Invest In Belief

Believe strongly in the wrongs and rights

What generations will follow with determination

The truth that sparks the mind

Make the invisible break through

Why has society become so chopped down?

Into a tragic world-where no one stands out?

Challenge yourselves to fight for your wisdom

Let your sentences stand out

Declare and declare

Declare for what you care

Speak your thoughts

Please speak well

With conviction, with courage

All that can be

Belief is worth fighting for

And, it should be important for thee.

Belief is worth fighting for, because first of all, without belief, there wouldn’t be any dreams or set goals. The confidence in dreams will help you work harder with hope, and then turn the fantasies to existence. Soon, you would have reached a higher position, a higher level. Secondly, as said in the picture above, if you do not believe in yourself, chances are that nobody else will either. For example, if you say that you will not be able to accomplish this, nor that, there is no reason for others to have faith in you. Soon or less, they will leave you to find else companions whom they can truly trust-respect is earned by belief. Additionally, belief is a strong tool when you are ‘fighting for’. The strong conviction within you will have effect on others, and soon all will be ready to stand up against the wrong acts, such as freedom, or any other. Some role models are Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. They believed that racism was cruel and wrong, and stood up for the blacks’ rights. Other African Americans thought in the same way, and this led to a boycott. The law was corrected later on; all were equal. These examples show how important belief is a part of our lives. Invest in belief, for it will bring you to a standard where you cannot imagine in your heart and mind. It is all that makes true. Belief is worth fighting for. Fighting for needs belief.

Palestine VS. Israel

An Israeli police officer scuffles with a Palestinian protester

during clashes at the Qalandia checkpoint, near the

West Bank city of Ramallah, on June 5, 2011

'As noon approached, about 100 Palestinians and sympathetic foreign nationals gathered on the main road between the Qalandia refugee camp in the West Bank and the Holy City and prepared to head to the separation barrier and tangle of steel, concrete and loudspeakers that make up the forbidding military checkpoint that Israel has erected to bar the way to Jerusalem. "Our goal? To bring down the wall," says Mohammed Slamyieh, 26, who made the trip from the southern city of Hebron. How? "Hope," he says. "Lots of hope." (Times Magazine)'

From 1948 to present day. Israelis fighting against Palestinians. Killing. Dying. Terror. This has all been happening in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, in the State of Israel. Ever since the founding of Israel, the Palestinians lost their homeland, and the citizens have been living in conflict and war.

Whenever a Palestinian idealist fights against the Israelis, they suffer serious consequences. Some are murdered. Guns are put on children who throw rocks at soldiers seeking revenge for their parents' deaths. Innocent men, suspected of dissidence, are taken from their families. Wives and children have to go on a ride for 6-8 hours just to have a five minute talk to their imprisoned husbands and fathers.

This conflict is a struggle for the citizens of Israel as well. Frustrated and oppressed, terrorists from Palestine are rising, and they bomb Israeli buses, buildings, and homes. For this reason, Israeli children are taught at school that Palestinians are dangerous enemies - and this leads to a new generation continuing the war. How can it be that children are being taught to hate?  For this conflict to be resolved, Israelis must come to realize that Palestinians have a right to their own land too.

Even this minute, this second, people are struggling in fatigue, desperate for hope. Many Palestinians fight. Many die. However, even so, they never give up the fight.  They wish for a better future, one where they are free and living on their own land. The Palestinians believe freedom is worth fighting for. They believe that a homeland is worth fighting for. They will continue to fight for these dreams, and never stop.
