Two Palestinian writers on the right to share their stories
Briefly

In the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the ongoing conflict has resulted in the death of tens of thousands of Palestinians, sparking rallying calls for a deeper understanding of their stories.
Palestinian voices often feel excluded from narratives surrounding the conflict, as their humanity is compressed into headlines and visuals rather than detailed, personal experiences that reflect their realities.
Poets Fady Joudah and Tariq Luthun endeavor to reshape the dialogue about Palestine, providing a platform for expressions that encapsulate the complexities and resilience of their people's stories, countering the oversimplified portrayals in mainstream media.
The need for a ceasefire is underscored by the devastation inflicted upon civilians, highlighting the broader implications of conflict beyond political borders and emphasizing the shared humanity that often gets overlooked.
