" I can't bear to see it anymore"

... I can't bear to see it anymore, the injustice that is done to the Arabs, to the Bedouins. All kinds of scum coming from America and as soon as they get off the plane taking over lands in the territories and claiming them for their own. And they do it in full daylight, with the backing of the government. The army and police do nothing to stop them. Stop them? The army and police are helping them in every way. I can't do anything to change it. I can only go away and let the the whole lot go to hell without me.'
-- from "It is No Longer My Country"; an interview with Israeli actress Elisheva Michaeli, published in Yediot Ahronot, 24 July 1998.
