An Important Note for the Future of Palestine and Israel

Greetings my audience, and may peace be upon you all. The reason I have started to publish my ideas in blogs are due to the discomforting times and abundant conflict in my homeland. We Arabs have faced so much grief, and when we turn to our leaders, they grant us nothing in the regard of stablity, if not more greif. We need to rise up and create nations with diversity, and more important, diverse peoples who genuinely feel a love for their fellow statesman. This may be accomplished through religion, and I feel strongly in the power of God to unite all his followers. I am much ashamed to say that religion has caused so much bloodshed and slaughter under the pretense of divine cause, but I reply to these fundamentalists, these murderers, these butchers who would so willingly take another's life that God is infinite in his mercy, and God does not command the slaughter of women, children, and innocent men. He does not command conquest or forced conversion. He commands loyalty, and grants forgiveness to the truly apologetic. We must see God in a new light, and less hateful light, if we are to create a unified people. The area of specific focus I wish to see amendments made in is the land of Caanan, where too much blood has already been spilt over religion, too many mistakes have already been made, that it is time we resolved our differences. To the Israeli government, I send this call: Do not dream of a Jewish state, for only totalitarians see their world in black and white. You have become the very Fascist country that systematically killed millions of innocents and defined a hatred for your race, known as Anti-Semitism. There is no such thing in the homeland of the Arabs, where Jew, Christian, and Muslim live side by side as brothers. We are brothers under the same God. But with every difference you sight, with every non-Jewish individual you slaughter, you cast an imaginary line between yourselves and your brothers. I implore you, allow citizenship to your non-Jewish Palestinian brothers, allow them equal rights in working opportunities as you do for your citizens. Make them your equals, as God intended for all mankind to be. And when you do so, over time, the vile hatred will wash away, and our love for each other will return, as it had done after the slaughterings of the Crusades. But you must act fast, and you must be strong, for there will be much slander, much resistance, and you must turn a blind eye to it all, for your cause is higher than your pride. The meek shall inherit the Earth my brothers. To my Palestinian brothers, I ask for your understanding and forgiveness. Know that God looks kindly upon the souls of innocents who have been met with an untimely death. But you must be stronger than your anger and your hatred. The strength of man is measure by the power of his will and self-control, not by his arms. So now I ask both of you simply: throw down your weapons, grant each other equal political and working opportunities under a unified government, and leave time to heal the rest. You, my Israel brothers will find that your atomic weaponry will have no purpose, for when you hold your Arab brethren to your breast, you will find nothing but a love that has, and will survive till kingdom come. God willing, we will one day hold our heads high, and will not lay our heads down fearing that tommorow may never come. My Palestinian and Israeli brethren, you must become as one, God willing. Go with peace.
