Fast Times in Palestine Quotes

“But a foreign army would actually have to occupy my country, build a Wall through my land, destroy my father’s livelihood, jeopardize my education, imprison my cousins, build a checkpoint between my pregnant sister and the hospital, bulldoze my neighbor’s house, and kill thousands of my countrymen in order for me to be able to really stand in their shoes.”
― Pamela J. Olson, Fast Times in Palestine

“we can hear our own thoughts and feel our own pain, while we can’t hear other people’s thoughts or feel their pain. Thus we see the wrongs others do but not the reasons, while we see the reasons for our own bad behavior but we don’t feel the consequences.”
― Pamela J. Olson, Fast Times in Palestine
