Why Didn’t You Wear a Seatbelt

So the wall causes this farmer in Bil’in (whom I incidentally got to know while I was there) to get his tractor tangled up and have a serious accident, ending up in serious condition. What are we supposed to say? He should’ve been more careful? Why did he take his kids on his tractor for plowing? Why didn’t he have a seatbelt (incidentally, the Border police fine Palestinian drivers on the shared highways between towns if they see them without a seatbelt!). Should we be thankful to the army medic for intervening to get him to Tel Aviv? I’m so confused! Thanks for being so safety conscious about your barrier!

  1. Seriously, the Palestinians should receive and the Israelis should give the Palestinians: Citizenship. Problem solved. They won't attack each other if it's all one country. Everyone is happy & safe. Well, almost everyone.
