The Zionists may not have intended to create such a catastrophe for the Palestinians, but it has become a slow sociocide, which leaves my people with very few choices: one, emigrate to another Arab country or to the Western world because staying is a slow death; two, fight back and end up murdered by Israeli soldiers, or stuck indefinitely in the overcrowded Israeli detention centers and prisons. The Palestinians who have chosen to remain hold on with their fingernails to their land, to their culture and society. Some of them live in a catatonic state.
