Quote from Gideon Levy:
"The Palestinians, who cannot travel from one village to another without permission from Israel, who have no basic human rights and who have been trampled underfoot, humiliated and imprisoned without any sign of sovereignty, are already living as a free people in their country. If the defense minister really thinks so, then there is grave cause for concern: Mr. Security is deranged and has lost touch with reality. If he doesn`t think so, then he`s messing with us. Which is worse? "
Messing with us is worse. And there is grave cause for concern because not only he has been messing with us.
We have been being messed with for years by successive governments and army spokesmen but now there is a government in place that can also cause national TV and radio to mess with us. It will eventually make decent journalists choose between messing with us or leaving - if that is not already the case. |
