It was January and I didn't know it
got cold in the Middle East.
So I didn't have a coat and I
remember walking down the street in Ramallah and
an old lady in a hijab looks at
me and she says something in Arabic and
then she grabs me by the arm and
I'm like, okay, is this a granny kidnapping?
Is this how it happened?
And she took me to her bedroom, opened
a wardrobe, took out a big overcoat, put
it on me and said, yalla.
And I'm like, poor what?
She wrote down her number and said, there
you go.
And I'm like, what?
I could just walk off with this coat.
She could not bear for a stranger to
be in her town and cold while she
had a coat in her cupboard.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Allahu Akbar.
And everywhere I went, there was such a
softness, such an ability to make the best
of things.
Children killed by the army, homes taken by
occupiers, just the daily neglect of their areas
and the oppression and they were like, salam,
peace, how are you?
Have some of our food.
You know, sahteen.
They had this hookah and I asked them,
why are you so generous?
And they said, it's that book.
It's the Quran.
Allah will make things okay.
