Overview

Palestine is personal for writer, Yahia Lababidi. His Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani- educator, activist & social worker - was forced to flee her ancestral home in Jerusalem, at gunpoint, some eighty years ago. As an Arab-American, Lababidi feels deeply betrayed by the USA's blind support of Israel's genocide of Palestinians. In Palestine Wail, he reminds us that religion is not politics, Judaism is not Zionism, and to criticize the immoral, illegal actions of Israel is not antisemitism - especially since, as an Arab, Lababidi is a Semite, himself. Using both poetry and prose, Lababidi reflects on how we are neither our corrupt governments, nor our compromised media. Rather, we are partners in humanity, members of one human family.
