Personally, I think that the middle east problem is way out of hand! Having lived through apartheid with all its lies, deception, racial hatred and hurt and now being able to have friends from whatever race- this is what really matters…respect everyone’s point of view even if you don’t agree with it. Respect, forgiveness and an attitude of moving forward to build a better nation and world is what really is important. Put differences aside and get to know other people who are different to you. Who cares if they don’t agree with your point of view – it’s different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
