This injustice manifests in various forms, including movement restrictions, continuous home demolitions, and arbitrary arrests. *Movement Restrictions:* Israel imposes severe restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The Story of Ahed Tamimi: The Voice of Palestinian Resistance In the small village of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank, Ahed Tamimi emerged as a symbol of courage from a young age. Born in 2001, Ahed grew up in a household committed to peaceful resistance, with both her parents actively defending Palestinian rights against Israeli occupation. Her story began to gain attention when, as a young girl, she participated in weekly protests against the occupation and the apartheid wall in her village. Ahed would stand fearlessly in front of Israeli soldiers, her defiance captivating everyone who saw her. Photos of her shouting at soldiers or raising her small fist in their faces spread widely, turning her into a global symbol of Palestinian resistance. Day 10 In December 2017, Ahed made international headlines when she confronted Israeli soldiers who attempted to storm her home after her cousin was shot in the head with a rubber bullet. Ahed, only 16 at the time, stood in front of the soldiers and...

Day 8 The Story of Faris Odeh: A Symbol of Palestinian Resistance During the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000, the name Faris Odeh emerged as a global icon of resistance and resilience. Faris, a 15-year-old boy from Gaza, lived amidst poverty and oppression. Despite this, his heart was filled with a strong belief that the occupation could not last and that freedom was worth any price. One day, as Israeli forces were suppressing protests in Gaza, Faris stepped into the field holding a small stone in his hand. The scene was like a legendary painting: a small boy standing fearlessly in front of a massive Israeli tank. Cameras captured this moment, turning it into one of the most powerful images in the world. It showcased the stark contrast between an unarmed people fighting for their freedom and a brutal military force. But Faris was not just a photograph; he was a real-life story of courage. On November 9, 2000, Faris went to the frontlines again, as he always did, confronting Israel...

Day 7 Palestine: The Land of Miracles and Dignity Palestine is not just a homeland; it is a story of dignity and pride that refuses to be broken. It is the land that embraced prophets and wrote the first chapters of history, and today, it stands tall against attempts of erasure and displacement. Every day, Palestinians redefine the meaning of resilience. When electricity is cut off in Gaza, they light candles. When homes are demolished in Jerusalem, they rebuild them. And when they are surrounded by wires and walls, they dream without limits. The Palestinian people know no impossibilities because faith in their rights is stronger than any weapon. The Palestinian child doesn’t just carry a schoolbag but also carries the dream of return. The Palestinian youth doesn’t only seek a job but also seeks freedom. And the Palestinian woman is not just a mother or wife; she is a symbol of resistance and the maker of generations that do not bow. Palestine teaches us all that land watered with bloo...

Day 6 Palestine: The Bleeding Wound and the Beating Heart Palestine is not just a piece of land; it is a story of a people who refuse to surrender, a tale told across generations. For decades, Palestine has stood resilient with its land and people, despite oppression and occupation. The land of olive trees and thyme is more than soil; it is a narrative of struggle and unwavering defiance. In every Palestinian home, there’s a story of resistance: a mother who embraced her martyred child, a child who threw a stone at a tank, or an elder who still clutches the key to the home they were forced to leave during the Nakba. Every corner of Palestine breathes hope, even as pain carves its mark on the hearts of its people. Despite walls being built and barbed wires being strung, the Palestinian holds onto their land like a mountain rooted to the earth. In their eyes, you see the promise of a brighter tomorrow; in their soul, you hear the anthem of freedom. From Jerusalem to Gaza, from Jenin to N...

Free Palestine

Day 5 A Heart in the Embrace of Hardships Tries to defy them, yet death rejects him Weak, not knowing how to weep Young, unable to bear life's burdens I am slain upon the cross of my weakness So list me among the names of the fallen Do you know sorrow, or do you not? I and despair are but fragments of my grief Have you ever heard of a stranger Who sees death’s nearness as the highest gift? My estrangement is not my homeland, but rather A stranger in time and in nature I remember what has passed as time moves on And my past mistakes lead me to my past I hold back my tears while my soul collapses Gripping my chest with clenched hands So do not ask me about the past, for tales Of it kill me upon the pages Can we seek cover in the calm of the wind? When the winds bring no shelter to the naked Is a child bleeding near Jerusalem? And I, like a mule, accept these chains? On the ruins of Arabs stands a prison Built by humiliation from the flesh of captives We, as though among people, are b...
