Welcome to Palestine.

Yes, Palestine is a physical space, a land, an ancestral homeland, orange groves, olive trees, and human beings around tables of food. Human beings. But I am not welcoming you to that aspect of Palestine. I do not have the authority to. For right now, no Palestinian does. We are limited in offering you our famous hospitality, due to occupation, displacement, detainment, aerial attacks, land theft, and yes, dear family, murder.
