A May scene from the legendary Ramallah, Palestine!

Ramallah: The de facto administrative capital of Palestine

I got the fortune to enter Palestine recently! It felt like home! I am excited to share the pics which I captured there. The first thing you notice while entering any Palestinian region is that the toilets will have a bidet like in Gulf/India etc. It's like your typical brown land, unlike the white world.

Ramallah: Historically a Christian city

This means you get alcohol, even pork meat, etc in the city. And lot of Christian buildings too.

Ramallah, this May (Nakba 75 and Shireen Abu Akleh)

It was the first anniversary of Shireen's murder at the hand of Israeli security forces. And it was also 75th anniversary of Nakba, the catastrophe. #nakba #nakba75

Al Nasser Mosque: Legend has it that when Anwar Sadat came to IL for getting back Sinai from them, arabs got annoyed and assembled peacefully in this mosque which was named after the friend and predecessor of Sadat(Nasser)

Darwish museum

Darwish rests here!

Now you guess

Final Thoughts

Ramallah felt home for me! Because I think from the perspective of the underprivileged. White hegemony has to stop! Hopefully all the powers sit together and solve the issue. This is not a Islam-Jewish or terrorist-legitimate_state "conflict"!

Thank you!

This is a blogging project I am going to undertake. I have not mentioned it before. But I will be writing about my travels in the region, Palestine, Israel , hypocricies from both sides, power/privilege-asymmetry between 2, corruption, history, visual data analysis, etc. About the region and issues. Thank you.

Also, I have started a discord server. For those interested, join it: https://discord.com/invite/2rQG2JYyJp
