Amira Hass Quotes

• An ideology that divides the world into those who are worth more and those who are worth less, into superior and inferior beings, does not have to reach the dimensions of the German genocide to be wrong.

• Tengo privilegios incluso en comparación con un israelí palestino porque los israelíes palestinos que viven permanentemente en Ramala arriesgan su estatus, no como ciudadanos sino como residentes. Pueden perder sus derechos sociales si se trasladan a Ramala. Pero yo no, así que vivo con privilegios. Esa noción es muy difícil para mí, que me crié en una familia de izquierdas, una familia de personas que sufrieron discriminación como judíos en el extranjero. La idea de que soy tan privilegiada es repugnante. Pero esto es lo que significa vivir en una sociedad blanca. Eres blanco, así que eres un privilegiado.

• Many Israelis can get to know what's really happening. I mean, you have soldiers who go and see things. It's not like France and Algiers or, I don't know, England and Kenya or Belgium and Kenya. It's in your backyard. It's much more about willingness, indecision, the inability, or exposure. There is a decision not to be exposed. People can live like five minutes away from it all.

• If a baby is born in Gaza and is not registered with the Israeli Ministry of the Interior, that baby does not exist, it does not count. I get very annoyed when my Palestinian friends complain, 'Why didn't they give me a permit, I am not a terrorist,' because it is not about the person, it is about a policy that people can't articulate because there is no discourse to explain the political intention behind it.

• I think most Israelis prefer not to know. So for them, texts about the occupation are like something that's been written in a foreign language that they can't understand. If they want, you can translate it to them. But it is their choice. In general, though, I think Israelis don't want to know. Very few do. Basically, I write to the converted.

• As a child, I remember asking my parents when I was five years old, "How come if you are not Zionists, you came to the country?" I was surprised at myself that I asked this question. It means that it was always in the air. Then years later I understood it was because of the Holocaust, because they were refugees. They did not come as immigrants and, because of the illusions of the '50s and the late '40s, my mother said, "The world must be better." She could not imagine that it wouldn't be different.

• Mucha gente simplemente no relaciona los problemas sociales con la historia de desposesión de los aborígenes. Hay un problema con los activistas propalestinos de Europa y Estados Unidos, y es que presentan a Israel como si fuera una isla de maldad en un océano de buena voluntad. Desgraciadamente no es así. Este mundo no está hecho de Estados benignos y progresistas, con Israel como única excepción.

• With the children of Holocaust survivors, there is always a very close relationship. You grow with the sense that you are parenting your parents and - with this kind of responsibility to protect them. That's what makes the children of Holocaust survivors strange.

• Luckily I was not born in Eastern Europe, because I might have been born into the communist establishment and I'm glad I was not. But in Israel, communists were dissidents. So you grow up in an environment which is very critical of Israeli policies.
