Opinion: A year after the Great March of Return, Palestinians are still fighting for freedom
Asmaa, 23, holds up the Palestinian flag at a protest. By Ahmad Abu Artema March 30 at 6:00 AM Ahmad Abu Artema is a Gaza-based writer and one of the organizers of the Great March of Return.
One day, as I walked through Gaza just before sunset, I was struck watching the birds fly freely from tree to tree over the fence that separated us from Israel. I wondered aloud why I couldn’t move freely without being stopped by walls, guns and checkpoints. For more than a decade, Palestinians in Gaza have been isolated in a huge, open-air prison. We cannot leave to study, visit family or friends, travel and see the world — and, except at brief intervals, the world has generally ignored our suffering.
A U.N. report has found that Gaza may be uninhabitable by 2020, which is just months away. Many say we’ve already passed that point. This is no way to live. We have nothing to lose, so we must keep struggling for the better world we know is possible.
