Suppose, just suppose.......you live in a house that belonged to your father and before that it belonged to his father, and before that it belonged to his father and before that....well for generations the house has belonged to your family. It's not a fancy house, but it's comfortable and it's yours, your family's for generations.
You never thought you would be uncomfortable, afraid in this house....you can hardly believe it, but you are! You worry about your wife and children, your parents....all of them! You worry about their safety. It's so hard to believe....someone, some people, want your house....they've said, no, threatened, they will take it from you...they live near by...have guns, have their own guards....life was never like this before. Never has there been trouble, harsh words or threats...it's been a quiet neighborhood....it has been for generations.
And now for the first time in this house there is fear....horrible fear.
Most of us feel safe and secure in our house.....It's difficult to imagine someone deciding they want it....trying to force you to move ....successfully driving you out....assuming residence in your house...what's even more unbelievable is they receive police protection while they drive you out....while they take over your house and move in....they will continue to have armed protection....Is that to keep you from returning?
How can this happen?..happen in a democracy...the only democracy in the middle east?.. But it's happening!.
It is happening in Israel....where Palestinians are not part of Israel's "democracy."
Suppose this happened to you? Just suppose....it's something to think about.
