This Is Why We Dance
2008, during the Gaza bombings my rituals of watching TV ran between grieving and Egyptian belly dance music: 😭😭😭
If hearing about a world other than yours makes you uncomfortable, drink sea, cut off your ears, blow up another town of bodies in the name of fear: 😭😭😭
My father told me: "Anger is a luxury we cannot afford" Palestinians dididik seperti itu sejak kecil😭 Motaz pernah bilang: kami nggak sempat berduka. Belum selesai menyelamatkan orang di bawah puing-puing, ada bom lain😭 belum lagi takdir. Mereka cuma bisa teriak hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakil 😭
This is why we dance: because screaming isn't free. Bahkan ketika kamu teriak, dunia menutup mata, telinga, dan mulut mereka 😭
