#gaza #survivor #stories

We continue to see rising the dizzying numbers of our people killed in Gaza. More than 43,000 and rising everyday, with the majority killed being children and youth under 19 whose dreams and future were stolen.   We wanted to tell the stories of those who still live. They live but only with the shadow of themselves, alone, bearing the burden of lone survivors with an uncertain future, knowing they have to carry through.  This short series co-produced with our long time partner and award-winning storyteller Bisan Owda, will count with 5 stories – hoping that Bisan and her team can continue to film given the current conditions.  We invite you to watch the first episode following Mahmoud, 13 years old and Tayseer, 6 years old on our YouTube channel.

Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, share the series with your network, and engage with our content to help us fight to end the genocide and ongoing Nakba on Palestinians

About

Rābet by PIPD, the Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy

Connecting digitally. Mobilizing towards liberation. Rabet is digital space for Palestine by Palestinians. A digital space that listens, engages and uplifts. We will share an unapologetically Palestinian narrative by centering Palestinian voices from around the world to tell our own stories, particularly those that are not heard and have been silenced for too long.

Rabet will celebrate the beauty and diversity of Palestinian identity, society, culture, food, art and politics, while challenging the systems of oppression and injustices that we face as a people.

We will remain PIPD as we continue to advocate for Palestine to shift discourse and policy with movements and decision makers around the world.

Rabetoo in Arabic is a call for steadfastness and sumud. As Palestinians face threats and fragmentation around the world, Rabet will seek to strengthen our collective sumud as a global, intersectional movement for freedom, justice, equity and rights for all.
