About Humanize Palestine

Humanize Palestine attempts to restore the humanity that is often stripped away when Palestinians are reduced to calculative deaths, forgettable names, and burned and mutilated bodies, rather than people who shared loved ones, stories, dreams and aspirations.

Old Damascus city scenes

Scenes from old Damascus, including the Umayyad mosque
Culture and history overdose in a short space of time. Definitely an area that begs repeated visits.
Wandering around the mosque, I met a variety of women, children, men. Some women picnicking in the mosque’s courtyard asked me to join them; two kids, Majed and Ghelia (“expensive”) befriended me and accompanied me around, also gave me a short interview.
