We're told that we should continue living inside these enclaves without access to clean water, without access to the right to movement, without access to building permits, without our natural right to expansion, without... without a guarantee that if we leave our house, we're not going to be shot, and we're supposed to not do anything about it.

Why is it that American actions in Iraq is not called terrorism by American politicians? Violence is like this... mutating concept, you know, and it takes on many shapes and forms. And if it's in a uniform, if it speaks in English, if it has blonde hair, it's somehow acceptable. It's okay. We make movies about it. You know, we sell out tickets. We make games about it.
