Quote preview background for Yasmina Khadra
Whose truth do you want to know, Dr. Amin Jaafari? The truth of a Bedouin who thinks he__ free and clear because he__ got an Israeli passport? The truth of a serviceable Arab per excellence who__ honored wherever he goes, who gets invited to fancy parties by people who want to show how tolerant and considerate they are? The truth of someone who thinks he can change sides like changing a shirt, with no trace left behind? Is that the truth you__e looking for, or is it the one you__e running away from? What planet do you live on, sir? _ Our cities are being buried by machines on caterpillar tracks, our patron saints don__ know which way to turn, and you, simply because you__e nice and warm in your golden cage, refuse to see the inferno consuming us.

Mind", can't make differences between real and not..., (OFF NOW THAT..., then that...), you are saying lie after lie..., then believing in false stuff. And thinking in positive sides so to scream not much as the other do, but as always you one moment scream you can't stop it... Now putting against me a knife and saying "Go away... give me my daughter... give me her back"..., don't you see the people laugh at you, don't you see it. Look their faces, with so many smiles, but they aren't people, they are from the army, off, off for god sake they are soldiers which have guns. Have killed few people, have taken your daughter and they are many as a number than you and your whole family... Probably this part as an General I must skip it, because it's logical however look it and from this side, nobody will sacrifice so you to be happy... you will die.. O, o, the poor little girl crying in front of the people, she just saw her mother pointing with a knife against the soldiers and now she is killed by one of the soldiers.
