I read this the day after the 2024 presidential election. I thought a lot about how the author is around my own age and, living in the same world as me, experienced so many hardships and horrors that I can only imagine. Like many people, I've been horrified by the ongoing genocide and my government's complicity in it, but books like this remind me that the Palestinian struggle for liberation has been happening for decades. It's books like these that motivate me toward solidarity.

This was a raw and brutal read. If you think what the people in Gaza experienced started after 7.10, go read some books! I could only imagine the level of fear you had to go through every day in your life. And that growing old is considered an achievement when it should be a human right. #readpalestineweek #freepalestine
