We went over many aspects of Palestine, such as the history, culture, occupation, struggle, and more. I have always loved my home, Palestine and I always wanted to learn as much as I possible can about it. This course was exactly what I was expecting and more. It really opened my eyes, and made me look at Palestine in a new way.
