educated as he was enlightened as he was,had been raised and lived almost the entirety of his life in Hebron the most besieged city of the West Bank,albeit, granted, outside the old city and out range of the pics and trash the Israeli settlers threw down at the streets #Hammad23

Worth a try lol, speaking of entering places I just finished Enter Ghost and thought it was excellent.

All of this means that in the end you, or at least the middle classes are less likely to fight because the despair has been relieved, momentarily, and perhaps our Hamlet would be just another version of this narcotic and what, if anything, could we do about that? #Hammad23

Even pompous Jad was infected by the sense of possibility born of hopelessness, once people knew they had nothing left to lose.

He looked good,he was wearing smart clothes. I guess that means he took the job. Anyway, it was brief but he was friendly. Humiliation makes men nasty.

Perhaps she felt torn from wanting to get close to him and her feat of what she would find, or feel. Or even: not find, not feel.

The audiences here were mostly bourgeois and Christian, she said disparaging, even though this was arguably a description of both of our backgrounds.

The sea gasped on the shore. I sat on a boulder and looked out to where the sun reclined across the water.

Palestinian citizens of Israel were often punished for treason in those days if they were caught communicating with Palestinians outside who were in the movement, even if they were relatives. It was called consorting with the enemy.

Maybe all's fair in love and war. Only it's not, is it? Not since the Geneva Convention.

Is that a news crew? Are they allowed to do that? I recalled something about it being illegal to film Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. I wondered if I was misremembering since that sounded quite extreme.

I expected them to interrogate me at the airport and they did. What surprised me was that they didn't take very long.

Sometimes we're too sentimental. Like, as though the best thing in the world would be to end up with a Palestinian man or a Palestinian woman. You could say it's because, oh, I don't know, you want to share Palestine with the person closest to you.

One large eyebrow rose on his forehead. I grinned like a child at a hakawati.

...and wondered if there was something especially subversive about that here, in a military state, where the soldier is a sacred figure, an image in their ideology as olive trees are in ours.

I guess I feel there's something about being a man,when a situation is set up to humiliate you. Didn't you say that, the other day? Humiliation makes men nasty.

When we look at their soldiers, they see sons and daughters. When we look at their soldiers, our hearts beat harder, although it is for different reasons.

How can you say this is not a democracy if we allow you to speak? In the first he replied, if you compare this to a totally undemocratic country than sure- but if you compare to any democratic country in this world...

Aunt Rima's age-old ferocity towards my mother, whom she was known to dub 'my brother's foreign wife'. And there: her sons abroad. Actually foreign wives. #Hammad23 #IsabellaHammad #EnterGhost📚🐦

The instability there is something else, she told me. It’s not a place to raise a child. I mean, of course they raise children but if you have a choice- it's horrible. It's a constant battle, constant vigilance.
