This is ridiculous.I am an African American and I have been to Israel, Palestine. I’ve been to Jerusalem, Tiberius, the West Bank, and Tel Aviv. I spent some time in those places, and my experience with the state of Israel is that it is a very racist country. Not only did I witness hostile racism against the Palestinian people, I experienced racism from Israeli soldiers and regular citizens. A woman actually spat on me in a museum.
A comparison of Apartheid South Africa and Israel/Palestine is not so far off.
My experience of the Holy Land was tainted by the blatant, unabashed racism I experienced there. My experience with Jews was very different from the Zionists and Israelis I lived with in Israel, and it hurt to see such hateful bastards hiding beneath the cloak of religion.
The Palestinians who bomb and kill Israelis are not right, but neither are the soldiers who shoot and kill Palestinian children or the military officers who use missile strikes on apartment buildings to kill one person.
No one who kills children and then hides such a filthy act in the name of God is honorable. It is time to stop hiding behind Ideology and come back to the true meaning of the words written in the books that we profess to believe in. My God is the same God of Islam and Judaism. That God is a God of Love and I honestly believe that if God weeps, he weeps for Israel and Palestine.
