这种占领使我们遭受非人待遇，我们不再有权自由生活。占领竭力窒息我们巴勒斯坦人在监狱围墙外的伪生活。我们必须抓住每一次拘留之间生命的短暂时光和片刻快乐，又不知何故开始害怕生命中短暂的快乐和稳定。害怕即将到来的下一波冲击……我最厌恶等待，一种在监狱里被放大的等待……如果我如此厌恶等待——而我离我的祖国、我的自由、我的城市耶路撒冷又只有几公里之遥——那么，如果我同意离开家园流放他乡，那等待又会是什么模样？
This occupation does not see us, or treat us, as human beings with the right to live as free people do. Instead, it does all it can to asphyxiate the pseudo life we Palestinians live outside the walls of the prison. We must snatch small moments of life and joy between each detainment, whilst somehow coming to fear the short-lived joy and stability in our lives. Afraid of the next shock that will hit us… What I loathe most is the condition of waiting, one which is magnified inside prison… If I hate the condition of waiting so much – while only a few kilometers from my homeland, my freedom, and my city, Jerusalem – then what will waiting look like if I am to agree to be exiled from my home?
