"This is the reality of apartheid system and occupation.👇 An Israeli reserve soldier punched and threatened 19-year-old Maher Saria, a gas station worker from the village of Al-Bat in the Negev, simply for playing Arabic music in his car. "My mother loves me," Maher said. "I endured the fear that he might falsely accuse me of trying to snatch his weapon to justify killing me, so I chose to ignore what he did.""
