(62,325 posts)and go as they please? Can they get to hospitals without being harassed at checkpoints eg? I have read statements by former Israeli Soldiers who have apologized to Palestinians for the way they treated them, humiliating them every day as they tried to go about their business.
I have seen documentaries on the situation there and those people sure do not look like free people to me. I know in the US we never hear the Palestinian POV, why is that btw? But rather than forcing us to take only the views of Israel, it had the opposite effect. Censorship causes people to become curious about what it is they are not being allowed to see. So people felt a need to go do some research after realizing how one-sided our media here in the US is.
What happened to the Palestinian spokespersons we used to see years ago? I noticed that lack of balance and immediately wondered what it was we were being kept from learning.
