I can’t believe I won the @WeAreFootnote and @CounterArts Writing prize for my family memoir, Wait for Her. I am over the moon, but it’s hard to celebrate while my people are subjected to a genocide. May this book be a way to keep talking about Palestine.

Imperialism and environmental destruction have always gone hand in hand. If you are outspoken about the climate crisis and the environment but stay silent about what’s happening in Palestine ( or in Congo, or in Sudan) then you are not at all working towards a greener future!

Colonialism destroys a people’s ability to sustain life on their own land. It is ecologically destructive. For this reason, people say that colonialism caused climate change. This is what genocide looks like in Palestine.

News and images come from #Palestine and I don’t know what to do. I feel completely powerless. My father says ‘write’ because this is what I do. But writing takes time and #SheikhJarrah and #Jerusalem and the #WestBank and #Gaza need help now! The only things I can do is...

This resonates so deeply! How long I have been scared - and still am - of people’s reaction to my Palestinian identity. All my life I have experienced the violence against, the sexualisation of, the dehumanisation of my identity.

For real, one of my earliest memories is worrying about how to tell people where my dad is from. He was born in Palestine, just west of Jerusalem, 10 yrs before Israel was a thing. I didn't want to lie, but I knew I would make the grown ups angry if I told the truth.
