If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back.

From NYT article Published: September 12, 2001 By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

"Yasser Ahmed, manager of an Arab-owned candy and grocery store on Broadway in Upper Manhattan, said about 10 people had come in shouting, ''You guys did it!'' and other accusations.

At an Arab-owned grocery store on West 177 Street, a shouting match erupted among customers when a Palestinian woman blamed American support of Israel for the terrorism.

''I'm Arabic and Palestinian and I have just one thing to say,'' said Yasmeen Hindi, 19, a customer at Uptown Deli Grocery. ''I feel bad, but Americans have to understand something: If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back. Stop supporting the Israelis.''
