One of the greatest heroes of our time, I cannot even begin to imagine the heartbreak of leaving after bearing witness in the way Motaz has done. ❤️ #FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW #MotazAzaiza
So,
I had to evacuate for a lot of reasons you all know some of it but not all of it.
Thank you all

A brilliant, touching piece. Thanks for writing this @abdallah_fayyad 💚👏
I wrote about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and where the “cycle of violence” begins—not with a single attack but by slowly and methodically, over the course of generations, vanquishing all hope among innocent people who have never known freedom. bostonglobe.com/2023/10/11/o…
I'm so excited and proud to announce my film Walking Two Worlds is now available to watch online! This was a real labor of love, from pitching the concept and then diving into directing, producing, and writing a documentary film for the first time.
