Palestinian American community in NJ reacts to tentative ceasefire in Gaza

[@HiIThinkImReal]

What is a “Palestinian American”? Do we live under the unity of the American ideal, or are we segmented by our immutable characteristics? The United States is a nation, not a recreation center or a gym. It means something to be an _American._ It is not just a condition that can be met by standing on this soil.

A Palestinian American is a person who is either partially or fully of Palestinian descent and is a citizen of the United States. Hope that helps.

Gaza is bombed out. It is horrific, but can you acknowledge that this happened because the elected government (Hamas) in Gaza committed a act of war against Isreal? Can we also acknowledge that had the elected Hamas people gave back the kidnapped Israeli and American citizens this could have ended sooner? Again I will say it's absolutely horrific seeing the footage and suffering in Gaza, but until the people in Gaza see and acknowledge their GOVERNMENTS roll and blame in this war nothing will change. Israel had/has the right to respond to to the barbaric attack. It's not like it was committed by a few random guys from Gaza. It was done and PUBLICALLY, PROUDLY and CLAIMED by HAMAS. HAMAS is the governing body of Gaza. If the Gazan people don't agree with the acts of their governing body, they are the only ones who can change that. What has happened to the civilian population of Gaza is terrible and most of the whole world has cried at the horrors of the war-torn area.
