    Rafie, I'm not Palestinian, I'm circassian. We're from south Russia and the Caucasus mountains. We actually have 2 villages of my people in Israel, kofer khaman and reihania (spelled horribly I know). They serve in the idf to because they aren't Arabs. I, like others on here, have been following this conflict/occupation for years and years. I think the time has come to stop this madness. I dnt give a shit if anyone's Muslim, Christian or Jew. We are all humans first. To accept this slaughter as humans is sickening. And I'm hopeful with seeing the people of Israel starting to say enough that it WILL stop. Because if they don't, THERE WONT BE A GAZA left.

    Thank you for finally taking me seriously. The part I bolded sums it up perfectly as far as I am concerned.
    I am actually a neighbor of your people. I live in a town called Kfar Tavor which is around a 5 minute drive from Kfar khama. The grocery store in our town is run by circassians.Our kids go to school together with their kids starting from 7th grade. Do you have any family living here?


    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

    Rafie, I have friends in those villages but no family. But as small of a group as we are, maybe somehow we are related lol. Tavor ey, ya my cousin told me about that village. You got a hill called mt tavor and has a Christian montasary up there? My cousin wrote the name of his band on a rock up there. Look for a "students of life" tag on a rock up there lol

    My house overlooks the mountain. Next time I am up there I will look for it :))

    Glad we can have a civil human moment despite our different outlooks on things. If you ever decide to visit your friends, you are welcome to come visit me too :-).

    if it doesnt start like this, and have the room to grow , then there is no hope at all. for anyone. BLOW IT ALL UP. Just NUKE IT and leave the rest for the cockroaches.

    If you ever get to take that pic and can post it here I think we'd all get a kick out of it!

    Well done, guys.

    And rafie, I'm glad for u and your family that you didn't have to fulfill your obligation. I can't imagine how ANY family can go thru this, wether they're dodging bombs or being sent in to a place they don't want to go into. Pulling the trigger they don't want to pull, run through alleys praying to make it to the other side. Closing your eyes to sleep not knowing if you'll ever wake up. Such a tragedy and shame. Again, awesome your home and don't have to be a part of this physically. My cousin said all the circassians go up to mt tavor and get shit faced. Go up there and tell them a circassian in America told you to go and have a shot (of alcohol!) for him (me) with them.
