While standing by the window with my toddler Hala, I saw a young woman walking past, proudly wearing a keffiyeh. My heart lit up. Without hesitating, I called out, “Nice scarf! Free Palestine!”
She smiled. I smiled. And in that brief exchange, something stirred in me—hope. I knew that my words or her scarf wouldn’t save the people of Palestine, but in that moment, solidarity felt powerful.
A few days later, I received a package in the mail: a beautiful poster, and on the back, the kindest handwritten note—from that very same young woman.
Thank you, .
Not just for the thoughtful gift but also for standing up for Palestine when so many still choose silence.
You reminded me that even small acts of courage can ripple outward.
You made my day.
