The trip was planned in a hurry. I had the conflict in the Holy Land long enough on television. I had this small country, but more importantly, whose actions could lead to shake the world to see. I had to write about it and see for yourself. It seemed one of those things that he could not refuse to come. It seemed to me that there is a story of two parts, which was written in part and is there a way to make it read in the image. Here I was at O'Hare, loans,Travel. Summer was Israel not in use, but I've never seen a tourist everywhere I went, and I will not become one today. 911 has had a huge effect on me, like most Americans, and made me take my sizzling, bleeding in all seriousness. I knew something was happening and I was historically a part of it. It 's just boring story. Sometimes, only part of it and hopefully on the road a bit 'of historya.
To be honest, that was back in Israel in 33 countries. I had the privilege to the east of the eastern border of Bangladesh, as far north as Iceland and south to Senegal, West Africa. Each region has something in my life and made me think differently than before I visited. Muslims, Catholics, Hindus were all special memories for me. However, not all spouses have no impact on the bottom of my soulJews and Palestinians in the midst of the war of the stones, the agencies of jet pumps and medical history are preserved in the Holy Land. The truth is that both Jews and Palestinians are wonderful. Of these two rich cultures are masses of people in difficulty who want nothing more than peace. You want to keep their traditions to educate their children and live a simple life without the anxiety persists. The Israelis, who have worked in my hotel and my friends were far awayopened in the tragic conflict, as one imagines. I tried to build confidence in their faith and the future promises to his country. I tried to listen very well, too. Three workers at the hotel had to offer my family Shmuel in the bus bombing on June 18 rejected. E 'was hard to be positive, but it took her whole world collapsed repealed.
Surprisingly, the Palestinians broke very kind to me from behind his eyes, angry, and they were not sure thatthe veil of tears, could not hide. After spending time with his family before all I can say that they have a deep bond between them. They are nomads who have nowhere to go. They all should stand by Israel if necessary. They are honest and determined to give everything for their country, even if their blood if necessary. Ahmet was the canteen manager at my hotel. After talking with him for an hour, I realized that this man was very wise. He could speak good English,Hebrew and Arabic, their mother tongue. Get this man trapped in his environment, and delivered him to be productive and earn much money. He said: "I love you all very nice people ..
Of course, I would have a place for my people, but now I have a son and want to live. They treat me very well in Israel. I love my family. "The words were profound for me. It 's a wise man, therefore, deserves respect from both sides of the conflict.There is a reasonable assumption on both sides as purely evil or always good, fair or unfair to declare unequivocally. There are two great peoples who have become strategic options. This means that I must be ready to write the story of how I saw and everything I had preconceived ideas about who is right or not to remove. Should be neutral. He heard the two halves of the story. What could be the situation after a quiet flight centerHoly Land. Should not be.
I did my patriotic duty and was at the airport three hours in advance. An Israeli security guard approached me quickly. He took my passport, looked at the portrait of eight years and not what I thought. I totally agree. I told him the picture and what was bad. She asked, "Why are you in Israel now?" Sometimes I ask myself the same question. "I do not know what's going on here?" II said that I, of course, and I'm not afraid. I answered all their questions, and I was told five minutes later, would not let me go on this flight. I am the next morning and no explanation was provided for waiting. So after a good night at the Radisson Hotel ELAL card, I took my flight the next morning. This experience and six times my bags were completely emptied and X-rays and beaten up and moved my journey has shown me thatIt would be the closest thing to being a war correspondent, who had never known. This proved true, as I found myself in front of the post 911 of the world and two people under siege.
Arrival in Tel Aviv is like landing in the middle of the world. The story was invented in the Middle East. Jerusalem has been the face of the Eternal City. Traffic was running "style of the Middle East, but worked all the lights and horns sounded a bit '. I was tired and sleepy, but can notto stay in Jerusalem during the Intifada, and I have little.
The old city of Jerusalem is amazing. Its ancient walls, which had served as a stronghold of the royal touch. I walked around the walls of the past, the Jaffa Gate, the door and finally arrived at Damascus Gate. It 'was the Arab quarter. There were thousands of people who were there and it was as if I had come from one country to another. women cover themselves, and voices shouting in Arabic has given me the opportunityon the other side of the story heard and that's what I wanted. Having lived in several Muslim countries, I felt fine and went to the crowd. All together, I talked with 26 other Arab men in my first day. None of them have expressed their support for terrorists. Thick quiet serenity of the ancient city was misleading. These merchants knew they had to endure difficult times. The calm did not take long though. When I left, eyes and dragged mebefore me. It was my camera, my face or the West that I am a foreigner who was in their minds, but an interest in history, not necessarily the desire of the plight of its people, who had been dismissed by the major powers developed understand the world and their Arab brethren? General, that day, in the old circle, an army helicopter above. The word was that there were two bombs in the city murder spelled. Overall, I spent my first week in a conversation with manythese parents and normal children who have no idea what his future.
It 's hard to appease, even a little' saturated Western consider the nightmare of the Palestinians. Their society is more open, when in many other Muslim countries. I am a leader in the Muslim world for literacy. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Palestinian people are able to produce a competent leadership. The freedom of democracy and fairso that the elections for a new leadership. If the UN and the United States can convince the Palestinian people, that all elections should be fair and democratic, the people voting for the new leader because the Palestinians have met at home, they want peace. Their businesses fail because the tourists are gone and their families are at risk. On the contrary, said that although the vast majority of Israelis have convinced me that the Palestinian citizens of Israel, when it could reachequal rights and respect on a footing of equality with the Jewish state. None of them expect a full picture of reality, but rather live on the border with the relative safety of the Israeli side of the debate.
In an interview with Jewish citizens, which is related to me that this is not possible in the current climate. Who could know who was right and who is not? Arafat was a bit 'better the last great future leader of Hamas, IslamJihad, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, or any other terrorist group or party? How can Israel a lasting peace agreement with a nation that was divided among his people, as we see today in Gaza? A young woman pushing a Palestinian lawyer. "I have many friends who are Jewish and we love that we have always done everything together.
Well, you can not know in touch with God, how I miss. "The conclusion istook both parties, that fear, people are brutal. They are all fighters, not all the fighters. You wake up, try to go to work and try to pay the bills. When children see their pride and fear for the future of their children. Little is known lines from the Holy Land, why not surrender, moving stories of hatred and death. Perhaps, if the means to go and talk to them, everyone would have agreater sense of hope for the future of peace in the Middle East. What I have learned to show why, as elusive as peace in Israel.
