in the middle of the town
and its backyards, they built a wall. marking a line of
plunder, of deportation. sold to the public as security.
the security in forbidding a grocer from getting to his
store, and children to school, and to visit the
grandmother or the neighbor or receiving dialysis in the
hospital. they took a life and decided that one side is
entitled, innocent, and the other isn't. the nine meters
high concrete wall, in the middle of abu dis, does not
separate palestinians from israelis, but between
palestinians and themselves. distancing palestinians
from each other, from east jerusalem, and locking others
in it. |
