They are here in this place because, for centuries, nowhere else in the world would accept them. Like us, they are trying to claim a home in a place that they have been distant from for so long. I can honestly say that I do not know what I would do if I were in their position. Considering that, I have to say that I admire Jewish activists far more than Palestinian ones. Palestinian activists are fighting for themselves, but Jewish activists give up so much for a people that isn’t theirs.””<br/><br/> - <em>Palestinian-Israeli on the Jewish people</em>http://godwilling.tumblr.com/post/32100586121http://godwilling.tumblr.com/post/32100586121Sat, 22 Sep 2012 21:11:28 -0700PalestineIsraelJewishactivist<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DoHdO2rwGwE?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>The Horror.
