A shop front had already pulled down its metal shutters, and above it I saw an arm frantically closing a window.
What's that? I said.
Skunk water, sId Jenan
A putrid smell was already reaching us.

Something Rotten in the State of Israel: Palestinian production of Hamlet caused international stir.
Arab-Israeli sibling collaboration on West Bank production provokes Israeli outrage.

Forget about it my love. Palestine is gone. We lost her a long time ago.

We are a good family. My great-uncle fought with Qawuji.

Be careful. I'm watching the news. May God destroy their house.

There was a shelf of poetry collections at the bottom. Samih al Qasim. Baudelaire. A critical anthology of the Symbolists.

And in the end, onstage, most pain reads the same. You sort of only need one bad thing to happen to you and you're set for life.

Take the afternoon to yourselves before the drive back. She said this to everyone, but we knew it was for Wael, for whom, as a West Bank ID holder, even a famous one, a few hours "inside" was not an occasion to be taken lightly.

Palestinians in search of an audience had become comparatively good at finding one.

How long to drive from top to bottom, do you think? Golan to the Naqab.
I mean-
Without checkpoints. In a perfect world.
I don't know. Six hours, maybe.

Our backs have been broken. You know that, right. You know they've won.
If they'd won they wouldn't need to keep bludgeoning the Palestinians. We haven't won but it doesn't exactly look like they've won either.

There used to be whole families who informed for the Israelis, like a family business.

Usually you can tell who they are, said Ibrahim. Someone gets a promotion he didn't deserve, or suddenly has a lot of money and a new house. They say all the informants from the West Bank get retired to Jaffa. It's shameful.

And with that we had drawn into the room the long frail story of our sisterhood, and all the petty crimes committed, the cross hatching of intention and advantage and betrayal. #Hammad23 #IsabellaHammad #EnterGhost๐๐ฆ

Passport, I said. I was frightened of what would happen when they saw I was Arab.

I'm not from Manchester, I'm from Leeds! said the soldier. And I'm here defending my people. Now get back in the car.
Defending. Disdain and outrage made me spit the word, compounded, I suppose, by the fact that he was half my age.

Come back, Sonia, come back, the crucial thought swooped through my mind that the soldier might suspect I had a knife, a suspicion I knew was grounds for shooting to kill, and although my ability to pass as a foreigner might offer me some protection.

Ay-ay-ay, said Mariam. Be prepared for a long drive.
One foreign national with an Arab name, two Palestinian citizens of Israel and one West Bank resident with a temporary permit sit in a car with yellow Israeli plates approaching a checkpoint.

The instability there is something else, she told me. Itโs not a place to raise a child. I mean, of course they raise children but if you have a choice- it's horrible. It's a constant battle, constant vigilance.

educated as he was enlightened as he was,had been raised and lived almost the entirety of his life in Hebron the most besieged city of the West Bank,albeit, granted, outside the old city and out range of the pics and trash the Israeli settlers threw down at the streets #Hammad23
It saddened me that she might think I required soothing. But perhaps I did require it.
#Hammad23 #IsabellaHammad #EnterGhost๐๐ฆ
All of this means that in the end you, or at least the middle classes are less likely to fight because the despair has been relieved, momentarily, and perhaps our Hamlet would be just another version of this narcotic and what, if anything, could we do about that? #Hammad23
she went on to explain her theory, which she presented as truth, that when you read a novel about the occupation and feel understood, or watch a film and feel seen, your anger, which is like a wound, is dressed for a brief time and you can go on enduring #Hammad23

The audiences here were mostly bourgeois and Christian, she said disparaging, even though this was arguably a description of both of our backgrounds.
