Finally I have to write about the way I have felt since the beginning of the latest Israel-Palestine conflict. I have been mulling over this for too long -it has to come out.
Did you notice the way articles always end these days?
One example today, today being a bloody Sunday (100 Palestinians dead and 13 Israeli soldiers) following a bloody week: https://fr.news.yahoo.com/gaza-7-palestiniens-tu%C3%A9s-nuit-lors-dune-attaque-051431028.html?vp=1
So, did you notice? Yes, there is always that last paragraph supposed to remind us about the origins of the conflict -a paragraph that goes like this:
"This new spiral of violence was triggered by the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli students in June, attributed to Hamas by Israel, followed by the assassination of a young Palestinian burnt alive by extremist Israelis in Jerusalem"
No, no, no and NO! Journalists: this is the way you should end your articles: "burnt alive by a **mentally ill** Israeli" -the guy who did this horrible, horrible thing was perhaps an "extremist Israeli" on the side, but first and foremost, he was mentally ill! People, he was known by police for having already tried to strangle **his own one-year old daughter**!!! He was INSANE!
How could this information fall through the cracks?! (This info, by the way, was made public shortly after the event, and now for some reason I cannot find it on Google any more, I guess because there are just so many results that pop up when you try to research something on this crisis)
CONCLUSION: You all SANE people in Israel, you all SANE people in Palestine, and you all SANE people in Ukraine and Russia: please, please, please leave your weapons now!!
