American Narcissism and Palestinian Injustice

It is being asserted that we as Americans have become too narcissistic that we don't care about the pain and suffering of others. We only care about our own self interests.

I cannot allow myself to believe that. 

Humans are good. Humans care. 

Some humans are just temporarily asleep by distractions. 

Yes, silence is acceptance. 

But already there are a lot of people breaking their silence.

I personally have received messages from friends (some who have even surprised me) who tell me they are starting to open their eyes, look at different perspectives, and make their own decisions instead of agreeing with the status quo our government wants us to believe.

This isn't a Muslim thing. This isn't a Jewish thing. This isn't a Christian thing.

This isn't even a believer versus non-believer thing.

This is a Human thing.

We as humans genuinely care about each other, and when we see another human in pain, we will do what is in our power to help.

If you have been silent, break your silence.

Let your voice be heard!

Don't be a part of the cause for the suffering. Become a part of the solution to end the suffering
