Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life Under Occupation by Cate Malek
For more than six decades, Israel and Palestine have been at the center of one of the world’s most widely reported yet least understood human rights crises. In Palestine Speaks, men and women from the West Bank and Gaza share their personal stories and experiences of living under occupation.
The collection includes eyewitness accounts of the most recent attacks on Gaza in 2014, providing a firsthand perspective on the devastating effects of the conflict. One of the stories featured is that of Ebtihaj, a mother who lost her son during a night raid by Israeli soldiers almost twenty years after he was born during the first intifada.
Another powerful narrative is that of Nader, a professional marathon runner from the Gaza Strip who refuses to let the occupation hinder his dream of competing in international races. Despite facing countless challenges, including severe travel restrictions and a lack of resources to help him train, Nader remains determined to pursue his passion.
Palestine Speaks offers a unique and intimate look into the lives of those living under occupation, giving a voice to those who are often silenced in mainstream media. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the ongoing conflict in the region.
