Often, I suppose. That's the question I ask you today: just because something is allowed, would you still do it knowing it's not right? Most people would say NO. NEVER. But that's not what we see in Palestine for more than 70 years now... will you keep being silent? Or will you stand for human rights and human beings? As I use to say, you always have a choice. Always. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

The same happens with decisions, conversations, videogames, and a bunch of other things we love.
