“The annoying young man”, this, in short, is the young journalist Saleh Al-Jaafarawi (25 years old), who is best known for saying: “I am not afraid of (I do not fear) death...”. This is who he is to the vengeful people who hate anyone who exposes their claims, that is, anyone who reveals, from the ...

Deliverance of the City
After the Divine Service on Sunday, one of the young men who help in the altar rushed to me. He was holding his phone open to a website publishing news about the Saint Porphyrios Church, in southern Gaza, the annexes of which had been demolished by Israel, a month ago, on its residents. This is ...

A few days ago, a friend of mine handed me footage showing Israel’s destruction of fishermen’s boats on the shore of the Rafah sea. I would not be mitigating the injustice of what Israel is doing in Gaza today if I said: I was not surprised by what it did. I am not limiting myself ...

When I saw them screaming in a Gazan dialect I was familiar with, from old neighbors: “I want my mother and my father”, the older child (about 9 years old) was carrying his little sister in his arms. I did not see the person they were addressing with their shouting. Was he hiding himself? We ...
Read moreMasters of Murderousness
With every passing day since the aggression on Gaza, Israel intensifies your conviction that you are lagging behind in terms of the atrocity of its murderousness. The scenes of murderousness resounding in it expose those who, in the world, are sleeping on the pillow of the narrative that the aggressors are merely defending themselves! Who ...

I have a friend whose news are interesting. She does not like Lebanon. No, rather, she says that she does not love Lebanon. A few days ago, she had to travel abroad for about a week. On the eve of her travel, she told me: “At a time when no one can know the fate ...
Read moreA Helpful Repentance
No phrase is more cunning than “the two-state solution” that was proposed by the Security Council for the Arab-Israeli conflict following the 1967 war. Israel is not a state, but rather an agglomeration that was founded on usurpation and murder. It usurped land that was not its own, and since settling in it, it has ...

A few days ago, I went to my library. I wanted a book, the reading of which would keep me in Gaza! First, I looked for Metropolitan George Khodr’s book “Al-Quds”, the introduction of which was written by the poet Mahmoud Darwish. I did not find it. I looked for another book, about “Prophecy and ...

A little girl, almost ten-years-old, was forced, by the aggression on Gaza, to remain for four hours under the rubble. What is her name? I do not know. Yet, I know her. I have seen her. I have heard her, and I believed her. When she was pulled out from under the rubble, she reported ...
Read moreThe Olive Tree
Only those whose ancestors' narratives are inhabited by the land can understand the meaning of “the grandmother”, with which Mahmoud Darwish had described the olive tree. The olive trees tell ancient stories about “my folks” who had been here, who had planted them, and who had been sustained by their fruits and by the meanings ...
