Justice

Justice

Justice is always less just than it seems...
You can’t create sympathy for an injustice, when in the attempt to lessen an injustice you create another injustice.

The other night I was watching the memorial of the fallen Jews on the news, they were at Auswitz. They had invited the president of Israel and some more important names.

I thought: ‘why not also invite the president of Palestine and maybe they will have some more compassion for the situation the Jews were in and get some sympathy for the reason they were given half of Palestine by the United Kingdom.’

Then I learned that even though Palestine has been around for at least two thousand years it is not acknowledged as a country by the world, since half of it was given to the Jews and was named Israel.
All of the sudden I got a lot more sympathy for the cause and a lot more insight in the motives of the Palestinians.

For what happened when the Dutch, who had a different religion, were oppressed by the Spanish?
They went underground and fought a war against the Spanish for eighty years before they won this war and became independent once again.

I do not agree with the method of war being used by the Palestinians. But that method is only used by a few radicals. I understand why a lot of countries around Palestine are supporting their cause, but I don’t understand why whiles giving the Palestinians weapons and other materials, they don’t make it a bigger point on their political agenda.
I also don’t understand why the Israeli’s who have been oppressed for so many years and have had systematically structured genocide and what ever other injustice.
Why after all of this they do not understand that the Palestinians are not thrilled that their land is being taken away, that they are denied access to so many places they too find holy in their religion.
For is that not what happened to the Jews too at one point?
Now that the Israeli’s know that the English and the Americans have got their backs, the government of Israel is even using propaganda not only in their own country but also for the outside world to get more people to think that the Palestinians are solely bad people and that they have no reason at all to attack Israel as fierce as they do.

I firmly believe that where two are fighting, both parties are to blame.
And also that where two are fighting and one wins there is no peace.

Injustice is everywhere, and whiles sticking your head in the sand does block your sight of it, it does not make it go away, also supporting one cause where there are more causes, only increases the likeliness of an ongoing disagreement and decreases the chances of actual sustainable and long if not everlasting peace, being the middle child I have learned this a long time ago...
