The ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict brings new stories of death and devastation every day. Here’s a proposal and a brave offer from a Jewish-American TYT viewer that has the potential to end the violence.

“I was watching the episode today about the Holocaust survivor Gabor Mate’ and in it Cenk made the observation that a Palestinian child is no different than an Israeli child, other than the labels that we place on them, and the loss of any child or innocent human being for that matter, is a horrible tragedy. He also brought up the fact that Israeli’s don’t see it that way, and that if we placed 10,000 Jews sporadically around the country in civilian areas that it is almost guaranteed that the ludicrous and completely erratic bombing would likely cease.

I have a job, a house, a dog, etc. and live in relative comfort. It is unfathomable to even imagine that right now, at this moment, somewhere in the world as I sit in my air conditioned home full of food, with no fear of harm whatsoever, that there are children, devoid of any involvement to provoke this attack, living in constant fear of death and dismemberment from, mostly, American made weapons. Their only crime was being born in a prison/war zone with no chance of escape.

I cannot sit here like this, safe and happy while a travesty like this happens any longer. I have to do something.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
