Palestine is gorgeous, Ramallah is a thriving culture rich city.
Almost exclusively media shows the aftermath of what is encroaching into this ecosystem of life.
But it's rich with food, soil, resources, culture, song, stories, people and love force energy.
So special and so sacred, yet they have been living with dishonoring and desicration for the last 78 years.
It's such a precious thing and I feel kin ship deeply.

Recently I passed through the scrutiny of the IOF (Israel Occupying Forces) as I travelled from Jordan to Palestine.
I have 90 days available to me and have paired with an activist group who are Palestinian led and feel of high integrity and alignment.
The role I will be volunteering as is called protective presence. This organisation is run and paid for by volunteers, including myself. Some of you who have already contributed / commited to assisting me to come and stay here, for which I am so so grateful.
In addition to using my privileges of being ''white'', australian, English speaking, male, university educated, charismatic, atypically masculine, etc., ... ;
I have upskilled in several domains; emotional/physiological co-regulation, interventionist body work and natural medicines.
I feel like we are all here and able to contribute. Being witness to palestinians alone, as a people is of huge value to them.
I hope this thread inspires you to some clarity amidst the distortions. May it also inspire you to change hearts radicalised to only see the "complications" and not the complicity.
I will have more information to come and I am unsure how long I will continue to use Meta.
Thank you to @northernrivers4palestine and each of you amplifying this share.
