Which side are you on?

In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Asking that question is demonstrative of why the conflict has yet to be resolved. There is no right side. Each country has a long history of human rights abuses on both sides, each country has its legitimate claims and each have a long, long history of conflict.

The issue isn't an easy one. I come from a strongly anti-British Irish family. Most people play off the history of trouble we've had but it runs very deep and generational for those involved. The same is true for Israel and Palestine. I've heard 9-year-olds interviewed who express nothing but hate for people they've never met.

Whatever the answer is, it will take decades to come to pass. The first act must be sitting down and talking without defense.

@Oconnor: I understand.yet there are exceptions to that rule.of with age comes wisdom.and understanding.some may live a very long life and have no common sense.or some may be full of wisdom.and wise beyond his age but yet is not acceptable because of that youth and also being autisic.and having only lived a mere moment of his life.one who has mostly engaged in conversation with those who are many years his age.and yet is still a child.and behave as such.as he should.become confused when his elders who once had meaningful dialogue with him only to find out that they have been dealing with a*little boy* casts him a side and he is left wondering what happened.now no one takes me seriously as before in everyone eyes I am just a kid and nothing more.I came here seeking friendship and advice to help me become more of a social being which I am not.I am still learning forever seeking knowledge and wisdom to help me to become a better person.I used to swear a lot.but haven't done so in over two months now .thanks to some of you own here who told me to be myself that I don't have to pretend to be accepted and I haven't cursed since.I am not that bad person I was pretending to be.and I am graceful for that.thanks again for listening to me.

@Abbenblackwolf: You can be wise beyond your age, but there is no human experience yet that matures a 13-15 year old by 40 years. And wisdom itself is empty if not informed by education and intelligence.
