As an Israeli who has lived abroad most of his life, I can tell you that I have heard different perspectives from the conflict: either pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli. However, its important to mention the fact that the way that the media and the majority of activists have handeled the conflict promotes violence and hatred against each side. So basically I am going to live a list of how we should and shouldn't handle it.

What we SHOULDN'T do:

1. Blame each of the other side completely on the current events. It is important to understand that most of the past and present event have been occcuring in chain, moreover, like if it was a snowball rolling down a hill. Most of the information presented to us in the media can be categorized as half truth due to the fact that the majority of the actions have different perspectives depending on whats more convinient to the political affiliation of the writer or the . Plus, due to the complexity of the conflict you cannot just blame one side.

2. Justify the death of anybody regardless of your political affiliation. This really angers me guys. I cannot understand how do people justify in any way the killing of innocent civilians (as seen in the recent terror attacks towards Israelis and the death of Palestinians in the last Gaza attack). No one deserves to be murdered.

3. Act as if one side's suffering and killing is less than the other side. Like how can you be so indifferent to another person's suffering?

4. Portray just the conflict without also talking about the efforts of both sides to communicate with each other.

What we SHOULD do:

1. Understand the situation. By blaming the other side won't magically solve the problem. If we really want to solve the conflict we should talk about the solutions, not that much about who did what in 1948, 1967, etc...

2. Be pro-humanity. Because everybody is worth equially regardless of their nationality, political affiliation, race, sex or religion (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says so).

3. Remember that on each side, there are families, women, men, and children that have ambitions and dreams in life.

4. Promote a healthy communication and interacion (by social media) between both sides. Actually, there is a Facebook page called 'Israel loves Palestine' were healthy interaction aims to promote peace and hope between both sides. This page actually shows people from both sides helping and treating each other as human beings.

Peace.
