There is this expression in Arabic that “every people live in their country” but for Palestinians “our country lives in us”. Most Palestinians live in exile and many have never been to Palestine - in some sense it's this mythical place. I'm lucky in that I've been able to spend a large portion of my life in Palestine on the ground."
