The season for harvesting the fruit from the Palm trees is under way. When picked from the tree they are called Balah later dried they are called Tamer or in English: Dates.
Beautiful Gaza
Waiting for life-saving medicine to be delivered from the tunnels.
Waiting for the morning sonic booms from the F-16's to rattle my shutters.
Waiting for the constant buzz of the drones to end.
Waiting for the tat-tat-tat of M-16's as they shoot at unarmed fishermen.
Waiting for the leaflet telling me to evacuate.
Waiting for the ground to shake from another deadly air strike.
Waiting for the next death notice and funeral.
Waiting for Israel to recognise we too are humans.
I wish we had a Harvesting season, we get our dates from all over but we do have palm trees but don’t think dates grows on it 😦
