-- A few weeks after Israeli Independence Day, and just days after June 5, that symbolic date on which the Six-Day War erupted 45 years ago, I am sitting on my own in the alleyways of the Tulkarm refugee camp to write this column. I am writing to you from this refugee camp, in which I grew up and became a warrior against the occupation, I am now writing to you in the spirit of liberty, peace and tolerance.

Yedioth Ahronoth (p. 29) by Sever Plocker (op-ed)
translated by Israel News Today, no link.
-- A number of years ago a few dozen Israeli families bought subsidized apartments in a new project on the edge of an existing neighborhood. They recently learned that the contractor had used hazardous construction materials and, as a consequence, the building had to be demolished. The owners of the apartments, some of which are rented out for sizeable sums, were offered new apartments that are more spacious and better fitted, that will be built for them on a different plot in the neighborhood. They vehemently reject that offer: we will not leave our apartments, we will not give up our rights. Our current apartments are embedded deeply within our hearts. This is our land. Our opinion is firm--we will not move to new apartments that are even a mere 500 meters from the old ones.
