You. And then nine hundred eighty seven i was just. Six years old living with my family in the physic and. Most of the time we didnt go outside. Boring life. The only thing we could do indoors was reading coming. In the city and camp i knew that and palestinian even that i never been to. And they only saw my homeland and the news. In the news also i heard about the palestinian illusion. Of what they called the intifada. You. I remember reading a comic book about its a horror. Story to a story about eighteen. Were born in and if anyone. Thought that support my town. Maybe you think that cows are all the same and they are stupid and lazy and just grazing all day with nothing going on that. Maybe is the thinking. I cant remember the comic book very well but that is for cows stick in my mind. There was a diff go she was a peacemaker so hurtful that she was praising. You know that. But. The hood see that im the oldest she didnt like the stance they dont want to work palestinians would prefer to riot than work true. Low enough a sexy cow and the madonna fun she was voted the pregnant of the thing intifada minty fought. Just to me means a ragheads rip off again and then that was called the. They are just about. Maybe if you listen to them you. Like. Maybe. This is how the story began. Early one nine hundred eighty eight. We drove to israel. And israeli peaceniks agreed to send my town to college. At that time. And they had to buy all of them that im such. A lot of ali and i shifted a rehab time i thought. Now but the and i know how hard. The crew that. Youre. Thirty. Third one in the minute the cows were and try and take a porch and restart it will bring back the best the whole we were part of and the happiness. And back to our soul there was. A kind of. Here. We have decided to invest so hard that we need to boycott products. Most of our milk comes from nova which is an Israeli Company we wanted to produce a project that would produce the milk thats needed by our children and populate. The group of people and thats our fault why wouldnt we have. To make milk available from local source instead of buying milk from israel. We have we dont have the culture of cows and but we have a culture of sheep and goats but. It was the first time i met a cow was in. Britain a few critics. Of the songwriting you had into further had thought. You know here any any mechanic you. Heard that the truck broke down on the way and that didnt have a clue what to do. Of the kind of. Yeah yeah you you look to me. Which. Is just so. Everyone. Can he says the cows are coming and we need some volunteers to help us. Controlling them and driving them to their. For me it was again you know this was one thousand you know ok lets go and play. This is beautiful. As a truce to be doing but to father i meant to have to suffer yeah. This is my town and those are my people. Ten thousand people who gave israel and i had. The s. Usa i know. I know you. Did you see. Her im like still she gave. Me the ok because the israeli army would take pity on them. There would be. The truck came and there was. A plane headed to the bar but he couldnt go because it was raining again and it was my. Oh as the air. Whats going through was we were going to come to church fifty women least. Get ready we dont do anything. Feel. In a minute and really. Shout very loudly at the yeah yeah yeah and. Us now a number of them are now moving was. Yeah. The camp. Jumped from the truck all over the place. Here and there and here and there and i remember with a very nice. Very nice soft smoking pants he was running through the minds of the mothers like till his knee and he was running behind the cows and everybody was running behind the car. Would remind you. We didnt know what to do. To check it. Before theyre. Going to. Listen to me its all over. Me. This is never worth what i started it. Was the longest. By. Calling not so it seems like. You see me but im a sort. Of a government they are what they call that which i feel most of it. Should be its a hole in the side. A mirror the law in. A million them you seem to call in the. Only. After years of bush is that youre stupid for granted you know the palestinians are happy you know we are providing them with jobs. They are enjoying a better standard of living they forgot one thing that food money is nothing we want to do the nation. But us didnt ians were not allowed to develop themselves they are not allowed to build an economy theyre not allowed to have been a great cultural development. We couldnt even produce simplest things that people needed for their daily life such like milk or milk products etc our food is coming from israel our fruits are coming from israel our water is coming from israeli dug. Water companies so they are imposing in fact the only thing they dont control is the air we breathe. One of the major. Of the occupation is. To try to put into your head that you are some human you are not worth seeing you are not equal. Palestinians we deserve to have a home we deserve to have our land we deserve to have our freedom and we deserve to have cars. This is the first time i come back. Twenty one years. Their. Fate. Well Something Like america. You can do what. They. Want to people. Like. When this happened. There was a lot of joy as if it is one of their families and i live in la yeah i. Tell him no hes not going to get that like that. Just flip. Now mike. Which you know very well given that the now dead ends what when did it end. Said they could look at. That some might get a little million. But dont miss a lot of. The moment they just drove down to my town but we live just in the entrance of the tunnel. We started to make sounds so its good to make like this. For me as a teenager at that time it was about the fun and about you know proving that we can stop israeli. Arabs and vans and products coming into our city. One of. The big. Stories i become rock and i throw stones and i remember i was almost a trip but i was like three meters away from the soldiers because they like when. They almost got to me so it was a. Great excitement. It was the second or third day when. Brought a friend of mine who was wanted by the israeli army. I think people suggested to him why dont you go and sleep in the front since you are you know youre wanted there is no place you can go. I heard. Oc. And. I saw like you know last night. He left just before i. Thought oh no wow model cars now and then out. Why. The sign for second guy so we had to go so i would go to the fashion. Oh no did they find out that youre going to dauphin. If they have a good shot now move like he was going up sudden death hips im not subtle we know.

You know the Victory Gardens and planting tomatoes and potatoes and raising chickens and rabbits and etc so i know it was also part of a back age in the community that was working. In the form that its. Where. The power. Plant they can jump from a building to another. I never thought of princeton as a really physical place that exists. For me it was more like smurfs means. Heaven. The occupation was talk by surprise they never thought of palestinians as having the capability of this level of Community Organization that they will be able to do a massive civil resistance like that one encounter there and therefore they started it i just think to it. I mean. I love the show much i love. Because a. Name misha color of. Another but the. Old. Still is a girl my own.

That we have to remove the cars and get rid of them. And i asked him why he said and i quote the exact words. These gaza are dangerous for the security of the state of as i and. I told him i cant understand how can a cows be dangerous for the security of the state of missouri. Thats very strange. Are not allowed to speak or to question this is a military order you have to do it and for you you are forbidden to go to that place and if i know that you have been there just once you will be jailed.

And they have their part of the cows in their hands and asking have you. Seen this. Place. Now. I mean because. Thats more dangerous for the security of the sake of was right. I think at that time at least the first two years of the intifada almost every Single Person and thats horse felt that we were winning. And. We have.

Discovered their cows are and they wont play which belongs to. You guys again. You must have not been. Bad this jury. Got out and. I mean i had an end. And the game. Was. Stella morna stella mona.

You have to risk. Its not an option. You know theres really a chase you dont want you to kill and this is the same story with the colts you know it goes with palestinians made. Some troubles you know and i think the cows have been experiencing the lights you know been moving skating from one place to another. And bobby knew a. Fifth when and i said you can doubt if that if it were if it. Can be in half a half hour when the knowledge was your id. Card i know were not home jani with the fact that you know how but she was funny. That you had. A few who have very tired. Really returned out differently. You know we could have learned to live side by side. Could disappear you know never have. A climate and i thought any can feel. That. You couldnt sue for any idea that the. Men were hard. So we. Have to make cool. It would be with him and. Me and me because no i mean im from ohio. Who i love. Late middle. Name and dannys got in hand but the have said. We have. Times of care for you i was right in the early years i didnt think. It was somewhere between reiki the care of your allowing us to go to the patients. In those days i was confronted with a problem that i could relate to during the longer days of curfew which is who is going to. Distribute the milk. They grabbed us out of our households they arrested many of us they thought charged they made life hell. I think normally people of the four years. Where their life is totally paralyzed. But others and. Thats a lot of money. And only god only myself because minutes are the engine of god no show he will see any muslim. Woman because in a Muslim Muslim is going from a goat than a muslim a holy man. Like a. But before the bonus of his. One affair and i thought. Any. One of them. Give bad. Israeli Prime Minister. Can cite. Things started to change in the sense that we were no longer taking our own decisions in our own hands but the interference was coming from abroad. The decision to back away from the intifada activities in favor of negotiations people were abandoned by their leadership and i dont mean leadership insight it was the thats a side who has the best. Interest not to have the father to continue and grow but to be quilted so that at some point there will be no leadership coming from inside from the story get itself that it will influence that positions of the. People start on the guns of the israelis in both the horror and i remember. People driving in their cars celebrating all over the west bank and i think for us it was kind of you know its its too soon its. We are being. And we are celebrating. I remember. Many many days we just drive to the desert of east of. And we stayed for hours and hours in that doesnt because we didnt want to hear their cars noise making. Celebrating. When i tried my hand. To hand them the next. Day out of pocket but i have a plenty. I thought realistically. We were so close or at least this is what we thought that we were so close to the nationhood there was no need for the brits a hundred cows any more and no need for the Backyard Farming and. No need for the intifada itself anymore. Had made his decision. Dont do anything stupid and begin to fight is over. Me and my friends we decided lets go and have a last demonstration was everything is almost a stabbing so lets try to go on and have a diminished. They managed to go through that all the blokes so we started to run. And saw another guy coming our direction so i called ben to come and hide with us but they felt it could be too dangerous. And just like a minute later we had three shots. That. People started to shout they shut down phone they shut down thought. Well yes. Us. Is evil. And we have to pay a price to get the developer patient have to pay a price. Its a very heavy price. On that date my father came to my school. Assistant at me though. He told me its your cousin. I never met on top and the first time i saw him was on his. My father wanted to take me to the memorial ceremony. I thought it would be small. But when we reached the church was from the streets outside the church was. I dont think everybody you know. And i dont know if it was only a memorial for a town or for the father. Of a a young man. But did and i mean. Any. Body form we can feel. I mean. But its really. Really. Listen to me carefully. I want you to. Run. Run. With that what catherine. But there was a woman in town that had been the doesnt. Twenty years now so maybe shes an old cow living in one of those caves maybe shes even thinking of coming back to withhold. Or maybe shes dead and im only chasing a ghost. But sometimes to feel that life is still worth living you need to believe in something. I decided to believe in a white girl living in a cave.
