Thank you for accept me as a friend. Is Mo'min your real name or your nick name? I like your music taste. There are also hebrew songs. Do you understand hebrew ? If yes, how or where did you learn it ? I try to learn hebrew but it is very difficult to do so in switzlerland. I know only a few words in arabic like shukran, ahad, chamsa, habibi, wahat, sacha. My neighbour is also from Jenin. He lost a brother who was 20 years old. It is a tragedy.

also, kids who go to sleep in Sderot don't need to go to bed fearing for their lives, will tonight fall a rocket on my house and kill me and my family?
Violence should stop. Because more violence always generates more violence. People should talk and listen. And listening is the tough part, because when you are aching you only want to talk about what's painful to you, and have no energy to listen to someone else's pain.
I see no magic solution here. Israel wants to leave the territories. That's the people's desire. But not before the borders and existence of Israel are secure and no threats are made to the people and the country.
As long as the actions performed by the other side have no respect to the basic rule of "live and let live" - the violence continues. And not because any of us want it.
The cease-fire didn't last more that 4 hours and missiles were launched at Sderot again. Another Israeli killed. Would any country suffer these attacks on its civilians and do absolutely nothing to stop it??
I wish, with all my heart, that people like you, with tolerance and openness and belief in human beings will take charge and control the extremists in your nation, so the violence will stop and conversations will be made possible again.
With peace, even the sky is no limit to what this region can achieve.
Still, you need to remember that blind hate will get you no where. If you want to achieve peace you need to see the human beings behind the uniform. This is a difficult challenge, but it's a must. You need to remember that they are frightened kids who finished school two days ago. That they also have aching, fearful mothers who love them and care for them.
We are, in a way, pawns of politicians who keep aiming higher and higher and are blinded by their own unrealistic promises to their audiences. Peace could have been achieve years ago if the process wasn't murdered with Rabin and slaughtered by extremists who still think either Israelis or Palestinians can simply by wiped off the map of the earth.
Say NO. Say "I don't believe Israel should be wiped off". Say "I believe we can co-exist as peaceful neighbors".
I know I am saying this every day, but with every KASSAM that falls on civilians in the Negev I feel like an idiot who got punched in the stomach.
