(BETHLEHEM) - It has been over three years since I returned to Palestine from living in the US for nearly three decades. Those three plus years in Palestine have been truly phenomenal and inspirational. I took time to change and update the lessons I learned from life especially from those three years (and from >30 years of activism). https://qumsiyeh.org/lessonslearned/.
