In my heart, I travel there all the time—to my spiritual home, my birthright, the heart of the Palestinian people: Jerusalem.

My homeland has been an imaginary place as long as I’ve lived. I’ve never been able to actually go there.

I’m ok with not being able to visit any other country, but shouldn’t I be able to visit my own?

My grandma finally got to visit Jerusalem…Will I have to wait until I’m 60?
