Ramallah - Post Report Question and Answers
Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
Of course, no question about it, yes. We learned something new every day and made good friends. We had many visitors and everyone has loved coming here and seeing both the beauty and tragedy of Palestine. It hasn't been easy to live here. The occupation is hard to witness as a bystander expat. It affects the people here in profoundly negative ways. It casts a shadow over every business transaction, friendship, plan. Everything is political--absolutely everything -- and it can be very draining because it goes back to sadness, loss, humiliation. You can't not be moved by seeing the daily heap of injustice piled on this group of people. You can be impressed by their patience, fortitude and dignity. - Dec 2013
