Praying for both Israelis and Palestinians

Editors, Asheville Global Report,

Your mission states, “We cover news that is underreported by mainstream media.” Do you think that the plight of the Palestinians has been underreported? Obviously you do not watch mainstream media, or even read it for that matter.

Apparently you feel that the murders that have been perpetrated upon innocent Israeli men, women and children has been over-reported and that is why you make no mention of it in you paper. Do you approve of this slaughter?

In order to fully understand what is happening today, one must read what has happened in the past. The very day in 1948, when the state of Israel was mandated by the UN, the surrounding Arab nations declared war on Israel and blatantly stated “We will drive you into the sea.” This has been their mission ever since.

In order to be fair and non-biased it might behoove you to do some research into the events that have led to the present day conflict.

“Let’s blame it all on Israel” does not work! Read your history books please.

I say a prayer every day for both the Israeli AND Palestinian people.
