Childhood under Israeli occupation

""We had a childhood just like everyone else, but it wasn't a normal childhood," says 13-year-old Tayma. "Everywhere we turn, the settlers are around us … They came to our land, stole our land, and are saying that it's theirs." "My dream is like the dream of any Palestinian kid," says Tayma. "It is to live in safety and not in the shadow of colonization, and not to feel crushed every time I leave the house. And my other dream is to become a famous Palestinian rapper." "" (thanks Amir)
