This piece is a response to all the pro-Palestinians protests happening in the West. It is sad to see that there is no differentiation between Hamas and the Palestinian “cause.” There is so much shouting and hatred, and these protests are only creating more division.

I believe in this moment of time, we should all be pro-Palestine and pro-Israel, aiming to build more bridges towards a 2 State Solution, rather than getting more and more polarised. Polarisation and extremism is what actually Hamas wanted to achieve and they succeeded. We need to put an end to  that, and I think (if we really care for the Palestinian people) we do need to stand all together against Hamas and share hope rather than hate.

…but we hope 

for not too long.
