This is an extraordinary piece to writing that frankly should have been picked up by a Sunday Supplement. Such an important reminder that at the heart of the Palestine dispute there are everyday families cooking food for their children and every night they go to bed dreaming of obtaining the most basic human rights like running water or electricity. The best they can dream of is not to be woken by people demolishing their homes in the night by the name of another God.

Thank you for writing this.

Thank you for ‘seeing’ us.

As an Australian with Palestinian heritage, you made we weep reading your beautiful article.

I was searching for a recipe to recreate something for my Mama!

We Palestinians are not a shadow of how we are portrayed in western media.

Resilient and ever hopeful of freedom in the daily face of oppression.

Stories such as yours make our hearts beat with pride. God bless you!
