Thank you for posting this. I don't believe that anyone who has never lived with the terror and abasement that Palestinians (as well as many others throughout the world) suffer through daily, and for generations, can truly understand what she is talking about. Read this with an open heart--as it was written--and try to put yourself in her place. There are no falsehoods here--she is powerfully describing the reality of her world. We, as part of humanity, should be ashamed that we are allowing ONE person to feel such pain, such suffering. I am not clear what everyone is arguing about here. Shouldn't we all be looking inside ourselves and saying, "No one need be hungry or live in fear." That is what we should be focused on--how to end the misery this woman describes.
