Went through another checkpoint today. We pulled up to it, and they had the routine initial questions: Them: “Who is with you?” Us: “Americans.” Them: “We’re going to check.” So they boarded the bus. Machine guns, attitude, and settler colonial privilege.

An Attack on Al Aqsa

We survived an Israeli attack on Masjid Al Aqsa today. I was excited to attend Jummah prayers at Masjid Al Aqsa. Access to the masjid is ordinarily restricted so that everyday Palestinians cannot attend prayers, but those restrictions are lighter for Jummah prayers.

We Are Stronger When We Connect the Dots and Fight Together

Israeli soldiers boarded our bus at a checkpoint today. They were wearing uniforms, carrying machine guns, and had attitude. Their stated intention was to examine us. Their actual impact was to intimidate and terrorize us.
