                                           Rather Than Despair at Awfulness Of It All: By David Horvitz
In David Horvitz's article " Rather Than Despair at Awfulness Of It All," he details the stabbings of two Israeli women ; Dafna Meir and Shlomit Krigman, one women only twenty four and the other in her late thirties and a mother. Both were promising caring women, who worked incredibly hard in life. Horvitz very quickly gets to his main point by saying one thing , the killing must stop it is getting not only Israelis killed by getting Palestinians killed by them being responsible for these stabbings.  He begins to also propose solutions and the problems with what we are doing with the situation currently. He says we need to stop , "  the lying and the brainwashing, the abuse of religion, the distortion of history that has produced yet another Palestinian generation deaf to the notion of Jewish legitimacy in the Holy Land." He gives suggestions that international schools should start giving more funding to things that help merge and educate understanding of Palestinians and Israelis, we need to find some way to to teach the legitimacy of the Jewish people in Israel. Instead of constantly fighting find some way to educate people on these conflicts and how to solve them, including the people living in Israel. Overall Horvitz wants people to know one thing and one thing only , the violence is not solving anything or getting us any further.
