Thankful to be alive in Gaza: My family’s story of survival
Hani Almadhoun tells the story of how his family survived the recent Israeli attack on Gaza. His two-year-old nephew Omar, above, rushed home after the fighting ended to find his beloved bike. Almadhoun’s mother told him over the phone, “I wish you were here to see his face when he found it. It’s like he discovered one more reason to live.”
Conversations with my mom in Gaza
Hani Almadhoun writes about talking to his mother in Gaza during the Israeli attack: “Tonight, I will wear an extra pair of pants, to be ready, in case anything happens to us, I will be decent as I am transported to a local hospital or morgue” she told me. “I want to look good even when I leave this earth.”
Netanyahu’s political pandering leads to more Palestinian bloodshed
Using the logic of ‘might makes right,’ which plays itself out in cycles of bloodshed, Palestinians have to die. This is the logic of extremes, devoid of dignity, signaling little respect for human rights and the autonomy of democracies. The logic paves a path to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office and overlays that path with Palestinian blood. The motivation behind Netanyahu’s call to arms is the inexorable political pandering to his right-wing coalition, and the lives of Palestinians should not get in his way.

The Gaza tunnels aren’t just for imports
Every time I or one of my relatives visit our Egyptian cousins in Egypt, they ask us to bring specific goods. Two items they almost ask for hair gel, and denim. It seems a good hair gel is hard to … Continue reading
Hamas crackdown further limits Gaza’s distractions from the siege
