Balisa ang kanyang mukha. Walang hinto siyang lumakad patungong embahada ng Israel
sa Washington, D.C.
Isa siyang sundalo ng U.S. Air Force. Pamilyar siya sa utos na “Obey first before you complain.”
Pero ngayong araw na ito ng Linggo, 25 Pebrero, higit pa sa pagrereklamo ang kanyang ginawa. Gamit ang kanyang cellphone, nag-livestream siya, via Twitch.
Aniya, hindi na siya magiging “complicit in genocide” at ngayo'y gagawa ng isang “extreme act of protest.” Pero kung ihahambing sa dinaranas ng mga taga-Palestina, ay “not extreme at all.”
Isinandal niya ang cellphone sa ibaba ng bakod. Lumayo rito at sinuot ang kanyang beret. Inayos ang tindig. Binuhusan ang sarili ng likido na nasa tumbler. Itinapon ito.
“Hi, Sir, can I help you?” tanong sa kanya ng guwardiya ng embahada.
Gamit ang lighter, sinindihan ang sarili. “Free Palestine! Free Palestine!”
