Hehehehehehehe!!!! No, no, no, no fighting my brother!
Yusupha, the fact is: in a war people die , innocent people! The Israeli
army in their operation 'Defensive Shield' as they call their attacks in the
West Bank goes out to murder innocent Palestinian civilians. The
Palestinians in retaliation are not equipped with the same military
sophistication. Their bodies turned into warheads are their only weapons to
retaliate and inflict some casualty on Israel. I can't believe i am trying
to explain this...come on Yus, you know all these facts! Anyway, i believe
that oppression is the same whether in the Gambia or in the Mid-East! I have
difficulty to see the Israeli leadership in better light. All i see is a
brutal force, a force that has reduced the palestinian people to suicide
bombers and 'terrorists'!
It maybe seen as a myopic view of not accepting your God-given right to side
with your conscience.
But hey, if you are comfortable with your stance, i am the last one to go
into a tantrum for that. I truly believe that we share more in common than
our difference on this issue. As one who upholds the need for diverse views,
i'm saying no hard feelings from this end! BTW way how is your foot? Hope
you have fully recovered now! Have a top coming week!!!
Sanyang.
