One Palestinian demand revealed the limits of an Arab's place in Israeli politics
Mansour Abbas spent years reassuring Jewish Israelis that Palestinian citizens were partners rather than threats, separating their civil needs from their national identity. Then, suddenly, all those years of reassurance counted for nothing
Mansour Abbas had spent years trying to reassure Jewish Israelis that Palestinian citizens were partners, not threats, by separating their civil needs from their national identity. However, a recent development revealed the limits of an Arab's place in Israeli politics.
A four-year-old Palestinian, Mohammad Abdel-Salam Taha, was killed in an Israeli attack on a building in Zawayda, Gaza. According to Reuters, citing Palestinian health officials, the child was wounded along with six others by flying debris and shrapnel, and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Since a so-called ceasefire took effect last October, Israel has killed over 1,280 Palestinians in Gaza, according to reports. A displaced Palestinian, Abu Ahmed, who was sheltering close to the targeted building, expressed frustration, saying "There is no ceasefire, there is nothing... We want solutions, we want to live in peace."
