...long quest for justice—and throw it into that little space in my brain reserved for those fantasies that reality and logic discourage. But then the latest chaos in Gaza came up on the news, only to remind me of the reason why I chose this path of speaking up for Palestinians.

...bottom of the slope, a path worn by unseen animals leads to a perfectly circular stand of trees sucking water out of the salty white gypsum.
