When the Israeli army occupied Gaza in 1967, her husband—my grandfather Ibrahim—wanted to leave Gaza and take refuge in Jordan. She refused. She told him that she was not going to “drink from the same glass twice.” She was not going to flee, or take refuge, anywhere again. She was staying in Palestine. Thanks to this strong woman, I was born in Palestine, not in a refugee camp outside it.
If i was not a Palestinian and I saw this happening, i would definitely wish to have been Palestinian — Ahmed (princekouta)
