This is deeply personal. I share it - while fighting to stop the GENOCIDE of the Palestinians - only because I trust it may help others. *** I came back from Germany hurt, traumatised. I realised it because an uncharacteristic "anger" suddenly transpired all over, from interviews to engagement with family and friends. So not me, I felt unwell. At the pick of it, this book literally fell over my head (a lady gifted it to me before my last SOAS lecture last November). Not the book I would normally read. I read it. It has been pure enlightenment. Calm is back. Anger has disappeared. I forgave the German authorities for bullying me. But I cannot forget how they - and other political systems - are bullying others. That is impossible. **** The struggle for human rights (against dominance and bullying in all their forms, from patriarchy, to settler-colonialism old and new, and imperialism old and new) will continue, in Palestine and beyond. And it will be as easy as BREATHING, cultivating peace at every step. If we understand it, we will make it.
