As a person married to a Jewish man who was raising Jewish children… you hit the nail on the head. We lost everything - the entire community we once had, all because we could not support the blind Zionism. It is so hard to explain to our kids why.

I am Iranian and my dad and his family are very staunchly pro Palestine - growing up I thought that was typical for Persians. I learned that was not the case this year - it’s made for some real awkward conversations. But I understand the trauma on all sides. I have hope other Iranians can work through the complexities and see things for what they are, even as they fight for their own liberation.
