This Is What Palestinians Do:
They wait, and wait, and wait, and wait…
“The quintessential Palestinian experience,” historian Rashid Khalidi has written, “takes place at a border, an airport, a checkpoint: in short, at any one of those many modern barriers where identities are checked and verified.”
“In this place”, adds Robyn Creswell, “connection” turns out to be only another word for separation or quarantine: the loop of airports never ends, like Borges’s famous library. The cruelty of the Palestinian situation is that these purgatories are in no way extraordinary but rather the backdrop of daily existence.”
Get a taste of what Palestinians go through when traveling, how they’re split apart, how they’re denied entry to SO MANY countries -including Arab countries-, yeah that should make all Arabs proud, how they’re investigated, how they wait and wait, and then wait a little more.
It doesn’t matter if they’re sick, old, or with babies, Palestinians MUST WAIT, without being given answers or explanations or anything, because that’s what Palestinians are expected to do: wait without arguing, or asking any questions; wait and just deal with all that stupidity and injustice and racism, yes racism, and dare any moron tell me otherwise, or so help me God…!
