Being abroad while your friends, family and loved ones are back home, terrified for their lives, paralyzes you. Trying to hold “the others” hand while your hands are busy keeping your traumatized heart together, drives you to depression that puts your empathy on a short leash.…
Bittersweet emotions, thoughts, doubts and concerns all swim in my brain i would usually try to race the tide but today i float and I absorb. 467 days of torture, gside and unlivable circumstances, today we give space, today we support because today they live. الحمدلله ❤️🩹🇵🇸
“Tonight is holiday of Sukkot. Hundreds of thousands of sukkahs (huts) have already been built throughout the country. One of the meanings of the holiday is the theme of crossing - a temporary period of living in buildings that are not meant to remain forever, but rather - a…

Being pro-peace and anti-violence is not conditional. It is a belief system that has no exceptions, regardless of who the victim or perpetrator is. There is no selective humanism. If you justify war/geno/killings… and believe in “de-escalation through escalation,” or if you say…
Just got violated at Ben Gerion airport for no reason other than being a Palestinian from Jerusalem. Questioning wasn’t enough, going through all my sh*t wasn’t enough, x raying me and literally seeing through my bones wasn’t enough. They had to strip my clothes off and use a…
26 yo American peace activist was shot in the head and killed by the Israeli army in the village of Beita near Nablus in the Occupied Territories. The Army is known to respond with live ammunition to discourage the weekly peaceful marches. There is no way for Palestinians or…

In an alternate universe, Hersh was never kidnapped. In another world, Oct. 7th was one of the most joyful days in his life, where he was with friends in nature and danced like there was no tomorrow. He rushed back home with the buzz still in his system telling his family all…
I’ve been back and forth to the West Bank for 2 weeks now standing with Palestinian families against settler land theft and I’ll tell you this; I’m meeting 3 types of Jewish Israelis; The illegal settlers, the soldiers protecting them and those who come with me using their…
