In Al-Taghriba Al-Filastiniyya, which chronicles the Palestinian Nakba, there is a scene that feels less like fiction and more like a diagnosis.A teacher asks city children to write about the countryside.They describe it as a dream: green fields, flowing water, calm air, a place to escape to.Then a boy stands up.His clothes are torn, his face dusty.He says quietly, “I don’t visit the countryside. I live in it.”And he writes not about beauty, but about poverty, illness, hunger, and exhaustion.He ends by saying that only someone detached from reality would romanticize such a life.Since this war began, I have realized that we live in two parallel worlds.In one world, people count hours without water, bury children, sleep in tents, and negotiate survival day by day.In the other, people speak in abstractions: resilience, sacrifice, dignity, victory.One world measures life in calories, warmth, and safety.The other measures it in slogans and imagined futures.Those who live in comfort can afford to glorify suffering because they do not pay its cost.For them, pain is an idea.For us, it is the air we breathe.This is not a disagreement of opinions.It is a rupture in reality itself.We are not living the same story.We are not even living in the same world.Watch the video.It says this more honestly than words ever could.#gaza #WoundedGaza #Israel
