Not sure what to write about … but here goes.

I wasn’t raised in Palestine, nor am I from Palestine but somewhat about Palestine makes it a special country. My association to Palestine comes from my faith, Arab background and human sympathy for what has happened in the past 60 or so years. I grew up in a family that was really enthusiastic on what happens in Palestine like every day for as long as I can remember. My dad loves Hamas and you can see it all around out house, we have picture a picture of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Palestinian flag – if you see the house you would think we are Palestinians.

A little story, I was sitting in class and one of the people in my class notice I have wrist band with “free Palestine” (look at the image below)

Him: You’re Tunisian in it?
Me: Yeah
Him: why you got a Palestinian wrist band?
Me: (Glad he knew what country … saves me explaining) because I have sympathy to what has happened.
Him: Yeah, but you’re not connected with them.
Me: Yeah I’m … Arab, Muslim and human
Him: I’m Christian, you don’t see me with a wrist band supporting some other country
Me: It’s different
Him: How?
Me: I don’t know

Just two more words … Free Palestine. This is part of the Blog about Palestine day
