读过 Where the Line Is Drawn 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
[有聲書] [從河到海] 「開明以色列人」的重點就像「開明納粹」一樣不在「開明」，而是剩下的部分。無論作者的「親巴」「以色列人」好友如何拍胸脯跺腳是支持巴勒斯坦的，竟然養不出一個至少對 Israelism 有絲毫質疑的孩子，甚至歡呼雀躍地加入IOF，對探望生病父親的巴勒斯坦友人，即作者，冷眼相待。就像電影《Salt of the Sea》裡的那個開明錫安人，壁櫥裡放著反佔領、反殺戮的馬克杯，說起1948也唉聲嘆氣、長吁短嘆，可當房子真正的主人要索回甚至掏錢回購自己的祖屋的時候，開明錫安人畫滿精緻“價值”的“文明”畫皮馬上就腐爛剝落，露出猙獰的納粹真面目了。憑什麼要完全是受害者的巴勒斯坦人去體諒、成全世界的“大善人”們的傲慢、自負和偽善？！豆瓣的唯一評論說什麼“我們首先是‘個體’”。被壓迫的人自己可以選擇是否去原諒、不追究，但是見證這些屠殺的，甚至連發生過屠殺都不知道的人裝模作樣去說這樣輕描淡寫的話是可恥的。因為你們都還沒把這些本來無辜的個體從被污名、被殺戮的、強迫鎖在他們脖子上的那個“群體”枷鎖中解放出來，在這兒裝什麼理性中立吹"All Lives Matter"狗哨。 #NoIsraeliIsInnocent

Where the Line Is Drawn: A Tale of Crossings, Friendships, and Fifty Years of Occupation in Israel-Palestine
In what has become a classic of Middle Eastern literature, Raja Shehadeh, in Palestinian Walks, wrote of his treks through the hills surrounding Ramallah over a period of three decades under Israel’s occupation.
In Where the Line Is Drawn, Shehadeh explores how occupation has affected him personally, chronicling the various crossings that he undertook into Israel over a period of forty years to visit friends and family, to enjoy the sea, to argue before the Israeli courts, and to negotiate failed peace agreements.
Those forty years also saw him develop a close friendship with Henry, a Canadian Jew who immigrated to Israel at around the same time Shehadeh returned to Palestine from studying in London. While offering an unforgettably poignant exploration of Palestinian-Israeli relationships, Where the Line Is Drawn also provides an anatomy of friendship and an exploration of whether, in the bleakest of circumstances, it is possible for bonds to transcend political divisions.
