This was a difficult issue, because our hearts and minds are fully consumed and agonized and occupied by what’s going on in Gaza, Palestine. It’s very difficult to think about, or talk about, anything else.
We’ve all got to do our part in raising awareness, educating people who might not understand what’s really going on, and putting pressure on governments around the world to do the right thing.
Our watermelon cover titled ‘Nowhere to go’ will make more sense when you read our ‘About the Cover’ message by the artist Azra Khamissa and the article explaining why the fruit has become a symbol of resistance. We have dedicated pages to Palestine, because that is the best way we can amplify the Palestinian voice of culture and heritage.
