I’ve been living in Jerusalem since January of this year. I’m not Jewish. I’m not Muslim. I’m just an observer of both societies. I’m aware that there are blankets of people sprawled over the streets of London, Paris, Los Angeles and other western cities protesting Israel’s actions. I haven’t been to Gaza. The closest I’ve been during the war is the several trips I’ve made to the border between Gaza and Israel. I’ve heard the story from both sides, but have only seen the story from one side. To me, seeing, talking and feeling are the only ways of knowing. So with that said, I am going to tell you a story based on what I know, what I have seen, who I’ve talked to and what I have felt.
