Of course, and I don't condone that.
I don't condone that.
I would never justify that.
But at the same time, this condemning our resistance without looking at the root cause of that, you're talking about an open air prison.
You're talking about an occupied people.
And this way of drawing the line between the good and bad people, if we condemn our resistance or not, is not the right approach, in my opinion.
The right approach is to look at the root cause of why we resist in the first place as Palestinians.
We don't want to resist.
We want to live in peace.
We want to live in freedom.
But we don't have our freedom.
That's why we resist.
So the question is not, you know, why do you resist like this?
Or why do you use these tools of resistance?
The question should be what's the root cause of that resistance?
What's the reason that we resist in the first place?
And it's the illegal occupation, the apartheid system that we live under.
No, it's a result of the occupation.
It's a result of the Israeli government.
It's a result that we're dealing with a fascist government right now.
