The violence which began at the Intifida continues all the way until present day. In this instance, a 2-year-old Jewish child was killed by a Palestinian. Because of this, Israel Defense Forces placed an area of Palestinians under a curfew.
Many Jews and Palestinians have been killed throughout this constant battle. It is caused by something very simple, somebody’s religious beliefs. In this area, 500 Jewish settlers live in an area with 130,000 Palestinians. Why would these people live here, it’s because of their religion. The West Bank is the most important area to Jews and also to the Palestinians. The Gaza Strip is another important are in which many people die because of its religious importance.
This 2-year-old wasn’t shot in a battle ground, she was killed in a playground playing with her father. What is even worse about this is it wasn’t a gun man opening fire, it was a sniper purposely taking aim at the young girl, shooting her twice in the head.
It is unnerving to me that a young child’s life be taking in any form of violence, but especially by a sniper. It made me rather upset to think that this girl was playing and enjoying herself while someone was getting their target and placing two rounds in the young girl’s head. These people are fighting over their differences in religion. Their God would have never wanted any fighting like this. Why can these people with the same God coexist like people in our country? This question is the one that is constantly ringing in my head after reading this. I also believe strongly that if any blood should be shed, it should be shed on a battlefield, not on a playground.[/b]
