“Palestinian lives are usually mentioned by numbers, 48 dead, 1,200 injured, not names, but numbers,” he continues. “And, this shows how we divide our compassion. Because Palestinians are also burned alive. Palestinian villages also experience pogroms (violent attacks on certain groups, ed.) carried out by Israel.”
“Palestinian children are tortured, imprisoned for years. Without charge or help, and this has been happening generation after generation for more than 75 years. And perhaps we have become immune to it. I wonder, will it ever end? I’m talking about the blind support for a system of apartheid and ethnic cleansing that is obvious to me.”
