Imagine if your own home were engulfed in flames, with your loved ones inside. In such a dire situation, the priority would unquestionably be to rescue those in immediate danger, not to debate the causes of the fire or speculate about what might happen next.
I extend an invitation for a dialogue—a sit-down conversation—to shed light on the often-overlooked plight of the voiceless Palestinians. Through an exploration of history and a willingness to listen to diverse perspectives, we can work towards a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of this complex issue.
