What young Palestinian men want: in their own words
Ramallah is the headquarters of the Palestinean Authorities and the main city in the West Bank. While there I met with a group of about 15 teenage boys. I asked them, if I were to meet President Obama what would they want me to ask him. This was what they said;
Stop killing civilians
Stop attacking Mosques
Give us permission to pray in Jerusalem
Open access to Gaza
Remove illegal settlements
Give us back our land
I want my freedom
I want freedom for my country
We need an independent state
Remove the checkpoints
We need peace and safety
Tear down the wall
