Facts
There is an Arabic proverb that says, “Falseness lasts an hour, truth lasts until the end of time.” Perhaps that is why Gazans are so fond of education and memorizing figures and facts. Let out your inner Gazan by studying some FACTS. And remember that any and all forms of allyship and support are limited if they are not founded on knowledge.
Faith
In Gaza, faith is the guiding force that shapes Gazan life and the thread that weaves together the fabric of Gazan culture, instilling hope, perseverance, and unity in the face of adversity. People oftentimes note Gazans’ seemingly inhuman strength and their astonishing ability to persevere no matter what; what they fail to note, however, is the source and that is FAITH.
