Knew, or Didn't Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Gaza City podcast Haki al-Blad published a conversation last week with Jamil Abd al-Nabi that runs just under three hours. The first two are biography and argument: a childhood in Block 13 of Jabalia camp, a brother killed in 1971, the turn to Islamic Jihad in the late eighties, two decades in its political apparatus, and the long intellectual exit that followed. Useful material, and I would have written about it elsewhere.The last hour is different. At 2:09:35 the host, Youssef Fares, turns
The Painful Invisibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few days ago I spent some an hour on the phone with a friend in Gaza.Before the war, our conversations were a kind of luxury.

I Am The Conflict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I introduce myself at speaking engagements, I usually say: “My name is Jaser Abu Mousa. I am Palestinian. I was born and raised in the Gaza Strip.”Only after leaving Gaza did I begin to understand that it was also a biography not merely a geography.I left for the first time at around forty. By then I was not a young man discovering the world. I had a wife, four children, a career, habits, fears, friendships, and a fully formed idea of what normal meant. Perhaps that is why leaving taught me
