Plug Your Work: Rebecca Gould Published A Testimony From A Girl in Gaza

For The Nation,  Rebecca Gould, a Study Hall subscriber,  helped translate and published a first-hand testimony by fourteen-year old Lujayn of Gaza, in which she describes the destruction of the home where she was sheltering and why she resists occupation through her words. From Lujayn’s testimony:

“I don’t know if the war will stop while we’re still alive, but what matters is that there are many people resisting with what is more important than weapons. Every day, a father walks under bombardment to feed us. A mother stands against bulldozers and tanks hoping to protect her daughter, knowing that even if she dies, what matters is that her daughter will live. A grandson carries his grandmother and never thinks of leaving her behind for even a moment. A sister pulls her brother out from under the rubble, away from death, and tries to save him.

Mom, this is my country, this is my people. Every generation of Palestinians will pass these lessons onto the next.”
