Good morning lizards!

I posted this in the spinoffs earlier before I went out. Time magazine has a disgusting story about Palestinian prisoners…

Visiting Daddy in Prison: A Palestinian Ordeal

Spending time with her dad requires that six-year-old Jinan undertake a bizarre and arduous odyssey. Usually, she travels alone, but last Monday, the Palestinian girl with the rosebud smile and bouncing energy was accompanied by her younger sisters, Dania, 4, and Noor, 2, on the journey to the Israeli prison that holds her father.

At home in the beleaguered West Bank town of Qalqilya, as her mother dressed her before dawn in an almond-green blouse and jeans, Jinan asks the same question she always does: “Mommy, why does Daddy have to sleep on the Israeli side?” And her mother, Salam Nazal, comforts her by saying: “Because that’s where the best Palestinian men go to sleep, and your father is one of them.” The town, which has elected a Hamas mayor, is known as a center of Palestinian militancy, and Israeli security forces conduct raids there on average five times a week.

And who’s fault is it for the conflict between Israel & the Palis?

With so many Palestinians still locked up in Israel, demands for prisoner releases remain at the center of most Israeli-Palestinian political negotiations. Those behind bars are a lost generation of Palestinians, and it’s a safe bet that their children, like Jinan and her sisters, will inherit their parents’ bitterness toward Israel.

Israel, of course.///
