Details
- Income from tourists eating with the same family in Hebron has allowed the family to stay in their house: “If they had no income, they would just leave and sell their house to the Israelis”; “Before, where there was only their shop, now there are four shops around them” (PDF p.102).
- “This is resistance”, he concludes. “Just to stay where you are. And to live” (PDF p.102).
- He defines his continual, repeated, daily descriptions of the occupation as an inoculation against complacency in it: “Israel wants us to forget” (PDF p.102).
