We’re not all terrorists, we’re not “cockroaches,” and we’re certainly not an “invented” people. What you don’t know about Palestinians.

From Dean Obeidallah (Axis of Evil):

 

"Later that night, I relayed that story to my father and asked him: ‘Where is Palestine?’ He paused for a moment as he gathered his thoughts. He then touched his heart and head and responded: ‘In here.’

 

I wonder what my response will be if I have children and one day they ask: ‘Where is Palestine?’ Will I be able to take out a map and simply point it out, like most people do when they are asked about their heritage? Or will my only option be mimicking my late father’s answer? What’s most painful to me is not that those are my two options but that I feel powerless to change which answer I will be able to offer."
