I have not posted regularly here in a while but this blog is nothing if not a love letter to Palestine, its people, history, and culture.
So if you are someone who is not sure where to start educating yourself about what’s going on or if you have friends and colleagues who keep coming to you with questions or asking for documented credible resources to get informed. This post is for you.
In it I tried to compile a list of interviews, videos, books, journalists on the ground, authors and creators, a simplified and short summary of the history, and other resources I hope will help shed light on the reality of what is happening and what has been happening for the past 75 years.
If you have more questions, please reach out to me,I would be more than happy to provide you with more resources. If you have suggestions on things you found helpful and would like me to add to the list, my inbox or comment section is always open
