Imagine that you have been locked inside your house for 10 days. You cannot
leave your house because there are tanks and soldiers in the street, on every
corner there are snipers who shoot to kill.

EYEWITNESS
"They are ra-ing our cities”
April 7, 2002
Imagine that you have been locked inside your house
for 10 days. You cannot leave your house because there
are tanks and soldiers in the street, on every corner
there are snipers who shoot to kill. Imagine you
cannot go to work, your children cannot go to school
or to the nursery and you have to do your best to
explain to them what a tank is and what the soldiers
are doing in the streets of your city. For the world
it is easy to explain; we, the Palestinians are
terrorists and the Israeli government has a right and
even a duty to defend themselves and it is an
“understandable overreaction” (words of the Australian
prime minister) that the Israeli army invade all the
Palestinian cities in order to “clear out” the
terrorist network and its leadership. For us confined
to our homes, watching and listening to the horrendous
news of dead bodies in the streets we wonder why the
world is paralysed: we know that we are not terrorists
but merely normal people like you wanting to live our
lives as best we can.
Imagine you have no electricity, no water, no
phone-line and food is running low. Just try to
imagine this for one second. Then try to imagine that
the soldiers knock on your door. You have no choice
but to open the door even though your only wish is to
spare your children from this terrifying experience:
strange men dressed in strange army uniforms, shouting
in a strange language and pointing huge weapons at you
as they burst into the only safe haven you thought was
left; your own home. They order you and your family to
remain in one room while they use your kitchen, they
sleep on your couch or even in your bed, then leave
their filth behind in your shower. Before they leave,
they destroy some family pictures, break the table and
some chairs and, on their way out, they may even steal
your brand new mobilephone, your savings, your
computer and camera. This is done without any purpose
or any reason, they just want to make sure you noticed
they were here-in your house, violating the most
intimate and personal sphere and humiliating your
human dignity.
