its hard to understand what a successful ceasefire with Israel would even look like. before Al-Aqsa Flood, Israel continuously barraged Gaza with air strikes. i did a search for ` "Israel" "air strike" ` narrowed by the date range 1/1/1970-6/10/2023 (ie. immediately before the war) and the most recent i found was an article about an air strike campaign in April of 2023. Israeli forces stormed Al-Aqsa, attacked Muslims praying during Ramadan and expelled them from the site. then some rockets were fired from Lebanon, and then Israel carried out a sustained bombardment campaign of Lebanon and Gaza. in Lebanon they bombed a refugee camp. in Gaza they bombed everything. hospitals, homes, farms and fields, military and training camps (Al Jazeera, 2023, click).

it's alarming that this was not considered an act of war. but it wasn't, because it was not abnormal for Israel. before that i find articles from 2022 (Le Monde, 2022, click), 2021 (Reuters, 2021, click), ... forever into the past. that's just air strikes. it doesn't include rockets, or jackboots. if you could negotiate a ceasefire with Israel, how would you even know if you succeeded?

there is no concept of peace with Israel. it will destroy everything around it or be destroyed itself.

⚫️ Saraya Al-Quds - Tulkarem Brigade:

—

With the sword [Al-Saif], we carve the path of martyrdom.

And the memory renews, the heart clenches with the departure of the leaders.

They are men who walked on the path of jihad,

Indeed, they drew us the path of dignity with blood and sword.

Two years since the departure of the sword that lit for us the path of dignity and steadfastness.

Indeed, patient, fighting, daring men who braved horrors have founded this path.

Peace be upon your pure soul, O sword.

Sleep with a clear conscience, for by Allah who raised the sky without pillars, we will not deviate from the path and we will remain loyal, God willing.

Jihad is a tale of dignity, chronicled by men,

With a continuous chain from the blood of the martyrs.

As Palestinians are slaughtered by the thousands in Gaza and violently attacked during night prayers in the al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel, the West Bank endures massacres that at times go unnoticed during this holy month. I have spent my Ramadan in conversation with a friend from Jenin.  Much has changed since I visited Aseel (not her real name) in August 2023. There are things I saw in Jenin that no longer exist. One of them is my friend’s smile and her spark.

Usually, they say Jenin is a small Gaza. During Ramadan, because the attacks generally happen at night, people are an easy target because they are on the streets late at night. In the past, it was rare for the IOF to enter during the day. Now, they attack during the day; their special forces enter, and after people discover them, their soldiers come within minutes.  Every 2-3 days, there is a new attack in Jenin. In our minds, there is a constant ringing that the IOF may come. We don’t know at what time we will be targeted or when they will enter. There is no stability in our lives. Even when we plan for something, we hedge it with our inshallahs and laugh. There are a lot of ifs. If they don’t enter the camp. If there are no martyrs. If there is no strike. On the second day of Ramadan, they attacked my neighborhood again. We thought it was a bombing because it started with an explosion, but the house was shaking. We were praying fajr, and everyone was screaming outside. The sound of the drone was in our ears. “No, these are missiles,” we realized. There was panic in the streets. Women fainted. People had been walking back from praying at the mosque, and some were still in the street. Alhamdulillah, no one was hurt, we say. The balcony to the room at my uncle’s house where we slept had fallen. It no longer had any glass, and a bullet entered my uncle’s bedroom and reached the kitchen. The drone hit the trees in front of our house. The missiles destroyed the ceiling, and the rockets reached my neighbor’s house on the first floor, exactly in front of our house. Since October 7, Jenin has become a target. There is a clear escalation in the camp and the city. The IOF has used many different weapons to kill us here. They have even been aggressive toward the infrastructure, as though every inch of our city was resisting them. They destroyed much of the camp, and there is no entrance now. The arch is gone, and there is no sign reminding us that Jenin refugee camp is a temporary place. There is no horse. Only the street is left. You have the photographs. You were lucky. They changed the shape of the camp, and everything has been destroyed. --Aseel

The first time Aseel and I met in person was in Nablus at the Martyrs Roundabout. As we caught up, we ate a delicious concoction of ice cream, milk, nuts, and fresh fruit that was a perfect balm to the heat. She took me to some of her favorite places nestled within the old city of Nablus. A 150-year-old barber’s shop that felt like you had entered an antique store where plants reached the ceiling and where the barber was a massive fan of Angelina Jolie. A centuries-old house now called Tree House Cafe looked like a hobbit home from Lord of the Rings, where we hid away as she sipped her coffee and I drank a mint lemonade. We visited one of the oldest soap factories in the world with ingredients such as goat’s milk and olive oil, jasmine and pomegranates, even dates and Dead Sea mud. We happened to chance upon a Sufi zawiya as we walked through a beautiful archway decorated with lanterns, light bulbs, and an assortment of potted plants, after which we saw a cobalt blue door on our left and an azul blue door with symmetrical red designs, and Quranic ayat like incantations on our right as doors upon doors greeted us.

The air was welcoming yet mingled with the memory of martyrs whose memorials took over the landscape, sometimes in the form of larger-than-life portraits surrounded by complex four-leafed magenta-white flowers; posters above a water spout next to a heart-shaped leaf; a melted motorcycle that, too, was targeted in the neighborhood that hosted the Lions’ Den. We stopped to pray at a masjid, quiet and carpeted. After a bus ride from Nablus to Jenin, on our walk before entering Jenin camp, Aseel showed me the hospital right outside the camp. She pointed out the barricades created to keep the occupation forces from entering specific streets. This is the same hospital that the occupation forces blocked during the July 2023 attack, which now seems like a lifetime ago.  What caught my eyes again and again were the two Keys of Return on top of the entrance of Jenin Camp that symbolized so much for Palestinians. “This is a temporary station,” Aseel read out loud to me. “That’s what it says. We are supposed to return to our homes.”

“Netanyahu said he is planning another big attack, so the resistance fighters are preparing because it can happen any day,” she had told me that evening as we shared Jenin-style knafeh, baked to perfection. Then she stopped, looked at the sky, and said humorously, “Ya Allah, hopefully not today!” And we both laughed because of its potential reality.  Dinner on the terrace at her uncle’s home was a delicious spread of hummus, laban, fries, cucumbers pickled by her aunt, and arayes — fried bread stuffed with meat. Then we moved the furniture to sleep on mattresses in a room that extended to the rooftop terrace with a breeze, overlooking Jenin Camp and the rest of Jenin City. We could hear gunshots in the distance. The drones were commonplace, and the heat did not relent. Temperatures soared, and the electricity was out when we woke up at 5 a.m. I heard her pray, and later, as we sipped on coffee and had wafters in the early morning at her home, my eyes went to a piece of tatreez, or embroidery, of a bird in flight framed on the wall. Her eyes followed mine and when I said I loved it. “It used to be my grandfather’s,” she told me. “Of course it’s beautiful — the bird is free.”  Unexpectedly, Aseel’s mother gifted me a Sprite bottle full of olive oil beholding the sweet hues of its intact health, which I would later ship secretly from Bethlehem all the way to Boston. And then Aseel came to me with a gift, too: a necklace that spoke succinctly about the right to return and live on this earth. Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry was held together with intricate calligraphy carved in the shape of Palestine’s landscape, and I was completely overwhelmed.  “You are in Palestine, my dear,” she had smiled. “And you are now my family. This is your country, this is your second home, really.” When I ask her about what brings her hope these days, Aseel tells me about her eight-year-old nephew.

He wanted to eat two meals. I told him that in Gaza they don’t have food. He was complaining about the food, and I told him, they don’t have water. And he heard me because he said, “today, we will only have one meal.”  I’m amazed at how mature he is. He even said, “We won’t make a special cake on Eid because of the Gazans.” For me, this is a lesson to be learned. He is only eight years old, but he knows.  We have lost a lot of people in Gaza, but here in the West Bank, we are succeeding because our new generation knows a lot. Ben Gurion would not be happy. He said of Palestinians, “the old will die and the young will forget.” No, the young ask even more questions. The new generation brings us hope. Hope is the new generation.

The Struggle of Conviction: A Pro-Israeli Voice in an all-Palestinian Family

The Struggle of Conviction: A Pro-Israeli Voice in an all-Palestinian Family

Date: October 16, 2023

In the midst of today's turbulent events, I feel compelled to share my deeply personal journey. At 34 years old, recently marking my 34th birthday, I reflect upon a life born into a devout Islamic Palestinian family. A life where the value of unity was instilled in me from an early age, but as time passed, it became increasingly apparent that my beliefs were evolving differently.

Interestingly, I developed a strong affinity for Christmas over the years – a holiday imbued with the magic of shimmering lights, grand trees, and endless decorating possibilities. This was a stark contrast to my Islamic upbringing, where Christmas had no place, and festively adorned trees were nowhere to be found. Yet, year after year, just outside my window, I would see my neighbors' beautifully adorned Christmas tree. Returning to school after the Christmas break, my friends and classmates would eagerly share their holiday experiences and gifts, while I silently grappled with the absence of such celebrations in my life. It was a challenge, but with time, I learned to adapt.

I certainly didn't fit the mold of the ideal Muslim. Failing to observe the fast-during Ramadan, for instance, led to a cascade of judgment and shame. From my earliest memories, my mother fervently impressed upon me the dire consequences of not meeting specific religious requirements, warning of eternal damnation. Within my family, an unspoken consensus had taken hold: I wasn't just destined for hell, but I was headed for its deepest depths. Neglecting to pray five times a day or to observe the fast, as my family believed, was seen as falling short of God's expectations. After enduring a ceaseless stream of such admonitions, I began to internalize them.

It was only after receiving a cancer diagnosis that I realized the futility of striving to meet my parents' religious expectations. I had to come to terms with the understanding that winning that battle was an impossibility. In those challenging moments, a mentor's words echoed in my mind: "Choose Life," inspired by the 1996 British black comedy-drama film "Trainspotting," directed by Danny Boyle. The day I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, alongside a tumor in my chest, I found myself in a hospital room, surrounded by Palestinians, my parents, and a host of relatives – some of whom I hadn't seen in years and others I had never met. It was in this pivotal moment that I made a defining decision.

In that hospital room, weighed down by my circumstances, I confidently marked the "Judaism" box under religion on the form. This form would pass through various hands, and the reactions I encountered in response to my choice were nothing short of bewildering. While judgmental looks were cast my way, I met them with a radiant smile.

In summary, my journey has led me to remission and well-being, but it has also exposed me to deep-seated prejudices within my family against Jewish people. Over the years, I've overheard my parents and relatives expressing derogatory remarks about Jewish individuals, suggesting that they were in defiance of God and deserving of their misfortunes. Growing up, Jews were often portrayed as an ominous presence, lurking like a shadow in the background. It was only when I learned about the Holocaust that I realized the long-standing fear-driven narrative that had persisted for generations.

Even before I had the opportunity to study World War II in school, I would question my father about Hitler and his actions. The explanations were consistently simplified: "The Jews were blamed for economic hardships, and people were suffering. What else could have happened?" This narrative conveniently omitted any reference to the complex historical context, including World War I and the Treaty of Versailles.

As I delved deeper into the history of World War I, I made a disconcerting discovery: the "stabbed in the back myth" had not faded into obscurity but had found a contemporary resurgence. This myth centered on the belief that the German Army's defeat in the First World War didn't occur on the battlefield but resulted from betrayal by communists, socialists, and Jewish individuals on the home front.

What struck me as profoundly unsettling was that, this time, it was my own parents who were articulating these beliefs. Though I could never fully comprehend the depth of this hatred, as someone who has endured bullying in life, I can empathize with the emotions involved. However, I firmly acknowledge that there's no valid comparison between the struggles I've faced and the enduring hardships that the Jewish community has historically and continues to endure.

With recent events in Israel on October 7th, I found myself grappling with a sense of shame regarding my Palestinian heritage. The scenes I witnessed were deeply distressing, with Hamas involved in brutal acts against innocent men, women, and children. The chilling cries of "God is great" in Arabic only added to the anguish. This experience has reinforced my belief that it is often the self-proclaimed "god-fearing" individuals who, paradoxically, perpetrate the most harm.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict transcends mere territorial disputes; it is profoundly rooted in religious differences. It has evolved into a religious war between Muslims and Jews, each side fervently asserting their faith. I've long perceived Islam as a demanding faith, one that places a continuous emphasis on submission to God. Growing up, I couldn't help but envy my Christian friends who appeared to have a less burdensome religious experience – attending church once a week and joyfully celebrating Christmas. It seemed as though they faced fewer challenges compared to my upbringing in a devout Islamic household, leaving me with the impression that they received more for less.

In conclusion, I find myself standing alone in my perspective, firmly believing that the Jews have a rightful claim to Israel, especially after the horrors of the Holocaust. While some may argue that the land belongs to the Palestinians, history suggests otherwise. Following the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Palestine fell under British rule. While the British made promises to both sides, the only promise that materialized was the creation of Israel. It's a historical fact. I've never shared my family's abhorrent antisemitic views, and I never will. I stand in solidarity with the Jewish people of Israel; they deserve their homeland, unequivocally. These words may draw criticism and hostility, but I'm undeterred. Antisemitism must be eradicated, and Palestinians must confront the historical reality.

Paris Pt 2

Oh terakhir sampai di Eurostar ya.

Iya keputus nulisnya karena kemarin pas lagi asik-asiknya nulis di ofis Mita nelpon terus berujung ngobrol sejam lah kami, dan karena pas beres ngobrol udah jam 18.30pm aka belom masak apapun di rumah buat buka, ku memutuskan untuk tidak lanjut nulis padahal lagi seru.

Eurostar!

Iya. Jadi kan selama hidup 29 tahun ini belum pernah naik Eurostar ya. Padahal udah sesering itu Perancis-Inggris, kayanya selalu either naik bis dan nyebrang di ferry, atau naik bis terus masuk tunnel. Baru perdana ni naik Eurostar. Terus karena ku mikirnya ah aman nih naik kereta, mepet aja lah ya datengnya, minimal 30menit sebelum departure. Departurenya tuh jam 12.13pm. Terus w masih mikir yang “ah nyampe 11.45am masih aman lah y, berangkat dari hotel jam 11 aja, naik RER cuma ganti sekali gasampe 40menit” TANPA BACA DI TIKET ADA TULISAN “disarankan sampai arrive in station 90-60 menit sebelum departure”. KEBODOHAN EMANG.

Terus pokonya akhirnya bangun jam 10am tu di hari Senin itu, dengan kondisi BELUM PACKING. Untungnya pas lagi showeran nyanyi-nyanyi tersadar “Hah ku belum memperhitungkan waktu jalan dari hotel ke statsiun RER La Defense yang bisa took 30menit sendiri!!”. Hamdalah akhirnya langsung gercep packing dan leave hotel at 10.30am. Itu make baju dan packing udah kaya lagi osjur tu heboh banget. Untungnya si RER ga berulah. Pokoknya kayanya sampe gate Eurostar di Gare du Nord tu 11.30am-an gitu lah. Less than 45mins sebelum departure. NAH TERUS baru tau! Jadi kenapa kita disuruh dating 60-90 mins before departure tu adalah karena BANYAK BANGET pass yang harus dilalui sebelum bisa naik kereta! Lewat imigrasi France, imigrasi UK, security, terus baru bisa ke boarding. Semua passes itu gaakan bisa beres dalam 30 menit sih karena ngantri kan. Yaudah untungnya dibantuin sama mba-mba petugasnya diduluin di imigrasi karena udah mau boarding kereta. Pas di imigrasi UK pake segala fingerprint w ga ada di record gara-gara ganti no passport kan. Untung ada email yang waktu itu ke VFS NL nanyain kalo no passport di appointment sama yang dibawa beda gimana, jadi masih bisa dicari tu no passportnya (karena ga w bawa passport lamanya kan). Hamdalah pokoknya jadi masih ada spare 10mins dari selesai ngelewatin semua checkpoints itu sampe ke boarding di kereta. Untungnya juga di kereta, sebelah kosong jadi mayan leluasa bisa baca novel dan naroh tas di samping.

Sampe London sempet galau mau ngereta ke Ox-nya atau ngebis tapi karena lebih murah dan gampang banget logistically kalo ngebis (kalo ngebis langsung bisa turun halte depan rumah, kalo ngereta harus ngebis lagi nanti dari stasiun, dan melihat bawaan w banyak gini pengennya cepet sampe rumah gampang aja) akhirnya pilih bis. Langsung nge-tube dari St. Pancras ke Victoria terus nungguin bis. Hamdalah by 16pm(?) kayanya udah sampai rumah Headington.

Udah sih habis itu istirahat aja kecapean. Lupa buka pake apa. Kayanya sempet belanja di Sainsbury dulu turun bis sebelum jalan ke rumah.

Besoknya Selasa udah diajak diskusi sama postdoc w jam 3 sore. Terus itu last week Selasa-Jumat betul-betul week terproduktif w selama 2023 kayanya. Produce banyak banget data baru. Ngelab terus. Apply visa buat France. Pokoknya banyak banget yang dikerjain sampe pusing dan mau muntah rasanya, tapi at the same time juga feel very proud.

Sekarang udah minggu ke-dua setelah Easter break, orang-orang udah pada balik kerja lagi. Perpus udah mulai rame lagi (karena udah Week 0 juga sih). Si data baru ini juga udah w lempar ke tim dan jujur masih belum siap ngerjain yang ini karena sisa-sisa kemarin juga masih banyak yang harus dikerjakan HUFT. But it’s okay Non, semangat! Pasti bisa!

Beberapa hari ini lagi nyiapin buat acara HBH juga ni w jadi PJ tempat lagi di Cohen Quad hari Minggu tanggal 23 April. Akhirnya berakhir juga Ramadan! Bisa kembali get my quality sleep.

OH sama satu lagi, berita duka, kemarin Caper meninggal HUHU. Sangat amat sedih, hari Sabtu kemarin cuma buat berduka aja. Minggu lumayan healing nonton Suzume di Odeon Magdalen dapet £7, dilanjut bukber di rumah Marcell (and picked up my TANAMERA!), beli ayam popeye ludes laku, dibikinin es buah juga sama Vassa dan Adnya, dibeliin rendang sama Angga, ada pizza juga. Widari bikin kueh enak. Alhamdulillah masih dikasih kesempatan sama Allah buat main.

Nanti lebaran plannya bantuin Bu Yani serving makanan di Wisma Nusantara. Minggunya HBH. Terus Senin ke London buat biometric appointment TLSFrance. Wow sangat busy ya schedule. Looking forward to it!

OH SAMA fingercrossed YAALLAH SEMOGA dapet visanya lumayan lama sampe 21 Juli jadi bisa balik ke Paris lagi buat nonton Lollapalooza (AAAMIIINNNNN).

Kemarin juga udah booked ticket CHRIS HADFIELD KE UK??? WAH seru banget sih, so far udah punya tiket Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye 8 Juli, Trevor Noah 23 Nov, terus Chris Hadfield (May yah/atau July?). 2023 BETUL-BETUL A BLESSING SIH. Ini ternyata rasanya hidup kalua ngga ada COVID. Makasih ya Allah sudah ngasih lewat COVID huhu. Amat sangat bersyukur.

Terus lagi banyak juga orang yang recently reach out to me terkait applying PhD ternyata selama ini belum pernah bahas detail, baru Jardine aja. Masuk list tulisan lah ya. Banyak juga sih yang sebetulnya pengen dikeluarin unek-unek, terutama setelah semalem habis makan bareng Kalina dan kami ngobrol banyak buangett. Next time lah ya.

Hari ini habis fangirling tulisan Nabilah (please do pay a visit and enjoy how she vividly described colors here adnabilah.com ) terus I wish I could write half as good??? Lihat aja contohnya post ini udah ngalor ngidulnya MasyaAllah. Ini otak w kayanya emang nggak terstruktur dengan sistematik apa gimana sih. Thoughtsnya saling crossing each other aja, messy.

Dah gitu dulu aja. Laper. Bye.

Apis Dates for Ramadan

Ramadan is a special month in the Islamic calendar. It is a time of spiritual reflection, increased devotion, and worship. Muslims around the world observe fasting from dawn until sunset during this holy month. Dates are an essential part of the Iftar meal (the meal eaten after sunset to break the fast) because they are a great source of energy and nutrition. Apis dates are a popular choice for Ramadan because of their unique taste, texture, and nutritional benefits. In this article, we will explore the benefits of Apis dates for Ramadan and why they are a must-have for this holy month.

Introduction

Dates have been a staple food for Muslims during Ramadan for centuries. They are eaten to break the fast because they provide a quick source of energy and nutrition after a long day of fasting. Apis dates are a type of date that is popular during Ramadan because of their unique taste, texture, and nutritional benefits.

 What are Apis Dates?

Apis dates are a type of date that is grown in Saudi Arabia. They are also known as Ajwa dates. These dates are unique because of their dark color, soft texture, and sweet taste. They are often used in traditional medicine in Saudi Arabia because of their many health benefits.

 Nutritional Benefits of Apis Dates

Apis dates are a rich source of nutrients. They are high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. They also contain essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B6, Iron, and Calcium. The high fiber content in Apis dates helps to regulate blood sugar levels and promote digestive health.

 Why Apis Dates are perfect for Ramadan

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset. It is important to break the fast with a nutritious meal that provides the body with the energy it needs. Apis dates are an excellent choice for breaking the fast because they provide a quick source of energy and nutrition. They are also easy to digest, which makes them perfect for people who have been fasting all day.

Health Benefits of Apis Dates

Apis dates have many health benefits. They are known to improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system. They are also a natural remedy for constipation and other digestive issues. The high potassium content in Apis dates for Ramadan helps to regulate blood pressure and promote overall cardiovascular health.

I'm now here to explain more about my abscence. I probably apologize for forgetting this site, my last art on here just dated back to June 2023 😭 I've been busy with life and school in general, and I'm more active on other socials. Idk why, I picked Tumblr today and now I'm going to see the changes here

I know I'm not super popular here, but I try to post here to avoid art theft maybe. In fact maybe I have this account only to avoid being impersonated in general...

And I have changed so much during the time I was inactive. I got into Nijisanji and other vtubers, and I also got back to my Sonic phase. Cool, right? Maybe I just wanted a space to kill time while fasting for Ramadan. Take care, Neyladachi.
