    1. Dr M occasionally covertlysupplies first aid kits and caches of antibiotics and contraceptive pillsat the request of these women’s delalas.

      does this mean the women say they don't want/need it but they do or? why covertly? is it not allowed to be given to them?

    2. The Asylum Health Committee placed Maria andher daughter in a hotel for 2 weeks after her COVID-19 diagnosis, asshe otherwise would have no space to isolate inside the shelter. DrL transported them there in his own car and provided them food anddaily check-ups outside his work with the clinic. There was no otherway to ensure they received the care they needed as a family and toprotect others from COVID-19.

      The only way this fully worked was because this worker volunteered his own time to help her- structurally this would've left maria vulnerable to spreading her disease or unable to get food for herself and her daughter

    3. However, in December 2018, the U.S.Department of Homeland Security implemented the Migrant ProtectionProtocols (MPP), also referred to as the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.Under the MPP, over 60 000 asylum seekers like Maria have beenreturned to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings.Moreover, MPP hearings have been completely suspended becauseof the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increased backlog in courtproceedings and leaving many asylum seekers indefinitely strandedin Mexico

      because of MPP protocol, people like maria who were mid case but staying in the us were forced to wait out their asylum case in Mexico- forcing asylum seekers to wait in oftentimes dangerous border cities with crowded shelters and camps

    2. For example, there is Jean Calder, anAustralian woman who adopted three handicapped Palestinian children. I firstgot to know her during the invasion of 1982—I came across her in a shelterwith these three handicapped kids, one of them clinging round her neck. Atthe same time, she was working with the Palestinian Red Crescent. I saw heragain in Khan Yunis in 1998, still with the Red Crescent, and still with thethree kids. If Jean isn’t considered a Palestinian mother, something is wrong.

      idk how i feel about this, she still won't be perceived as Palestinian...

    3. This is a symbolic role that Palestinian womenhave played since long before 1948. I think it says a lot about them that theymaintained it in such a dark period

    4. I learned far more from these visits than from Yusif’s immediate family,particularly about life in rural Palestine. I think it was normal for Palestinianfamilies not to speak about the Nakba at that time; it was not a topic ofdiscussion either in our home or in other people’s homes in Ras Beirut. I guessthat was the mood of families—a way to get on with life. Palestinians werepushing their children to make careers.

      Yusif's family seems to be ine that is trying to distance themselves from culture and history in order to economically and socially survive- i wonder what perspective shift when you get someone you're not as close to talking about these things or only having the people who are most willing to speak at the forefront- do we limit the view?
