The Band-aid Approach

Their seems to be a growing problem with those from the outside, who are neither Palestinian nor Israeli in dealing with this ongoing war.

I am speaking in terms of activist from foreign countries, because they seem to be coming into the country with foreign idea’s that is now showing more hindrance then help.

From what I have seen, they are taking sides within some of the fractions, along with not fully understanding who the Palestinian people are, nor the whole scope of what the war completely curtails.

I for one, will say the Palestinians as well as all Arab nations, are very complex and these matter’s can not be taken lightly without creating distrust, dissention as well as just finding them as a growing nuisance; because some of their latest proposals towards peace is nothing more then a band-aid to the real issue’s at hand.

With these latest band-aid approaches, will not bring a full and lasting peace, because the wound never heals anymore then people not really wishing to wait another hundred plus years for this problem to keep going on.

Like this so called latest approach, that I have heard of the two sides’ just sitting around smoking and talking, I can sit and talk to my neighbor for 20 more years and still come to the same conclusion that their children are older and they still can not cook a decent meal. Did this solve anything, not really, we are older and it is still hard to eat at their home.

There is a lot of proposals’ out there for a viable peace towards this situation and Allah willing the time of prophesy being fulfilled, will only be the test of what true peace is all about. For man has proven so far especially the Israeli government with their two hand approach, that they wish all and the Palestinian people get one small area to stand on each other’s shoulder’s; as Israel is their jailer.

So the next time a foreign activist step’s into Palestine, look at the whole situation with out taking bias side’s and think the band-aid approach is going to work.
