True Voice

I haven’t been writing in a while. I just lose my words. I am no longer really surprised at the lengths Israel goes to oppress the Palestinians.

An international told me about his time in Al Khalil (Hebron) and some stories from the farmers. I guess Israel sent wild hogs and hyenas into their fields. The hyenas attacked the farmers and their children and the hogs destroyed their crops. The farmers who killed the hogs then cannot eat them because they are Muslim. So they lose all of their crops for food and livelihood to kill an animal they cannot even eat.

After I hear of this from the International, I started hearing about it from a lot of Palestinians. The IOF and Settlers also did this to Makhrour, one of the other only open areas outside of Bethlehem which is now a Zone C area (shared PA and Israel control, AKA Israel free range military zone) .

Excuse me, but Like holy shit what the fuck. Sadly enough, I’m not surprised. Israel’s oppressive ways are more than just the wall and check points but interfere with every aspect of the Palestinians daily life to the core. Wild Pigs guys. Muslims are also not allowed to kill an animal randomly but if they are under attack or for eating and then it must be by the neck. And HYENAS holy cow! This is not just hear say, my friends have seen them with their own eyes before.

But this is ok because all Palestinians are terrorists, right? Even children, farmers, mothers, fathers, youth, grandfathers and everything between. So this is justified, right? By the way, our tax dollar probably helped fund those pigs and hyenas.

Israel turns animals into weapons and children into terrorists.

Another update:

 My friend Moussa was shot in the face by a rubber coated steal bullet. His entire cheek collapsed and he had to have surgery to reconstruct it. He is a Youth Leader at The Lagee Center in Aida and was filming the demonstration out the door of the center when he was shot. He will be fine, his face may be permanently scarred and never look the same again, but at least it wasn’t a dum-dum bullet.

Also, my friend Mohamad who was arrested got out of jail two weeks ago. I guess they treated him pretty well this time and only kept him for 18 days, last time it was two years. They even gave the prisoners a mandatory reading hour! What a nice oppressor. We still do not know why he was arrested. I am just glad they let him go, but Moussa’s brother is still in prison for who knows for how long. Maybe a couple years and we definitely do not know why he is in prison and we can be most positive he is being tortured for information.

Oh Israel. How does it feel to live a comfy life where you have everything you need and your biggest threat is yourself?
