1/ As I wrote in the comment section there, “Where is the photo of that Israeli soldier who said that cameras are our kryptonite”. If there’s no photo…
2/ I keep writing ‘Hevron’ but my spell-check doesn’t seem to agree. But when I write ‘Hebron’ it does. Who is the illiterate?
3/ If these Gaza youth feel the way they feel (assuming these are actual Gaza youth), why don’t they leave Gaza completely, as in emigrate?
