Unlike their Palestinian counterparts, they don't have to fear army harassment, checkpoints, water shortages, their children being shot dead for throwing rocks at soldiers who are storming their village, house demolitions, land confiscations and other facts of life of the occupation that Palestinians face.
I do not wish these things upon them. I want the Palestinian people to have the same rights and freedom that they do.
Without justice for all, there will not be peace for anyone.

I accidentally left without paying for the food he was making, and raced back to pay. He laughed and told me not to worry, it is on the house. He only took the money after I insisted.
