What a moving piece! Thank you for sharing. The kindness you received within two Arabic societies, Palestinian & Iraqi, mirror mine, minus the harrowing times. I have lived among Palestinians, and I know with what little some families & individuals had, they graciously shared with me. Palestinian hospitality & appreciation of me by my students will always remain some of my deepest memories.

Thank you for sharing such a personal story about kindness from those who have represented in the media as the opposite. Your experience there serves to show the truth about Palestinians.
