Apartheid 100
Soran of the Holy Land
"Our Freedom is Incomplete Without the Freedom of Palestine."-
Nelson Mandela
It was evening in Jerusalem. A police officer walked by seeing the Israeli Occupation Forces beating up a Palestinian. He knew that man was innocent, he just didn't give a damn. As he walked into the alley, he saw a man with a gun.
Gunner: Idolater! Your soul is required in Hell!
The shooter fired his Desert Eagle at the cop.
Three Years Earlier…
Soran Ibrahim and Akira Tendo were roommates. Akira was a telemarketer. Soran, on the other hand was a fisherman. Akira was happy to reside from his home country and find a job in Jerusalem. He met a girl along the way. Although Allelujah Akira and Soran enjoyed hanging out at a bar, Soran did not drink.
Guest: So what college did you and Soran go to?
Akira: PASSIA.
Palestinian Guest: No kidding!
Akira: It was nothing really.
Palestinian Guest: No need to be modest. Who was that girl from that company you work at?
Akira: Saori Ohtori.
Third Guest: Ditch the tie, the night is young!
Fourth Guest: You like sports?
Akira: Used to play Rugby.
Soran: Nelson Mandela was a huge fan. I used to play soccer myself. Diego Maradona's my idle.
Palestinian Guest: I see you two have become good friends.
Not for from their own table, Akira could see Saori. He was so charmed by her presence that he was feeling up to the challenge of working hard. But his moment of happiness didn't last long. The company was a mess and was bound for a disaster. The next morning, there was a police roadblock where Soran was delivering fish.
Soran: What the hell is this? How are we supposed to get our fish to the Muslim Quarter?
Israeli Sheriff: This is to stop your people from killing Jews.
Soran: It's not the Jews we aim to kill, Allelujah. It's your IOF. We are not intimidated by you thugs.
Allelujah: Why don't you leave before you cause anymore trouble.
Fisherman: Ignore them, Soran.
Allelujah: Tell the your PLO friends we'll be watching.
Soran: Tell them yourselves.
When they both returned to their apartment, Soran saw that Akira was in a predicament. But despite his lack of sleep, Akira prepared for work. Things had gone from better to worse for Akira. His boss, Gonzou Kosugi, was very cruel. Every single staff member had been sleep deprived. He was their Tojo. He was their Mussolini.
2nd Year
Soran went to the office to have a word with Kosugi.
Soran: Salaam, Mr Kosugi. Did you hit my friend yesterday?
Kosugi: I beg your pardon?
This came as a surprise to Akira that his roommate came to take a stand.
Soran: You did, didn't you. You humiliated him in front of the girl of his dream.
Kosugi: I don't know who you are, but I want you out.
Soran: By Allah, you will reap a what you sow.
Kosugi: Get out before I call security.
Soran: What makes you think I'm afraid?
Later, Saori offered Akira lunch.
Present Day
Soran, after witnessing the murder of 2 year old Mohammed Tamini, armed himself with a captured Desert Eagle. He went out to kill a police in the alley.
Soran: Idolater! Your soul is required in Hell!
He fired his gun at a police officer, right in the heart. Soran then ran off.
When Soran returned to his apartment, he saw that Akira was becoming so dull, their apartment was a mess.
One morning, Akira found the bill for his bike space. He went to see the building manager about the fee. But when he did, he saw the manager had been shot. Soran came to discover the scene of the crime.
Soran: He's dead. There's nothing we can do right now.
Akira: Who could've done this?
The answer awaited them in the hall. The IOF appeared and chased Akira and Soran out of the building.
Akira: We're being chased by the fuzz. That means…WE'RE FREE!
They got to the roof of the building where the IOF couldn't find them.
Akira: What a rush! We can finally get a day off!
Soran: This isn't a game, Akira. Netanyahu wants to control Palestine. We're going to need to prepare for the worst.
Akira: Urrr… Okay? What do you suggest?
Soran: We fight.
Akira: Are you saying we can't have fun?
Soran: We can. When we find the time.
Akira: Well, I'm going to get my motorcycle license. I'd like to set foot Al-Aqsa mosque. Maybe skydiving. Might as well start a list. I rather die than pretend to be something I'm not.
Soran: As would I. I have a list of my own to with ideas to end the Israeli occupation.
They both took off on Soran's truck. But when they arrived at Saori's apartment, they saw she had been arrested.
Israeli Sheriff: Coming through.
Akira: Saori-chan, from this moment I saw you on my first day at work…I always…I always been completely in love with you!
Israeli Sheriff: Okay, that's enough.
Akira: What are you charging her with?
Allelujah: Harboring terrorists in your establishment.
Soran: Time to go, Akira.
They stopped at the goods store where Akira got himself some beer while Soran went for soda. Their fight against the Zionist regime had begun.
