Poetry from Nasser

Yesterday, our team visited with a leader in a nearby village named Husan. This village was one of the places where the 1st and 2nd intifadas were active. As the 1st intifada was in 1987, this leader, Nasser, was a fairly young man and as time has elapsed and he's gained more experience and wisdom, he's turned quite firmly to non-violence as a way of life.

He's also quite poetic in his speech.

Here are three examples:
"This is our food. This occupation is what they feed us."

"We Palestinians want to give you a real flower, the real story, even if it's not perfect. It's better than the fake, perfect one."

"If you only look to the darkness, you only see darkness. But we tell [the women] to start the light."
