A kid in my class

Back home I have a Palestinian kid in my class and we have had multiple conversations about Israel. Sadly I've never been able to give him a real reason on why Israel acts the way it does. He talked to me about how just because his last name was Muslim he got pulled aside at the Israeli airport. I wasn't able to give him a good reason on why that happened. But now I know why, if you have the last name of a religion that has people attacking their own of course their going to stop them. Even if its unfair Israel can't take chances. He also told me that he doesn't believe that Israel is going to last and I said I agree with him. I'm so disappointed in myself that I said that. I now know and have experienced that Israel is here to stay. I don't care what anyone has to say, Israel has a right to be here and will be here. No ones going to take this place away from us. We have worked to hard for this place and if we have to will fight for it. always.
