"Neither it nor I knew what wrong we had committed. And so, I decided to learn embroidery from my neighbour in displacement, Umm Aide, a primary school teacher. I stitched the details of my memory onto everything and from everything, reviving my soul with a dream that had always dwelt within it."

I condemn the global mainstream media for failing to cover the credible accusations, Greta Thunberg has been abused, beaten, humiliated and mistreated in Israeli custody. It is absolutely essential that the media focus on this story, to put pressure on Israel.
