In his Twitter post, he shared the quote of Noam Chomsky from one of his old articles on the Palestinian-Israel conflict. “You take my water, burn my olive trees, destroy my house, take my job, steal my land, imprison my father, kill my mother, bombard my country, starve us all, humiliate us all, but I am to blame: I shot a rocket back,” reads the statement.
His tweet has garnered thousands of multiple re-shares on Twitter within an hour. This is his second tweet during the ongoing bout of escalation between Israel and Palestine.
