This REALLY sucks. My family has worked for decades to try and attain peace over there. This doesn't look like forward progress. Peace will never exist there anyway, the US spends over $3 billion each year in direct military support of the Israelis which makes up more than 25% of the US's gross foreign export. No one is stopping the Israelis from taking land that doesn't belong to them, slaughtering innocent women and children, and assasinating Palesinians in other countries, for doing things as simple as writing a book. As long as the US backs Israel, and the rest of the world turns the other cheek, the entire Middle East will be in a state of unrest.
