Okay,l formeas a Muslim, theHolyLandit's whyit's soimportant, firstofallbecause I wasbornhere.
Thefactthatwecamebacktoourhomelandandthatwedohave a countryand a governmenthereformelikeitdoesfeellike a miracle.
But I alsothinkthatthefactthatwedohavethepowernowgivesusmoreresponsibilityandthatwecan't justbaseitonthefactthatit's ourhomelandandnothearothervoicessayingwefeelthesameaboutthesameplace.
[I oftenquestionmyplaceinthisconflict.]
Allthetimerequestsifit's moredialogue, moreforce, moreconversations, moresocialmedia, I alwaysaskmyself, "Whatisthebestthing?" I tendtobelievethatthebestthingishumaninteraction.
A lotoftimes I take a stepbackfromlikethepoliticalargumentabouttheconflictandallofthatjustbecause I feellikeunworthyandthat I don't knowenough.
Somyway, I'vealwaysknownwhat I what I aminthisconflict, I alwaysknew I wantedtofightforpeace. That's all I knewandthat's all I willeverknow.
I neverwasintheideaofthisconflictuntilmyfatherpassedaway. Andthen I hadtothinkformyself.
I alwayswasaskingmyfatherwhy I wasborn.
Andhisanswer, nottokill, tolive, tobeinlife.
Andwhenmysistershegotkilled, I wentbacktohim.

Well, I learnedfromyouthatyouhave a lotofsympathyforoursideaswelleventhoughyoursisterpassedaway, whichisterrible. Shedidn't passaway, shewasmurdered.
