Palestinian writer and playwright Samah Sabawi's new book, Cactus Pear For My Beloved, is shortlisted for the Stella Prize. Her response to an interviewer's question tragically sums up how inadequate language can be in the face of the horrors the world is allowing Israel to commit against her people. "I have no strategy for this grief. My state of mind resembles the Gaza landscape. Bombed beyond comprehension. My only survival tactic is to breathe. To acclimate myself to the idea that we, our stories, our homes, our loved ones, our lives, don’t matter." #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide @palestine
