In this tense exchange, Rahma Zein stated to the CNN journalist, “I understand that you represent your government and policies, claiming to support freedom of expression and freedom of opinion. However, you understand democracy only as it suits you, applying principles only according to your interests. We now see the results of your occupation, your Zionism, and your false representation of Arabs. We observe your inhumane treatment of Arabs and your view of their inferiority.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

She also added, “I don’t want you to bring your cameras so I can speak, but give me answers to my questions. As a human being, I would like to understand why you do this. The real disaster lies in the fact that you seem not to measure the impact of your actions.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
