I have so many thoughts, hard to know where to start. So I’ll start where I learned first about Palestine and their occupation by Israel. From Palestinian American poet Naomi Shihab Nye and her many poems describing her families’ homes and life under occupation. No, she didn’t make it “pretty” - just sad, the real way it is. I NEVER understood the Jews moving in and claiming land - BECAUSE IT SAID SO in the Bible. Just WHAT IS THAT??? And ignoring the Palestine Authority. WHY??? But I’m Whitey (though not Righty) and American. Am I guilty? Most of my friends, even the Jewish ones, do NOT favor Israel’s ongoing genocide. Just thank you for writing this story. Keep writing!!!
