I HAVE been in the Middle East for the last five years. I don't know much about the history of the Palestine people but I've heard or read about, and watched their lives through the media. And, now, the latest incident in Gaza. It is a shame. It only shows there will be no peace in the near future. Everybody wants to be a leader, and nobody wants to be a follower. You can throw stones at your enemy but you can be easily hit by a bullet by your own people who are supposed to be defending you from your enemy. Until now, you don't have your own nationality, though you all call yourselves Palestinians. "Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change himself".

I hope Palestinians will keep on fighting for what's right, that will lead to peace, instead of sending their young generations into conflicts without knowing what they're fighting for.
