The Time For Peace is NOW

Amid the Arab Spring protests in the Middle East, conflict has spread to Israel and Palestine.  In these times of change, no time is better for these sides to make amends and live at peace.

Both of these groups, Palestinians and Israelis, are proud peoples who stand up for what they believe in.  While this is to be commended, we must also understand that peace in the region does significantly depend on resolution to this conflict.  People are being slaughtered on both sides, and the people do not deserve to be subjugated to such inhumane violence.  

So let both sides lay down arms and make peace.  We do not need or want prolonged conflict after decades of struggle.  Too much blood has already been spilled for one spring.  Let peace reign and the times explode into a wonderful summer, were everyone can live without threat of destruction.
