I am so saddened by this news of Halimy's death, this beautiful and courageous young man who chose to connect with the greater world through the bridge of "normal" things even while constantly besieged within the profoundly abnormal world of severe oppression, profound scarcity, and unpredictable violence and cruelty he and all the Gazans/Palestinians are subjected to day after day, week after month after year, never knowing who's next. What a strong bright spirit he is among the countless strong, creative, life loving Palestininans, whether their gifts be like Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya or like the steadfast warrior Sinwar or the poet Refaat Alareer or Hamza Abu Qunais, the martyr's eulogist singing of the journeys between and living and the dead, so recently lost to us as well. The indomitable light of love and courage, beauty and faith takes so many forms and is so much stronger than death!
“A lot of you ask me why I plant,” he said to the camera. “Planting for me is a form of resistance, I bring life to earth. They’re taking away life, but I’m bringing it to earth.”
My deepest sympathy to "Medo's" family and his many friends. He touched so many of us and the whole world mourns him.

I just want Telaviv to become a parking lot.
