Gaza Writes Back by Refaat Alareer

challenging emotional reflective

---

This story is a powerful collection of short stories that can easily be read over time (ie one short story a day) and capture the resilience, grief, and resistance of life under occupation. Each story offers a deeply personal glimpse into the struggles of Palestinians. 

One of the stories contains the quote "History is always repeating itself, not necessarily in the same form, but it brings the same deformity to us." We continue to bear witness to these stories and yet the oppression evolves and persists. 

This story is a must read for anyone who believes in amplifying silenced voices.
