“You are not from here, you tell yourself. You repeat that until everything ends.”
― Eve out of Her Ruins
― Eve out of Her Ruins
“Praat me niet over vrede. Praat me niet over vrede als die vrede betekent dat er een openluchtgevangenis bestaat waarin meer dan twee miljoen mensen opgesloten zitten. Een gevangenis zonder zuiver drinkwater, met onvoldoende voedsel, met te weinig brandstof om de ziekenhuizen draaiende te houden. Praat me niet over vrede als te vroeg geboren kinderen sterven omdat er niet genoeg elektriciteit is voor de couveuses. Als mensen met kanker alle hoop op genezing ontzegd wordt omdat hun therapie moet worden stopgezet. Als elke tien minuten een kind gedood wordt in Gaza. Praat me niet over vrede als mensen tientallen jaren lang, zelfs in zogenaamde vredestijd, uit hun huizen verdreven werden en worden.”
