❝Random Quotes❞
The Israeli leadership and the Israeli public didn’t think about the occupation, didn’t talk about Palestinians. . . I mean, they blockaded a place that is one of the most densely populated places in the world for almost 20 years. . . And now that everybody understands that they do exist and that it is back on the table, then they are very, very vengeful. ― Merav Zonshine, Israeli journalist and commentator in Israel’s Reel Extremism, Jun 18, 2024
