The americans are one-way in terms of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians , every conflict have to sides and it is very important to higlight that

To ignore the palestinians and try to pretend that they do not exist at all does not solve the problems on the contrary , I find most americans justify Israel occupation and wish the life of the palestinians , the palestinians are victims who were forced to pay the price of Europe and the christians crimes against the jews

Bishop Desmund Tutu have been banned to come to the palestinians territories via Israel but he came in via Egypt with human rights delegation , he describes the palestinians situation in very correct way , he said the following

The palestinians pay the debt as westerners know because of the holocaust which affect the Jews in the 1940s and that is what makes them not to put perssure on Israel that a peace becomes possible , I think westerns are familiar with all rights a terrible guilt for the holocaust pretrated by the Nazi now that they know debt , they know remorse and want to expiat but it is now the western world that concern themselves while the palestinians who still pay the price , I hope that ordinary people in the west wake up one day and say this , we do not accept

The americans need to learn much of a wise man like bishop Desmund Tutu who fought against aparthied in south africa , There are no normal people who can defend the aparthied system in Israel , would you like to discuss the problem then you have to be a neutral and humanist
