Today I read an article about an opinion that is not usually expressed in today's world. It was about a Muslim doctor expressing her positive thoughts on Israel. She said that, if it were not for Israel, she would not have had a chance to be where she is today. Of course, then the author's Jewish mother stated that she wanted to live in an exclusively Jewish community, saying that would make her feel safer. If you look at most mainstream news sources reporting of the Israeli-Palestine conflict, you will find that almost all of them (excluding FOX news) are anti-Israel. Yet here is a member of the Muslim side of the conflict stating that Israel is great and gave her all this opportunity. Sometimes it feels like (and this applies to every single news outlet) the news is just reporting exactly what it wants us to hear. In today's world, it is hard to know who is telling the truth and who is lying, and often people get very caught up in the cloud of confusion. It is important for us to remember to look into every single possible angle in a conflict and not just assume something to be true if we hear it.
