I have an article in this month’s Foreign Policy in Focus.
Please check it out.

Their promo for the piece:

Artist and activist Ellen O’Grady provides a snapshot of life in the Occupied Territories in Visiting Hani’s House. Accompanying the powerful text are O’Grady’s equally compelling drawings, which document her discussion with Palestinian activist Hani Abu Haikel. He tells her of his meetings with Israeli young people. “I showed them a video of settler and soldier harassment. I swear when many left they were crying. They said, ‘We did not believe the Israeli democratic government could do something like that.’ They stayed two hours talking, even though we only scheduled a half hour. This is how I fight: not with a gun, but with words, through sitting down and talking.”
