Perhaps standing next to those two book shelves in the study would be a good place. No windows near and perhaps the bombs won't find me there. Only children hide under beds, and as a child in the 1967 War, I hid under the bed. 10 Palestinians were killed by Israeli army gunfire this last Friday, then five were killed on Saturday, then four on Sunday, and I don't remember how many on Monday, and the number is 3 so far today. If you live under occupation in Palestine, it means that anything can happen.
Today can be the very last day of our lives.
This is the persisting thought on everyone's mind. Yesterday afternoon, I went with some Swedish journalists to Beit Jala to look at the homes that Israeli tanks had shelled the night before. As we stood out on the street and it started to rain, Mia urged me to seek shelter from the rain. But it is nice to feel the rain on my face. This could be the last time that I stand in the rain.
