Occupation 101 - Voices of the Silenced Majority
“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is
simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if
I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948
when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were
ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing
ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The
Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists,
will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but
feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a
territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their
ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn
it back.”
