What I actually do when my "backyard is burning" and what I should do are two different things. What I do is try to take care of the problem myself with whatever means necessary, as long as I'm fixing it myself. I don't want to get other people involved, not because I'm being selfless but because I'm stubborn and embarrassed. What I should do is ask for help. This is the better solution for my problems. I really do not know whether this is true or not for the Israel-Palestine issue because I'm not educated enough to say, but I do know that this is what happens in my life.
Its very comforting to know that there are Israelis who are trying to help the Palestinians because I dont think people realize how serious the situation is with whats happening to the Palestinians.
