Quotation from Edward Said “Drop by drop tactic in which one or two houses are demolished daily” — Jul. 23 1998

" The tragedy of the Palestinian people […] is nothing less than a concerted attempt at ethnic cleansing. The main difference between Bosnia and Palestine is that ethnic cleansing in the former took place in the form of dramatic massacres and slaughters which caught the world's attention, whereas in Palestine what is taking place is a drop by drop tactic in which one or two houses are demolished daily, a few acres are taken here and there every day, a few people are forced to leave. No one pays much attention. "
