I write today with heavy thoughts in my head and emotions in my heart. The conflict in Israel is forever escalating, forever present, and forever looming.
Israel is struggling, for peace with others as well as peace with itself. The conflict seems never ending, and being here in the States makes it that much more difficult to really understand. The media attacks on Israel are rampant, and yet 90% of Israelis support this war. Doesn't that mean something?
My family is Israeli and I know my relatives are burdened with this weight every day while I am able to sit here comfortably in my life and ponder the destruction and depression that is happening on both sides. It seems useless as well as impossible to judge the actions of these fighters. Both are fighting for the right to exist as a nation and as a people. And I'm half a world away, stuck with thoughts in my head and confusion escalating.
