3. Here and there, we're not really citizens any more, we're targets

10. They aren't going to give up, I hope
Military occupation is not public occupation, since public occupation seeks for people to be free, and military occupation seeks for people to be oppressed.

11. It's been an 8 hour battle so far. There are about 10K people
