Through the book of “Jerusalem: One city and three religions”, I understand the birth of the holy city. It has been built with a great number of groups. They are Jews, Muslim, Christian and so on. However, it is history of Jerusalem. We couldn’t do anything about history. Therefore, why do we want to learn about it? There is an old saying in China, “When you use bronze as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes and hat. When you use antiquity a a mirror, you can see the waxing and waning.” This is to say that learning history can help us to solve today’s problem. What kind of problem we have today? It is conflict between Israel and Palestine. I have been shocked by the article “A Brief History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict“, I feel sympathy about Jews who have been forced to leave the place they came from. However, I can’t agree with the behavior that they occupy Palestinians’ territory, and then removing Palestinians from their territory. It is not a right thing from my perspective, and I want to say it is robbery. For example, if someone suddenly comes to your house, and kicks your out without saying a word, what is kind of a feeling you would have? I would absolutely feel angry and mad if it was me. However, if it is about house problem, I may still find a police office, and ask for help. How about Palestinian? They don’t have place to help them. Firstly, They lost their country. Secondly, United Nation supported to separate their territory to become two countries. It was their house, their place and their hometown, but now according to the resolution 181, they need to give away, and move to another place which they have no idea. How desperate they are? I would never know about the feeling, but I really feel sad about this. Moreover, in the following situation, they even couldn’t have a place to stay in their territory. They become refugees. What is mean to be a refugee? It means that they can’t have everything we have it right now, such as education or having fun. I can’t say anymore, because it is so emotional related.
Nevertheless, this is not to say that I support every action that Palestinian do for their territory. These revenges are cruel and inhumanity, because people who now live on their territory are also people just like them. This is why I believe that to build a stable authority helping people living in a happy is the most important thing now. The stable authority could be Israel government or Palestine government, however, one basic rule for this government is forbidden removing different religion people out of its territory. They should learn to live in the same place happily, while sometimes I think my idea is too naive for people living in that environment. The reason is that I would not have a chance to suffer the pain as they do.
In the end, I just want to say that happiness is never from revenge.
