"What the fuck does Maysoon know about #Palestine? Who is she who dares to speak?" I grew up spending every summer of my life in Deir Debwan, a Palestinian village on the outskirts of Ramallah. In non pandemic years, I live part time in Palestine. I own a home and land.
My land is currently being threatened by the settlers who have outgrown Beit El. I married and later divorced a man who was born and raised in a refugee camp. He has 5 brothers. All 5 have been shot by the Israeli army. All 5 survived. One of them is #autistic. #IsraelApartheid
I spent a decade working on the ground in Palestine. The focus of my work was the mainstreaming of the disabled and wounded children into the #Palestinian school system. I also pioneered stand up comedy in Palestine. These are my people. My actual family lives under seige.
Its like asking what I know about Jersey.
Oh and I shoot and produce my web series in #Palestine and pay my local team the equivalent of 1 yrs salary there for a month of work. maysoon.com/watch-me-now/s…
