When I lived in the West Bank, I always felt trapped and insecure. However, all of the above does not mean that the situation in Minneapolis is comparable to the one in Palestine. In the West Bank, Palestinians live under a brutal apartheid regime. Since October 2023, at least 1,000 West Bank Palestinians have been killed, one in five of whom is a child. In other words, the situation in Palestine is dramatically worse than what’s happening in Minneapolis, and it’s problematic to compare the two.
