The Israeli and the Refugee

This is my latest article. It was supposed to be titled The Israeli and the Refugee but ended up being published with the log line: An Oct 7th Survivor Meets a Gaza Refugee. It follows Noy, whose brother Hayim was killed by Hamas on Oct 7th. (both of them had strong pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist views), as Noy tries to meet with Gaza refugee Alaa Jamal online.

The top photo is of Noy, their mother Hannah and brother Hayim.
The bottom photo is of the widow Alaa Jamal and her two children. The photos depict the discrepancy in wealth of both families that has been exasperated by the conflict.
