    The perspective of an insider

    I came across this article today and I think it is always useful to hear the voices of those that live the situation of oppression themselves.

    Thank you for sharing this piece, Rina. It's often true that when people from another country examine a foreign conflict, we reduce it to the facts: numbers (of people killed, of people living in settlements) and facts in addition to judgments. We need to understand that actual people are being affected on a day to day basis by decisions and policies of the past and present when developing resolutions and policies for the future.

    Yes, and i also think that unless you talk to people from both sides, you cant really have a well-constructed opinion
