Anonymous Israeli woman: "we conquered the territory of the Arabs"

Q: Why do you steal land from the Palestinians?

A: This is a question related to history, yeah?  And stealing is not the word.  It's conquering.  We conquered.  Every state, every nation in history, conquered.  So we conquered the territory of the Arabs.  They left so now it's ours.  Now they want to take it in their own way.  It's fine by me.

Q: Okay.  So what do you mean it's fine by you?

A: It's fine by me.  If they want their territory back, so they fight for it.  If they bomb, they kill, their own way.

Q: So you can even understand.

A: Yes, I can understand.

Q: So what do you think should happen then?  If, let's say, the goal is to end violence, how do we do that?

A: We as a people?  We as a country?  The government?

Q: Whatever you think.

A: I don't know.  We want to hold the land, yeah?  I don't want to release my home.  So I think the fight will never end.

Anonymous Israeli woman on land rights in Israel

Q: Why do you steal more and more Palestinian land?

A: We steal?  They steal our land.

Q: But you came here.  They were living here and you came here...

A: We lived here before them.  Look at the history.  Not just 100 years, a lot of years.  God gave us Israel.  God gave us this area.  We didn't steal from them.  We didn't hate them.  They hate us.  Really.  I appreciate them.  We let them live here, but they want to kill us.  It's from the Bible, you know.
