Being Merry
We are being isolated, seperated not only from the rest of the
world but also from the other Palestinians. By the closures, the
curfews and now by the wall they are building.
If you have the energy to go and bomb yourself, this means you
have no life at all. It’s really simple, just stop the occupation,
and you will stop all this, but they want to stop us from struggling
and continue with the occupation. They are taking the lands, the
lifes, everything, and then they want us to be calm, really how?

There was a nice article once in the newspaper about
the suicide bomber. He passionately believes that by ending his life,
he is building a new life for the others. And this is true, because
he’s trying to remove the occupation for the others to live
peacefully. That’s why he’s going to bomb himself. He’s
giving his life for the others.
And besides the stones, what else do we have to struggle with?
How can I bring something that is so deep inside of
me just to the surface? what can I do in front of the camera, so that
you would understand what our life is like? Maybe the things that
I don’t show tell most about me.
It’s like looking through a microscope: you really have to know
a lot before you can see what’s really there. It’s me
telling our story, but I always wonder whether people who hear it
really know what I’m talking about.
