I used to think I was completely unbiased towards Israel and its affairs. After all, I have lived my whole life in Canada. Although I have been raised as a Jew and a Zionist, my parents are well educated and have taught me to believe that clarity and politics never coexist.

I don’t mean to, but every time they walk in, I find myself thinking, “What if…” I know that the
ones who have done it have usually been from the other side of the line, but they say themselves
that they are the same on both sides of the line.

The angels descending
and ascending.
Soldiers walking on water.

A short poem by Sa’ed, a Palestinian living in the United States, in which he reflects back on his life in Palestine and yearns for the day to see it at peace
