| Sometimes
I feel I can just burst, sometimes I'm just depressed, sometimes
It's too sad and I play with ideas of being Prime minister and stopping
the shit. I can imagine what the people where this tank is heading
to feel right now. Can they imagine my constant fear when passing
near a bus or a crowded street? Today more than 2000 Israelis demonstrated
near Jenin, against the occupation and the military violence. In
the evening hundreds demonstrated in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, demanding
the government to withdraw the army immediately from the territories.
I was very happy for these demonstrations. Will we ever see 20 Palestinians
demonstrate against the suicide bombs? why do I feel double morality
when hearing about thousands demonstrating all over Europe against
Israel and not demonstrating as well against the policy of using
terror as a diplomatic means? Will one of the many leaders here
ever call for complete "non violence"? not only denouncing
one side's violence, and by that supporting the other side's violence,
which is supporting any kind of violence.
And what is the place of art
and artists in this situation? In a region rulled by army generals
and religion authorities? Where art is conceived superior only to
begging? Should we take charge and try play their dirty games or
stand on the side and shout louder?
