What a wonderful account of that evening!!! As the other protagonist in the story, I'd like to mention that after my flight was delayed by five hours, I was prepared to call it. But you wouldn't let me even consider it, telling me to just keep you posted on my progress. Thank you!
Oh, and one small correction-- it hasn't been a year since you were radicalized, it's been a year since you were DEradicalized!!
I've always admired your lifetime political activism, but that you opened your ears, eyes,heart & mind to reading outside the deeply entrenched Kool-Aid history of Israel & Palestine , especially as a Jew and a Jew"of a certain age", I literally HONOR you for your "radicalization". The root of that word literally meaning radix/root....and roots are what feed and nourish life and in this case, our minds- in essence is nourishing our minds to hear & face the truth of this history. I highly recommend the book "On Palestine" by MY hero, Noam Chomsky -the most brilliant mind of the century & a Jew who has written & spoke to these issues since 1948, and IMy heart swells Ilan Pappe.
And my heart SINGS that you & Julian shared this incredible experience, bringing joy to heart,even in the midst of profound sadness & horror.
Thank you for such a soulful beautiful detailed story Donna! It warms my heart to hear you tell your experiences with your Julian ! I have to admit I do t pay enough attention to the horrific events happening in Gaza . Thanks for the enlightenment ! Peace ☮️
