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.
