Bombs in their heads

I really don´t know why, just because i´m a Internacionalist, people got me question wich side I´ll take in the Middle East conflict. Well, I think they get really disappointed when I answer them that I can´t take sides... peolpe should understand that this isn´t a matter of two sides, two reasons or two enemies; both sides get their prerrogatives, their allies and their weapons.

A few remarks should be done... at least I think....

- there´s no wrong, and no right.

- Both sides are terrorist, if that´s the point that really matters.... and the civilians are those who are always suffering the consequences.

- There is not a Middle East problem.... it´s the geographic center, but not exclusively the conflict one.

- the only way to preserve lifes is by international forces... even if is NATO, even if is UN, or anything else. A single, or a few counries, should not be allow to decide political measures in the name of those who´ll be likely responding for it. (This isn´t a antimericanist dogma).

- The most people gets frustrated and indifferent about it, the worse will be. nowadays, in a "globalization world", drastic measures are felt anywhere. Giving the back to the Middle East problem´s is giving back to Mankind´s History.

- Eastern civilization should be respected as a social and historical construction. They´re not worse or better than western civilization. They´re just (a little bit, by the way) different - and I HATE this therm - than us... The most ancient and fascinating civilizations were held in there...

I´ve got some much things to be said.... but I need to make a whole body for them. ow, and this one is in English because I really need to practice it.... If anyone could help me up!!!!

It gets really confused....

Uiii!

Very well indeed, amiga, I really enjoyed your view, congratulations.

Being a Jew, I constantly hear from all sides that I am no good for 'taking sides' against Israel's attitudes. Then, they automatically disconnect my plea for peace, and remark (brilliantly) that I favor the Hezbollah.

I was told that I would lose my nationality, lose my Judaism and manage to be a 'good boy' only, in desilusion.

Unfortunately, I disagree with the remarks. First of, I rather be just human than a Jew. Secondly, there is no nationality in my cosmopolitan dictionary.

Visit me along, if you will, I liked it here and shall come back.
