Palestinian Childhood
Transcript Translation:
I would tell him to come see our condition, our children, how they are left in classrooms, on the tile floor, no carpet, no food, no water, no electricity.
Is this life? This is siege; this is the biggest siege, the greatest siege by Israel.
I would tell him look and see how we are living; we’re left here, we don’t get to play, we don’t get to laugh, we don’t get to learn, we don’t get to see kids’ shows. I turn the TV on; all I see is funerals, shooting, death, war, tanks, and invasion.
I don’t find kid’s show that I can pass time, learn from. I don’t find cartoons to play (sic), watch and pass time. Everything is funerals and carrying martyrs and shooting.
We here, we don’t have food, no water, no drinks, nothing. We are left here like beggars.
Look at the other people, how they play, have fun, and laugh. We are under
siege, nearly two years under siege. We don’t get food or water; they have done
nothing for us. They did not even open the border crossings so food and other
things can get in.
