Adania Shibli very aptly touches on how events like the ones described here in Palestine are so common that they don’t stick out to people that live there, except for minor details that may stick with a person, such as an event happening on their birthday. She also very clearly goes through the experience of an everyday Palestinian trying to navigate the ins and outs of curfews and restricted zones, and the anxiety that comes with the turn of every corner.
