Rooted in Israel

This is a Palestinian taking a rubber bullet from an Israeli in 1998. There is a remote chance I am squatting in this man's ancestral home.
It's always a mistake to run from the invader.
I don't get comments on this site, which is Okay by me. On other sites I do, and I find this one interesting.

"oh, is there a “first-rate human beings” and a “second-rate”? I didn’t know that kind of classification. It seems that you are used to it in Israel!
Well, you didn’t threaten to put the Palestinians into the sea, but you did spoil their land and put them in refugees camps, in prisons and is a 60-years-custody without rights. You want them to admit what you call “the right of Israel to exist”, but in fact, you like them to admit the “divine right” of Israel to colonize. You are the first theocratic, religious and fanatic state in the whole region, believing that divine “promises” are superior than “human rights” of the “Others”. You, actually, started mixing State and religion in a region that was, at the time, secular. Don’t bull-shit us, we know the history. The same history that teaches us that colonization is part of the past and that it won’t be accepted nor tolerated, especially in that specific region. Military power cannot resist history, it’s just a matter of time!!"
