Stories of Palestine
Noor
[This post was originally published in 2021]
The occupation of Palestine continues. The oppression of Palestinians continues. As Open Democracy reports, 'The new Israeli government is likely to be more right-wing and harsher in its approach towards Palestinian Jerusalemites fighting to stay in their homes'.
We hold the Palestinian people in our hearts through their words - their stories and songs and personal histories. Palestinian literature has flourished in various genres and languages, persisting against censorship, blockade, occupation, and exile. .Here are some of our favourites.
[We've also reflected on the unfolding situation in Palestine this spring with two other posts: Palestine Solidarity : Stand with the families of Sheikh Jarrah; Palestine Solidarity : the time to act is NOW, don't look away These signpost resources, campaigns and books.]
