It's Christmas, and I want to share something with you all. This is a reflection I wrote about a vigil I attended on Saturday for Refaat Alareer and Palestine's fallen storytellers.

Today on Christmas Day, Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha publishes his account of his abduction & detention by Israel recently in The New Yorker. He's said it's the most important thing he's published. If you read it today it will be one of the most important things you read.

Following Hamas’s October 7th attack and Israel’s invasion, Mosab Abu Toha fled his home with his wife and three children. Then I.D.F. soldiers took him into custody.
