I really wanted to write about something else today. But Today I read the Wikipedia article of Natalie Portman. An Israeli actress who studied in Harvard, she assisted Alan Dershowitz on the research for his dispicable book "The Case for Israel". I will put aside all the criticisms for this book, which suffers of major academic flows (some of these can be found on the Wikipedia article).
What interested me, is a tiny part of that article which documents an incident when Portman was stopped by NY police for looking suspicious (she had just shaved her head for her role in V for Vendetta), she was asked by the police to take the bridge instead of the tunnel. Her comment on the issue was rather familiar, she said "It's supposedly random... I didn't understand that logic. If you're a suspect, don't take the tunnel, take the bridge?"
Does she, being such an enthusiast of Zionism, understand that us Palestinians have to live with this question everyday?
Why can we enter Jericho from one road, but have to take the other road home? Or why, when I was born in Jerusalem, I am considered to be there illegally if I manage to bypass all the roadblocks? or why there are two parallel sets of roads near my village, one fully lit and paved, the other unpaved and dark? There are many questions... I can't manage to include all of them.
