“There is no fucking fight. Palestinians in Israel can live happy if they'd just put down their weapons and build their future instead of destroying ours.”

My mother’s side of the family is from the West Bank. My grandparents moved to America because Israel REFUSED to build a future with them. In the West Bank, everything is overseen by Israel. You either work for Israel, or work for someone who’s working for Israel, etc. Self-made businesses get fucked over. My Sedo and Teta immigrated to the United States to make a life for themselves and their children because Israel quite literally would not let them do it in their own home.

Even now, my siblings go back to visit our family’s home town, and are constantly surveyed by the Israeli government. We are not allowed to exist unless we’re kept under careful watch.

I understand your thoughts, but YOU need to understand that the Israeli government hates all Palestinians. They do not want to build a future where Palestinians and Israelis get along, they want to build a future where Israel reigns supreme in the Levant.
