A few weeks ago, Americans woke up to the heartbreaking news of the shooting at a Latino nightclub in Orlando. 49 innocent people were murdered.
This year is the 15th anniversary of 9/11. Sadly, the news of terrorist attacks have become an everyday part of our lives since then. We are too used to turning on the evening news or opening the newspaper and reading about the murder of innocent people simply because of who they are.
Earlier this week, Hallel Yaffa Ariel, a 13-year-old American girl living in Kiryat Arba was murdered in her bed as she slept. The boy who took her life was a 17-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammed Tarayreh from Bani Naim, a nearby village. This child did nothing to this boy, her only crime was being a Jew in Israel.
Adding to the death toll was the attack at the airport in Istanbul. 36 people were killed and 147 were injured.
Why do we do this? Is it possible to simply accept that some of us are different and that’s ok? Last time I checked, hate never solved any problems. It just creates more problems.
Enough already.

I agree, we have had a lot of travesties recently, I’ve gotten numb to it. The Orlando massacre happened 5 minutes from my house. I drove by the other day, and then it became real. So sad.
