IN STEREO

They throw stones to refuse the occupation. And anyway, stones are not a big way to fight a tank, a cannon, and a gun. I mean, what would a stone actually do in front of a gun? [But] this is a way to refuse occupation. It’s unacceptable that the occupation’s jeep enters our territories and does what it wants. I mean, should we throw flowers at it? It comes in to kill children. It arrests siblings, friends, and loved ones. It tyrannises, throws gas, suffocates children, harms, smashes. I mean, how can I tell you? It’s the simplest way we can refuse the occupation. We don’t have the cannons and guns, so we refuse it this way. We throw stones at it, attack it with Molotov cocktails – whether they enter at night or in the day. If they enter at night, there is a [phone] application [and] the young men tell one another that the army is here. They are the occupation, and we are the hornets’ nest. You find us popping out from here and there, from this alley [and] that one. – Ahmed
