A mostly nonfictional protagonist in a mostly fictional universe.
For decades, The IDF have been responsible for killing and maiming countless children, women, and men.
Calling out their actions especially as they carry out the worst genocides in recent history against Palestinians is not a hate crime. It is a moral duty.

This isn’t just about the East or the West. It’s about what happens when moral imagination collapses. When there is no longer a line. When the systems in place do not respond to pain or shame or the spectacle of loss. And when the audience becomes used to it.
We Grew Up Believing Things Change. What If They Don’t?

This is the collapse.
Not of morality, but of attention.
Of knowing and not knowing what to do.
Of feeling and then choosing not to feel too much because it’s 1: 06 pm and there’s a meeting. And later, a dinner.

The age of inspirational Impunity ; On Nabila Makram, the IDF, and those who harm yet still expect to be seen as the ones who overcame.
The age of inspirational Impunity

An Arab spends their life between being homesick or being sick of home.

So it has been almost two months since I moved countries, I feel like I am getting to know a new self of mine; not good or bad just new. I wonder how many selves of mine are buried under the rubbles of failed societies and make believe modernity.

No words can describe what's happening daily in Palestine, No words can explain how Palestinians feel but words are seeds for ideologies to sprout, for action to materialise, they hold truth to power and can not be killed, starved to death, maimed, tortured or disappear
