Only in Palestine

In Palestine, faith is ocean-deep; Patience knows no boundaries; Sincerity soft-tactile and hope... sky-wide...

(LONDON) - Again our writer and poet Nahida Izzat delivers a combination of words and images that defy our expectations, humble us in their reality, and motivate us in their meaning.

Children and women facing down heavily armed Israeli Defence Forces; fighting without weapons an enemy intent on killing them all with few exceptions; a cold hearted, poorly trained band of thugs who sickeningly call themselves 'the most moral army' and that alone makes me so committed to exposing their war crimes, that are all taking place by design...

Palestine`s Story is Complex and Needs to be Heard

Israel imposes a siege on Gaza, the narrow strip of land where 1.6 million Palestinians “live” – they are actually held prisoner.
