EBOOK - Keep Telling of Gaza, by Khawla Badwan and Alison Phipps (READ PALESTINE WEEK ONLY)

Keep Telling of Gaza, by Khawla Badwan and Alison Phipps. From Sídhe Press, shared by special arrangement for #ReadPalestineWeek (November 29 - December 5).

“We refuse to take refuge in cynicism. We refuse to settle with the commonly used sentence to refer to Gaza: there are no words left. We do not admire those who shred truth and profiteer from propaganda. We know the difference. We take it upon ourselves to find words even when our words are fatigued, repeated, exhausted and overused. We refuse to state that we ‘are so tired’ but instead to find words every day. This is our task. We are workers with words. Many of our words amplify the cries of wailing mothers and fathers, screaming children, and horrified witnesses. As we sit with these horrors, we respond in poetic cries that are stunned and stunning.”
