Let me start at a beginning: my father was born in Gaza. What, then, is my claim to Gaza? One year later, his family moved to Kuwait, and he spent every summer of his childhood in Gaza. He was born in Gaza because the other villages – places of farming, of almond trees and grape crops – were eradicated. Then I go to a holiday gathering and spend two hours trying to convince a woman why withholding water in Gaza is a war crime.
