Board member of Filastiniyat and advocate for the disabled
The Palestinian people have their own history, culture, and traditions. We are normal people; we don’t cook bombs in our kitchens. Palestine is beautiful.

I want people to dream of visiting Palestine not only as a holy place but to enjoy the beautiful culture, language, and music. [...]
