And then people wonder why the hell do some people bomb themselves just to kill a few other people. If Palestinians are denied the simplest rights such as the right to play football, can we expect them to love the tyrant who on the top of everything else deprived them from playing football?
This is not about a stupid football game, this is about depriving a nation from the little joy and pride they get from representing their country in international sports events. Add this to the endless list of Israel’s human rights violations, from genocide to home demolitions, assassination of freely elected political figures and violating children’s rights. And we still ask why would someone ever become a suicide bomber? hunger, absence of water and electricity, terrorizing sonic bombs, using people as human shields, murder, jail, torture…some prefer to die than live such a life.
This tumour called Israel will never heal if it continues to be an occupier.
Israeli travel restriction against Palestinians are no news, not only within Palestine, but also in and out of Palestine. Those who are traveling to represent Palestine in various cultural events are especially targeted with such restrictions as part of Israel’s efforts to deny and abolish Palestinian identity [More]
You better believe if another country was building in my backyard and calling it theirs, witholding food, imprisoning and killing my relatives and demilishing my home and that of my neighbors I definitely would feel that desperate times call for desperate measures. So would all Americans. If the American Congress waasn’t bought by the AIPAC, then I think it would be easier for Americans to see and take action on. Not that the US is critical to the situation, but as long as the US is supporting Israel militarily and otherwise, the conflict will continue to rage. I don’t know what it will take to free us from that.
