You know what I mean?

Like, wow.

And I try to take notes like, mom, please tell that story, like in my shows.

Just waiting.

Waiting.

And when I saw them with this silly eyes.

It's so hard to laugh, even in this situation.

Yo, yo, yo!

Let me explain you that because on the cheek point, these hats are for the workers who work inside.

So they buy them to protect them from the sun.

We looked at them and it's like, they're not just for this construction work.

They can be cool.

Can we have five, please?

Because we needed to look, we're not from the West Bank, from Jenin.

So that's why I wanted to wear shorts, sunglasses as a tourist coming to Haifa or going to Jerusalem.

It is special also for me on a personal level because mainly I'm telling my personal story since being a child, including seeing the statue of a horse that was built in Jenin in 2003.

And 20 years later, two years ago, the army with the D9 bulldozer, they ripped out the horse from the roundabout.

It's a very hard image to see as someone who's been living in Jenin and seeing that horse every day and meeting everyone under that horse.

Because it's not just a statue of a horse because the statue itself was built

from the demolished, destroyed houses, ambulances, and cars.
