Refugee Camps Quotes

• Israel utiliza sofisticados aviones de ataque y buques de guerra para bombardear campos de refugiados densamente poblados, escuelas, bloques de apartamentos, mezquitas y barrios marginales para atacar a una población que no tiene fuerza aérea, ni defensa antiaérea, ni marina, ni armamento pesado, ni unidades de artillería, ni blindados mecanizados, ni mando en control, ni ejército, y lo llama guerra.

• El otro día me reuní con varios refugiados [sirios] en Berlín y me sorprendió lo educados, inteligentes y patriotas que son. Quieren volver. Aman a su país. Y hay tantos de ellos todavía en Jordania y en campos de refugiados en el Líbano y en Turquía, que si se pudiera crear el clima en el que podrían empezar a volver, creo que hay tal historia de secularismo dentro de Siria, incluso tolerancia dentro de Siria, que si podemos hacer frente a ISIL, sí. Esa es la clave. Y con el ISIL allí, ni hablar.

• It's often frustrating when you're a war reporter and you're covering these places that far away. You're frustrated by making stories that people can't connect to in any way. It's hard for Americans to connect to Arabic-speaking Iraqis in refugee camps or Pashto-speaking Afghans in the countryside, and having a character who is a vehicle through which you're allowed to make these relationships really allowed us to gain in an emotional weight that was difficult for us to do any other way to make it all human.

• La gente está tan obsesionada con eso hoy en día. Mientras estés sano, ¿qué diferencia hacen unos kilos? Dietas locas. Niñas de trece años en portadas de revistas que acaban en hospitales por ser anoréxicas. Las mujeres de verdad no tienen ese aspecto. ¿Y quién las quiere así? Nadie quiere a una mujer que parece enferma o que viene de un campo de refugiados.

• A veces pienso que la imagen más auténtica de Dios hoy en día es una abuela negra de los barrios pobres de Estados Unidos o una madre de desaparecidos en Argentina o las mujeres que se levantan temprano para hacer tortillas en los campos de refugiados. Todas lloran por sus hijos, y en sus lágrimas compasivas surge la acción política que cambia el mundo. Las madres nos muestran que es la experiencia de tocar el dolor ajeno la clave del cambio.
