IMPARTIALLY please. I genuinely want to know.

I looked on various websites after I came across a picture or Rachel Corrie. I wanted to know why there had been a bulldozer in Palestine and why she was there in the first place. So I looked on Wikipedia and then followed a link to about how the bulldozer was there to destroy the home of a Palestinian pharmacist, his wife and three children. Now, I may be naive, (I’m just a kid) but is I think it is a bit stupid that people today are dying because of cultural and political friction.

Could someone please explain to me why there is so much tension, why there is so much violence and why there is so much death? And why innocent people who have personally never done anything wrong are suffering?

It sounds silly that people are suffering by the hands of other people. Regardless of reason. Because we decide based upon WW1, WW2, the holocaust, genocide in Rwanda and other places, and 911 – that killing people is bad and we should not do it.

I stopped in Syria for 2 days on a family holiday when a flight was delayed, and was really upset when a family friend showing us the sights told us that the children on the sides of the roads with infants were refugees from Lebanon. They were about my age. Why don’t people see that these wars destroy peoples lives and stop them?

Thank you in advance for your respectful answers.
