What we can do

Raise awareness 

“It feels like words have lost meaning; actually, everything has. So many things we have known as Palestinians deep inside, and maybe have forgotten or taken for granted along the way as we tried to lead what we thought is a normal life, or a life that would eventually contribute to a better future for our country and children, have come back to bite us in the face.

We knew that the world has let us down ever since 1947; we knew that many who preach about freedom of speech, human rights, and equality will not stand their ground when it comes to Palestine but still, we went on. I thought I had reached that realization when the Ukraine war happened, and we all saw how easily and efficiently the “international community” could mobilize towards what they deemed as a rogue country. But still was shocked to see the unprecedented impunity granted to Israel. All the information is out there for people to read and learn, and yet governments and official organizations are not listening to people or to anyone.”
