My latest piece on PDD is FINALLY OUT—please enjoy the read, dear folks!

Just dropping by to ask this to every writer fighting with a pen instead of a gun:

How do you write when survival is a full-time job and your mind is stuck in queues and rubble?

Thank you, Yusuf Elmbayed for your words. We are a lot in West thinking the Palestiniens are so unimaginable brave.

You are holding the candle, fighting for humanity in this world - I am deeply sorry for all the violent inhumane disorders and sufferings you are living in.

I have made a copy to give to other.

Thank you Yusuf for your great writing. Your voice is being heard and read in many parts of the world - we haven't, and never will forget you, or stop doing all we can to amplify your work. I have several friends who are also professional writers and I have passed on your piece to them to read. Like me, most of them are people of Jewish heritage living in Britain who are utterly committed to fighting for justice and peace for Palestinians. Please keep writing!

I care & am reading your words, feeling so helpless & heartbroken for Gaza. Impressed by your discipline & determination to keep going. ❤️

Your words are powerful and meaningful and you are right, they are the ultimate resistance! They drop like seeds and grow like forests.

Sending you solidarity, strength and love. We are fighting for you over here.

Your words are powerful, and remind me of moments when writing felt impossible to me. But perhaps it is the writing that saves us. Keep writing, however you can. It is survival. And life.
