Majed Bamya ambassador for Palestine
It is time for Palestinians to recognize this is all their fault!
If we are peaceful, it is a sign of weakness
If we resort to violence, we are terrorists
If we promote boycott, divestment and sanctions, we are antisemites
If we call for international intervention, we are delusional
If we resort to international courts, we are naive
And if we make any of these choices (or simply because we are Palestinians) we can be killed, maimed, arrested, tortured, punished.
With the very real possibility of being blamed for our own ordeal.
We might be the first nation ever blamed for being dispossessed, displaced, occupied and oppressed.
So it must be our fault!
Can someone tell me what the hell are Palestinians supposed to do to free themselves from their chains?!
Negotiations only work once the occupier has decided to end its occupation, not when it has decided to further entrench its illegitimate and cruel rule.
What can one do when the
only options that the occupation is giving us are subjugation, exile or death!
Is that our fault too?!
