Responses to reading at OSU

“I didn't know about the way Israel constructed the check points and the roads. Its like they are herding the Palestinians like animals... I absolutely could not believe how evil these people were.”

“I know that the relationship between the US and Israel will never change, but I can't believe that our Government, present and past, would allow and support this kind of Government.”

“Palestinians people lost everything they had before and Israel took a land which is not belonging to them and the Israeli government said they want to live in peace which I think untrue”
