Hey Esraa. Thank You for your message. What I wanted to clarify with you is that I do not think I have the write to tell anyone what they support or believe in is wrong even though I might think so. I do agree that was Israel has done is diabolical and the massacring of thousands of innocent Palestinian citizens is blatantly evil. But I also do not think what Hamas is doing is necessarily right. I understand you can make the argument that Hamas would not even has been created if it was not for Israel’s constant pressure on Palestine for centuries, but I do not think that is a viable excuse for raping and killing hundreds of Israelis in recent years. And there has been in fact reports of Israeli children which have been killed, and I keep addressing how I believe that even though Palestine has lost significant more lives than Israel in this conflict, this does not mean that the death of a Israeli should be viewer any less than the death of Palestinian and vice versa. And you are correct, this conflict goes back centuries ago and Palestine have been the victim multiple times, and a large amount or Israelis have been raised to hate Palestinians, but also so have Palestinians which have been raised to hate Israelis. When I say this conflict is complex, I mean that this conflict’s roots are very complicated and not straightforward. The disputes over the Holy land of Jerusalem is a clear example of the complexity of this conflict, and I would have to respectfully disagree in saying how I believe this conflict is complex and how there is not one side that is clearly in the right and wrong.
