Different points of view
Who were here first? Who did what to whom? The land was taken by “Arabs”, but Arabs have also been murdered throughout the course of history, as well as land being taken by “Jewish”. The territory is now occupied by Israel, but according to the Oslo Accords it is to befall the Palestinians. Who’s property is it?
Security or scary? Soldiers overtaking a playground where Palestinian children are playing, to protect settlers on a scenic tour through the historical Hebron.
Friends or enemies? Dangerous or fun? Israeli soldiers playing football together with Palestinian children. Each others adversaries or neighbors?
