In 2026, the fear for my Palestinian-American grandchildren looms large, even as they embrace their American identity. As proud adopted grandparents of three children from Gaza, we witness their resilience amidst trauma. Their father, a political refugee, embodies love and justice, having survived unimaginable hardships. This narrative intertwines our shared histories, highlighting the tragic irony of suffering. We strive for a just peace, honoring our ancestors’ struggles while dreaming of a day when we can travel together to a free Palestine. Join us in exploring the complexities of identity, belonging, and the quest for peace in a fractured world.
