On Palestinian Shoes

President Barack Obama urged Israelis to consider the view from the other side, basically saying:


Put yourself in Palestinian shoes


 But the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and justice must also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes – look at the world through their eyes
Mr. Obama, look what Palestinian shoes do, to you and to us:








No, thank you.

We've seen too many "shoes".

This is not justice nor a demand for self-determination.

This is an expression of deep-seated animosity.

We have been the targets of too many "Palestinian shoes"

Too many knives.

Too many stones.

Too many suicide bombers.

Too much violence.

Too much terror.

Too much denial.

Too much incitement.

Much too much of all this and more.

We will not permit "Palestinian shoes" to walk over us, literally and figuratively.

Like America, "Palestinian shoes" will not tread on us any more.
