many thousands of years.

This is not just a simple genocide of a people, but to put something in the past like that which was written in the days of Moses (PBUH) for example. When you create a loss such as this, it will never be returned and the effect upon mankind could very well be catastrophic, I tend to think this element is forgotten.

If you think I am not correct see and learn about the culture of the people known as, Palestinians.”

You see war, thanks to the Zionist, but who do you think wishes peace, the people that many subject with the misguided label of “Terrorist” or “bad guys,” the Palestinian people for they speak louder for peace and wish it; where the Zionist who spit on the dove.
