Her First Palestinian by Saeed Teebi

4.25

#7 Woodland (this story is the most beautiful and touching, even though the Palestinian character seems only a side note; idea of exodus and the difference in kinds between the two characters is stark) [5*]
#9 Enjoy Your Life, Capo (tied for my favorite; what do you do when you're facing two impossible choices? how far do your morals supersede your needs?) [5*]
#5 Ushanka (the most beautiful and the most sad so far in a way) [4.5*]
#2 Do Not Write About the King #2 (left a feeling of dread) [4.5*]
#6 At the Benefit (what is a "good refugee"; pain on display to beg for help) [4*]
#1 Her First Palestinian (somewhat confusing [I don't understand the fighting], but interesting look at allyship from the other side) [4*]
#4 The Body (no real thoughts on this one) [3*]
#8 The Reflected Sky (another one that really makes me dislike men, and I don't understand the ending; at least the woman in this one was real) [2*]
#3 Cynthia (this just makes me dislike men) [2*]
