Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 3 sparks that I thought were worth starting your week with*: 

1. ✌️I am sorry I did not know your name before Dr. Refaat Alareer. Editor of Gaza Writes Back and Gaza Unsilenced, one of the founders of "We Are Not Numbers," a Palestinian non-profit set up in 2015 that joined writers from around the world with young people in Gaza to "tell the stories behind the numbers of Palestinians in the news". Your last video broke my heart..

 

2. ✌️ The strike. It's about time. Share. 

 

3. 💭 From the book I am still reading, Mornings In Jenin :

 

"We’re all born with the greatest treasures we’ll ever have in life. One of those treasures is your mind, another is your heart. And the indispensable tools of those treasures are time and health. How you use the gifts of Allah to help yourself and humanity is ultimately how you honor him. I have tried to use my mind and my heart to keep our people linked to history, so we do not become amnesiac creatures living arbitrarily at the whim of injustice.”  

―Susan AbulHawa

(Thank you Readwise for helping me find this quote from something I read)

🙏 Don’t forget that we can donate to support Palestine 🇵🇸. Jordan friends please donate to Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. 

* Note: To the best of my ability, I am trying to share content by authors who have not disappointed me, and they are hard to come by! Please let me know if any author I share about showed disrespect to Palestine.

 

 

 

See you next Sunday First name / my dear friend!
