    a very complex situation politically, economical, and militarily in that region

    Ta-Nehisi Coates on his visit to Israel and Palestine - “There’s a word that come up all the time and it’s ‘complexity’ and it’s closely related adjective ‘complicated’… I assumed it would be hard to descern right from wrong to understand the morality at play [and the conflict]. But perhaps the most shocking thing was that I immediately understood.”

      I recall watching a journalist ask some kids where they’re from and they said Palestine, then they got visibly scared as a member of the IOF calls them over. He yelled at them and said there is no Palestine, that it’s Israel. Back home you had to teach kids to be wary of cops, in occupied Palestine the children inevitably find out on their own.
