User blog comment:FirstStooge/Palestine or Israel?/@comment-3550280-20140722134550

Okay, I will commenting all of your opinions at last. :)

First of all, the purpose of this blog post not to spread a hate between each other or to pit each people with different opinions. But, it means to discuss the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in various of points of view of yours.

As a Indonesian and a Muslim, I would choose to side with the Palestinians on this conflict. I agree with all of Viva's words. This is a genocide for the Palestinians, especially the ones who live in the Gaza Strip. Even prior to the Arab-Israeli War, the main goal for each party of war is the one-state solution (either Israel or Palestine), there will be no other state that will exist beside each other in Palestine/Eretz Israel.

Palestine under Fatah government in the West Bank led by President Mahmoud Abbas had modified its objective at the recent time, that an independent Palestine will accept Israel to co-exist with them in the Land of Three Major Religions. This move not without a much further consideration. Palestinians had suffering for a long time to be expelled from their towns and villages that now located inside Israel where their ancestors live before. For about 40 years, most of Palestinians were forced to leave to the neighbouring countries and had no any government that continued the legitimate claim of a Palestinian State since 1948. Economically, the Palestinians much depended on Jordania, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, or Syria. A continuing conflict will ruins their economy and stability much further, more money will spent for the military advances instead for the people's well being. A peaceful independence and a mutual understanding between the Israelis and the Palestinians will be a nice solution for Palestine.

On the other side, since its foundation, Israel received many recognitions from other nations, not only the U.S. and the Free World countries, but from the Eastern Bloc ones too. With the American and Soviet assistances, Israel was able to develop its military at the past, even much further recently with an unconditional support from the United States. For Israel that having more advantages on military field, they do not need a mutual understanding with Palestine. As long as Israel able to defeat and rid the Palestinians out of the West Bank with force, why use a peaceful solution instead?

The thing will going to worse every time Israel come near to an election. The ruling government must show to its people that they able to protect the population from the other's attacks. For the sake of winning the election, the ruling Israeli government will attacks the Palestinians in order to show their force and military development. Which kind of Palestinians that they will attacked? The ones who live in a poor and isolated area of the Gaza Strip.

I myself live in Indonesia that in more stable condition in the last decades, with growing economy and an technologically-advanced military. I live with my family in a peaceful neighbourhood in a small town in South Kalimantan/Borneo. Every night, I can strolling around on my small front yard and seeing the starry and clear night sky. I live in no worry about getting bombed at night, maybe as same as with all of you too. But, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, they maybe can not even dare to look at the night sky above them. The lights on their sky are not the fireworks of a festival where they can have a happy time together, that are the rockets from their neighbouring countries that can fall to their homes or streets. They do not have an equal military technology as Israel that will guarantee that rockets will not falling on the common people's houses, instead of the Hamas leaders'.

But, that is not mean I am hating the Jews (and do not call me an anti-Semitic for hating Israel, the Arabs are the Semites too). Israel for the Jews is simply just like the radical Islamic terrorist organisations for the Muslims, they killing the innocent people in the name of other innocent people too. Israel simply does not reflecting of how Jewish people behaving in usual life, its only making the Muslims all around the world labelled the Jews as "blood-thirsty" and "arrogant" instead.

For Allah's sake, I hope this bloody conflict come the end...and Israel will realizes their grave sin of this genocide. I am looking forward for a peace, not only in the Middle-East, but also to the world, where there is no any nation that felt itself more superior than other (Watch out, U.S, even the Romans were collapsed at last at the height of their own national arrogancy).
