Dear Dr. Elfarra,
Please accept my condolences for the passing of your mother and the occupation that kept you from her in her last moments. It is easy to understand how you would be embittered by your experience. I hope you can find it in yourself to overcome this and work for peace despite your personal loss.
As you stated, the world is united in seeking a solution that will allow the Palestinians and Israelis to live together in peace and lift the Palestinians out of their desperate situation. However, neither the US nor the rest of the world is in solidarity with the Palestinian dream of re-taking all of Israel (aka Right of Return)...if you got this impression in the U.S. you were limiting your interaction to a very small minority that holds that perspective.
I hope you will join the world and seek peace rather than continue the violence and destruction that keeps the Palestinian people impoverished and occupied. Surely as an educated person, you must realize that the Israelis will not walk away from the Israeli mainland that they consider "theirs" as much as you consider it "yours". For one thing, they have nowhere else to go.
In fact, regardless of the assertions of extremist religious fanatics (on both sides), Palestinians have no more divine right to the land than Jews do. Arabs, Persians, Jews, Kurds, and other Middle Easterners have fought over land for millennia. Arabs lost the land that is currently Israel nearly 60 years ago...this is the reality on the ground that must be faced as other groups have had to deal with tremendous loss of land to Arab conquerers (ask the Kurds).
So long as both parties prefer to spend their resources making each other miserable (firing rockets/building walls), rather than building their economies and educating their people, the situation will remain tragic.
No matter how good righteous indignation feels, it only leads you down a path to destruction. I implore you to consider your patients, your people, and common sense and turn your rhetoric from inflammatory slogans to open discussion seeking a peaceful solution where all of the residents of Israel/Palestine can co-exist.
Peace, blessings, and logic,
Dave
