I admire Israel, because despite the constant persecution for millennia, first as people and then a nation, they built something great. They didn’t succumb to a victim mentality. They create and innovate against all odds. Palestinians could be great too…they could focus on education, economic prosperity but instead their leaders have chosen to use its resources for terror, use the victim mentality for propaganda, and raise their children to hate Israel instead of loving themselves and loving their lives. I grieve for Palestinian children. Not just for their current suffering, but because their leaders are robbing them of a future even if they survive.
