John Lennon's beautiful lyrics have a lot of meaning and are timeless. We, as world, are far away from reaching peace, that is an obvious statement.
However, one that is not so obvious in my eyes is: "Israel should Have Never Been Created".
I came across a poll online the other day that asked: "Would the world is better off today if Israel had never formed after World War II? Why?" and what hit me the hardest was the fact that 74% (so far) have voted that world would be better off without the Jewish state.
What? That for me is a very scary thought so I set myself to surf the net a bit and find out what people were saying about that subject, when I came across an article by William Hughes and I was even more scared. Reading things like:
"The land on which the Palestinians had been living for centuries, in peace, with a minority Jewish population, has been gradually transformed into an Apartheid state by the machinations of the Zionist Movement."
And:
"That Apartheid state, in turn, is today dominated by Israel’s Death-Mayhem-and- Occupation Machine."
That comes close to putting tears in my eyes. I can understand that in a political aspect stating that Israel should never had existed makes sense and I don't want to delve in that aspect. But, in a human sense, that thought is absurd. The Jewish people have been through so much and never had a place to call their own. Living their whole lives as a minority in Islamic and catholic countries and having their own "promised" land was overdue.
The Islamic people have their land, their countries. All that the Jewish people have is this little piece of land that they hold dear to their hearts and I am being bias about this. I am an immigrate in Israel and after knowing what the Jewish people have been through, and still be able to say that the world would be better off without Israel, saddens me immensely. Politically I could perhaps agree, but as a Human being, NEVER.
I am glad I could find at least someone that also thinks so here.
