our second meet up of 13 girls at Dar Alsadaqa
At another productive meet up of the women’s club at Dar Al-sdaqa
many topics were discussed between the girls
from simple to complicated , the conversation between was always on
Our main discussion was upon the “ Identity of the the Palestinian”
and how that definition varies from on Palestinian to another
our discussion touched on many aspects of the identity and what that means to each an everyone of us .
How the occupation is working on our mentality and how we think and feel towards each other, by deciding us geographically and naming us as “GAZA” , “JERUSALEM”. “WEST BANK”, “ FORTY EIGHT” , “REFUGEES” , and so on.
on the same context they are able to change how one from jerusalem can feel towards another from the west bank or Gaza , and vice versa .
It’s ironic and sad at the same time how the occupation is now able to control or manipulate with our feelings , where on a simple note such as falling in love , can never be easy if you are a Palestinian .
because if you and the one you love come from different parts of Palestine , then you already know what the consciousness of your relationship can be , where if you get engaged he might never be able to come to his own engagement simply because he is from the west bank - let’s say- and you are from jerusalem , and that alone is forbidden why? simple because he doesn’t have the piece of paper called ”Tasreeh” , which is a permission paper , that the occupation have decided for some Palestinian to ought to have it if they want to move freely in their own country .
on the other hand , the girls went on to discuss dimple ideas such as coming with a name to the group , that can be affective in Arabic as it can be in English .
Moreover we talked about IDEAS for upcoming projects of short films and videos that we would love to distribute on different social media platforms.
The meet up was truly productive and each and everyone of us had a good time in TAKING PART OF IT
