As a child, she resembled a doll; I often carried her to the small shop around the corner. Do not cry for me, I am strong, but share the truth. Know the truth.

Remember her name, Ahlam, which means dreams. Ahlam has left us, and now you are left with a choice: to be on the right side of history or otherwise. There is no other option.

I wrote about her a few weeks ago as she became sick due to a lack of food and water. After a week, she was hospitalized, and today, she surrendered, a victim of the starvation war Israel has waged on Palestinians.
