The Olive Trees

s-t:

…deliberately understated and well constructed from the children’s perspective…

..kids need hope…(we all need hope)…it is hope that makes the challenges, dreariness, surprises and setbacks of life bearable…and it is due to the systematic and deliberate denial of hope by Israel and the short sightedness of the gross (and immoral and counter-productive) support for its policies by the US Administration that the Palestinian generation under Occupation is denied hope…is being denied dreams…to the point where Salaam is forced to say in utter despair:

I need nothing.
I need no one.
I just want to throw stones.
