Thinking about 'freedom'

"take your family to Burger King or for Fried Chicken, and choose any carbonated drink you want, that is your liberty, and no one will interfere with it." 
Ibrahim Nasrallah in
Balcony of Delirium 

The woman on the left of this picture is about to be stopped, searched and questioned by the Israeli soldiers on the bottom right. They will question her while the two international observers (midle right in red and blue) observe. She does not have the freedom to walk from a residential area in the West Bank city of Hebron to the main shopping district without being harassed.
