Chris Towne Quotations

I have always felt that the occupation of Palestine is an American issue, because we give Israel something like $6 billion a year from our tax money.

I saw the wall every day. It is unbelievable.

We must realize that companies such as Caterpillar are profiting from oppression.

The worst thing about leaving is knowing I can leave this stuff. I will never understand what it is like to be a Palestinian.

Arab suburbs will become ghettos and we were warned that there's no guarantee we could visit this place again after the wall is completed.

This is worst in the refugee camps, where there is the most poverty and the most frequent confrontations with Israeli soldiers.

I have not heard much support for the two-state solution. Most of the Palestinians I have asked wish that they could live in a single, democratic state with equal rights for Jews and non-Jews.
