Since last night I talked briefly about Zionism and Israel, I thought this story I came across today would be rather fitting to be posted. The report is about a young Israeli Arab couple, Ahmed Zvidat and Fahina Avrik. The couple, who were residents of the town of Sakhnin, were denied residence in the town of Rakefet, after their plans to build a house in Sakhnin were also denied.
If find it simply funny that so many Israeli's and Jews like Abraham Foxman had conniptions over Jimmy Carter's book and his statements about apartheid, even though Palestine is under a current military occupation and also has lost land that is rightfully theirs. Not to mention the apartheid wall that cuts into Palestinian land and prevents an estimated 250,000 Palestinians from reaching family, their jobs, access to adequate drinking water, jobs to provide for their families and schools so children can get an education. Not to mention the thousands of Palestinian and Arab homes which have been bulldozed by the Israeli government.
Now, I dont not support acts of terrorism, nor do I believe terrorism will end terrorism. But with some of the conditions Palestinians and Arabs have to put up with because of Israel, when they blow themselves up or throw rocks at Israeli military, who can blame them?
