Over 2,000 Palestinian Children Killed Since Outbreak of Second Intifada
The psychological instigation is worse. Trying to disrupt the collective identity of the Palestinians , the mutilation of the developmental milestone of the psyche with humiliation, the detainment of young Palestine children, watching your ancestral home being smashed to the ground for Jewish settlements to seep in, the censorship of right of speech, the inhibition of basic right to movement etc.

We must not permit this Israeli government to blame anyone but itself for the hatred and violence which it spawns among Palestinians. Google doesn’t cause murder. Israel does.

Last week a friend of mine was excited to celebrate “The Independence Day of Palestine” in Ramallah as the central and official celebration happens yearly. I felt indifferent and didn’t join the some who even mocked him. At the day of Independence Nov.15th he went early and came late exhausted:
-“How was it?” asking, almost knowing how it felt like when you walk a long way with a big hope and come back with nothing.
-“It was OK, but the zionist bastards spoiled it.” he replied dejected.
-“Why? How?”
