Ramadan Mubarak.

What should be a time for the people in Palestine to spend joyfully with their families is still a nightmare. Resources like food, water, and medicine are still scarce and bombs are still falling on children in tents.

If you have the means, please consider donating to my friend Hamza during his and his family’s time of need. They have had such a rough go of life, and could use the help, especially during the holiday. If you can’t donate please consider reblogging — everything is helpful!!

Today I read an article by Dalia Abu Ramadan, a young Palestinian writer, published in Truthout. It is a powerful piece about how the Gaza genocide has impacted community and faith practices in these months.

So this is what Christmas will look like for my Christian neighbors: no celebration, only prayer, and painful remembrance of their beautiful past celebrations... I know firsthand what Christians in Gaza endured during the genocidal war. Many of them were killed, and they lived exactly as we Muslims did, for the war targeted every living thing in Gaza: humans, animals, plants — even the stones were not spared by the occupation... The holy month of Ramadan approaches in February, and all of us who are Muslim ask ourselves: What will it be like this year? Especially since the Eid holiday follows immediately after. This is Gaza — a place where the suffering inflicted by Israel robs religious celebrations of joy from everyone, without exception.
