Recieve’s one third of the entire foreign aid budget, yet has less than.001 of the world’s population and already has one of the world's higher per capita incomes. Israel, with 6 million people, gets more U.S. aid than all of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined when you take out Egypt and Colombia.

Ben Gurion- “ We must expel the Arabs and take their places.” Chairman Heilbrun- “We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves” Ariel Sharon- “Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements, because everything we take now will stay ours…Everything we don’t grab will go to them.” Yitzhak Shamir- “The Palestinians would be crushed like grasshoppers…heads smashed against the boulders and walls”

A one state solution would be the best solution to bring peace in the occupied territories and the current state of Israel. Where people of all faiths could worship, work, trade, live in happiness with their families and have equal access to water, parks, jobs, and not be discriminated against because of their culture, or religion. I believe there could be peace, if people started learning about the life of Palestinians. Listen to other sources other than Fox News. Take the time to listen, and learn.

My family and many members of the community have been working for peace for many years now. From anti war rallies in D.C. to peace protests on the streets of Oakland, we have tried to get the word out about the horrible things going on across the world. I feel the need to do these things, because I know that one day there will be peace. All we need to do is stop listening the bad media, and strong powers. Many Americans, and people of countries around the world know about the things going on in Palestine, and try their best to help the people of the Holy Land. Many of many faiths, including Jews, Muslims, and Christians are working hard for peace. I couldn’t imagine living life without knowing the things that go on around the world, and not doing anything about it. I know that one day the people of Palestine will be free.
