"I was offered a transfer, and I said no. There is no dust on my feet, why should I leave?"
-Moaz
It seems so plain on the screen, but if you could have heard him say those words, it would mean so much more. He was telling us about the school where he teaches, and how it is a dangerous area. He said he kisses his wife and children goodbye every morning, just in case he does not come back.
But he will not leave, because there is no dust on his feet. He was talking about that verse, 'if they do not accept you, shake the dust of their city from your sandals' or something like that.
And though there is danger, there is no dust on his feet.
