“Sometimes I feel like I am the loneliest Palestinian in the world.”
Hamza Abu Huwaidi tells us the story of his upbringing in Gaza in the first decade of the second millennium, and about his family, especially his father.
Who taught him valuable life lessons while collecting oysters, and also taught him about the bloody battles between Fatah and Hamas, close to his home, and how terrorism overwhelmed life in Gaza. Years later, he protested against Hamas, was arrested, tortured, and forced to flee.Today he is considered one of the most important political voices among exiled Palestinians, yet he refuses to be drawn into either side, pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. This is a deeply personal book, offering hope and calling for a peaceful, democratic solution to the conflict in the Middle East. “A glimpse into a world that often remains closed to us. The power of its language reaches straight to the heart.”
