Young Palestinians Speak

Living under Occupation. Palestinian children share their dreams and fears for themselves and their country.

Klappentext:

In Palestine today, a second generation of children and young people is growing up experiencing life under occupation. These are children who know only fear when they see an Israeli soldier or come across a roadblock. This book provides a platform for children and young people, from all over this occupied land, to speak in their own voices about the day-to-day experience of living under occupation. It begins with an explanation of what the occupation means for those living under it, and is followed by the heart of the book: nine sections, each one focusing on one of the places visited by the authors. At the end, there is a timeline showing the main events that led up to the occupation and beyond.

As you read their words, you will see that what these young people want is a stable family life, security where they live, freedom of movement in their country, and a safe place to grow up and dream of a future. They are just like young people everywhere; it is only the circumstances of their lives that are so different. The young people in this book lay open their humanity by sharing with you their hopes and fears for themselves and their country. Except for the accident of birth, these young people could be you.
