I was only 3 years old when my body shook of fear while watching the news during Al-Aqsa intifada. At the time I thought I was cold and wondered why the blanket didn't stop my body from shaking

I was only 5 when I had my first dream of Israelis shooting me and I woke up crying
I was also 5 the first time I had a gun pointed at me. Israelis barged into our house in the west bank, the "safe" area. They made me and my family stand against the wall of our house as they went in, took all my mother's gold and threatened to arrest my teenage brothers
It hurts my heart to hear people talk about a one-state solution. About "peace".

How do you expect us to forget our still-continuining generational ptsd?

No justice no peace. Palestine will only be free when it's from the river to the sea
