Yet what gives momentum to Palestinians is the conviction in the righteousness of their cause, their yearning to that lost paradise called Palestine, and their belief in the human values of freedom, justice, and dignity for all. As opposed to the Palestinian stance there is the Occupation, which is an illogical concept, therefore all its components are illogical as well. Palestinians in the Bethlehem area can be deprived from water during the summer, because it is diverted to swimming pools in the settlements. The life of Palestinians in Hebron is turned into a nightmare because of 400 settlers. The oppressor s propaganda implies that in order to have peace, Israelis do not have to end the Occupation but instead Palestinians must give up their claims to freedom.
History has a unique characteristic.
It does not accommodate anyone. The time will come and the world will feel the shame and guilt caused by having abandoned Palestinians while they were demanding freedom. Some will claim they did not know, but that will not relieve them from the responsibility.
