I was checking out some other blogs and I just read this site from two men who live in Gaza; they had some pretty disturbing stories to tell. Anyway some of the comments on the site were so awful and arrogant that I wanted to comment on them - this is what I wrote:

Thank you so much for your brave and sincere blog. All people under siege are worthy of our love and sympathy, be they Palestinian or Israeli. Reading your blog from here in Australia I can't help but cringe at the comments made by some people, not offered in peace but in judgement. How can people expect the people from either nation to have any say, or control over their governments - do you in the US have access to or control of George Bush? I can tell you I live in a peaceful country, Australia and we had millions of people march against our involvement in the Iraq war - our government did not heed the masses - The indigenous people of Australia live in conditions that many people would not believe they are so poor and mistreated - when hordes of people in every city in Australia marched for reconciliation our government did not heed us. Again I ask how can Palestinians approach the Hammas or Israelis their own government - we are at the mercy of our governments all over the world, what rules them is money and hatred and maintaining division - let's look at each other as people with the same feelings and thoughts and think the best of our neighbours and not the worst. Try not to judge - as so many of you have done here, but to love!
