Let there be change, and let it start with Israel

The election of Barack Obama as president marks the end of a long nightmare –eight years of civil rights abuses, the invasion of Muslim countries, and botched government responses to natural disasters. By electing Barak Obama, America has finally legitimatized its African-American citizens after a repulsive history of slavery, discrimination and apartheid. I trust president-elect Obama will change America’s foreign policy and restore much needed credibility to the U.S. A good place to start would be the Middle East. One important move that would gain worldwide favorability to the U.S. is if an Obama Administration plays a fair role in the Palestine-Israel conflict. Over the past 60 years, U.S. stanch support of Israel’s military occupation, apartheid and injustices towards the Palestinian people has caused discontent towards the U.S. throughout the world. Let there be change, and let it start with Israel. Yes, we can!
