I am writ­ing this let­ter as news con­tin­ues to reach me of rel­a­tives, neigh­bours, and friends be­ing killed in Gaza.

It is high time Ger­many stops con­flat­ing Pales­tin­ian ac­tivism with anti-Semi­tism in an at­tempt to atone for its past.

If the world con­tin­ues to treat our sit­u­a­tion as ‘nor­mal’, it may soon be too late to save my home­land and my peo­ple.

Liv­ing un­der a lock­down in Eu­rope has brought back mem­o­ries of my child­hood in Gaza dur­ing the Pales­tin­ian up­ris­ing.

I know the cost of protest­ing against Is­rael and fear more Pales­tini­ans will die as a re­sult of Trump’s plan.

Child­hood in Gaza is a very real night­mare in­volv­ing poi­soned wa­ter, hunger, fear and end­less air at­tacks.
