“Open Letter to the World” Zeinab Abdelgawad Epistolary

“Open Letter to the World” Zeinab Abdelgawad’s CreativeRationale:

Iwanted to spread more awareness for the people in Palestine and be the voice for the people who have been silenced. I've always liked talking about human rights and what's happening in Palestine is messed up. People aren't posting much about what is happening and other people are taking advantage of it because they want to get famous. But spreading awareness isn't “fame, ” it's called having humanity and standing up for what you think is right. “To stand with Palestine is to stand with Humanity” . This has been happening for over 5 decades with nothing on Palestine's side, no army to help, no weapons to defend themselves. But yet, till this day, Palestinians are fighting for their rights and for the freedom they deserve. They would be protesting knowing they are risking their lives--knowing that at any point an Israeali soldier could take away their lives. This recent awareness about Palestinian struggle and the recent attacks prove how ppl aren’t ready to accept the truth. So I'm writing a letter to the world to tell them about it and show how Israel treats them. And a letter is more personal than just an informative paragraph so it makes the words more heartfelt and meaningful.
