A personal story
Life has been quite tough recently. This morning I came into the office and a colleague, Alla, asked me how I was as I did not seem myself. We chatted for a bit.
Alla then declared that the whole office would be closing at lunchtime for the rest of the day and we are all going out together. Alla explained that Palestinians always ask lots of personal questions of each other, check up on each other and support each other. This partly explains how they have managed to survive this harsh and wretched occupation for so long and with such dignity.
It is my privilege to live and work amongst the Palestinian people.
