You know those who LEFT where they were living and because someone else was coming to kill their neighbors. And then - they could come back and take what was left. You know, those people. Funny how they would make up stories years later about how connected they were to their land...how they would never leave....
But when the murder, the extermination they planned on didn't happen, and not happy that they displaced themselves (***can't remember anyone marching them out to exile can you - that is because they left that place that they claim so part of their soul voluntarilarly***)...instead of making a new home, a new life (under the same nation they were living in before - EGYPT) - they did and continue to do nothing to help or improve their society. Instead efforst are concentrated on training and inciting new generations to not just help others, but to actively murder those same neighbors they wanted to (and failed) to have kill off years before.
Funny, the ones they willingly left for - who they belonged to in name and right (the Egyptians), as there certainly was no such thing as a Palestinian then - also won't do anything for them now. Nor will any other of the civilized peoples in the area. Israel and others - as civilized humans actually help support those who won't do do for themselves. A pity those ignorant wacko delusional people don't use it to improve themselves, to make where they are better, to make the world better. But prefer to make up fables of how mistreated they are, while being proud of the reality of how much hate they have for others.
That seems like a lovely child you are holding. I hope she is happy and becomes all she can and wants in her life. That she doesn't get hurt by hatred nor hurt others. That she gets nor wishes harm. That she has no reason to make excuses for her past, nor feels any burden from those before, but just proud of the future she makes and will leave to others. The American dream. The worlds' dream. She is part both, yes?
Wow! Isn't that first-time snowing in Israel, huh? Unbelievable!
