I want to begin with a personal question for the both of you, for the both of you.

We, of course, have been born and raised in a different paradigm.

And for us, the reality of Gaza, the Palestinian people, has been a part of our identity since our youth.

I mean, there's ever been a cognitive dissonance.

There's never been an alternative worldview.

But for the both of you, you had to overcome a different paradigm.

You had to understand that what you were taught was incorrect.

And then there was also, there must have been a personal cost as well

in which perhaps your family, your friends, are surprised that your transition to a different

understanding.

And it requires an act of courage and bravery.

So whatever you're willing to share, the question is to both of you.

Firstly, how did that come about, as much personal as you want to get?

And secondly, whatever you want to share with us, how did your family and friends receive this?

Because it must have been very awkward and painful. And here you are at the forefront of the Palestinian cause.

I cannot even begin to imagine your personal trajectories and journey. So whatever you're willing to share, you know, whoever wants to go first.

Oh, turn it on. There we go. Okay.

Thank you for that question.

In my case, I was raised with this belief that Israel is my homeland.
