Naksa is not only a moment in history, but an ongoing process of spatial fragmentation and control. From the West Bank’s carved-out enclaves to Gaza’s accelerating confinement, Palestinian space continues to be continuously redesigned, confined, and restructured.
We must tell stories that are different from the ones

Not only is another world possible; she is on her way.
On a quiet day I can hear her breathing."

The question is no longer whether we support human rights or not. The question is whether we are willing to act in their defense when it matters most. And today, it matters most." Rifat Kassis speaking on the importance of the International church engaging with the Kairos II doc
ان تُقتل امرأة في عمر الزهور، ويحاول القاتل تمويه الجريمة بثوب "انتحار"، فهذا وجعٌ مضاعف وظلمٌ لا يمكن السكوت عنه. محاولة اغتيال الحقيقة بعد اغتيال الجسد هي جريمة ثانية بحق الضحية وطفلها الذي لم يتجاوز العامين. ⚖️

لو دفع لي أحدهم مليون دولار وقال لي: “سمر، قدّمي ما يمكن أن يشرح للعقل المسيحي الأمريكي حقيقة ما يحدث للمسيحي الفلسطيني وما يجري على الأرض في فلسطين”، لما استطعت أن أقدّم عشر دقائق مثلما فعلت هذه الراهبة.
I will never forget Anas when he cried bitterly in front of the camera, and people around him shouted, “Keep going, keep going, you are our voice.”
Today, we have lost our voice.
All of Gaza is crying for your martyrdom today.
We will never forget you Anas. Mahmoud Qaddoha
