Update

Dear Reader,

I have exciting news.

Distressed as we all are by the horrific situation in Gaza, I decided to break the chains of helplessness by training with the Iqraa Running Club in DC to run a race in the fall. 100% of the donations to my campaign will go to United Palestinian Appeal’s Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship Fund. For no added cost, your donation inspires my team at Iqraa and I to keep going and support each other through these difficult times.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Details below ...

With love,

Ramsey Hanhan

Thank you for your donation:

Ramsey Hanhan at the Gaza 5k

Dear Reader, As the Catholic world awaits a new Pope, and Pakistan and India brace for a new war, 290,000 children in Gaza face starvation because of a two-month blockade that Western governments are supporting. It is not accidental that “hostilities” are erupting in South Asia at the same moment the Russia-Ukraine war is coming to an end. Weapons manufacturers, who nowadays include big tech and big media, need to keep the business going. The narrative is written in favor of war because the...

Ramsey Hanhan's book Fugitive Dreams at the Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem, Palestine

Dear Reader, … and February has run into March … where is the newsletter? In the interest of getting my upcoming book on Gaza ready for launch (soon), I’ve been taking a hiatus. Further, when I returned from Palestine in Oct. 2023, I emptied miscellaneous items in my suitcase into a laundry basket that has remained untouched since. The hiatus is also giving me time to unpack that figurative laundry basket and resume everything I have suspended for the last 16 months, including my grief (see...
