I am looking. I am looking for liberated people. I look and look and I find no one. It is Passover. Pesach. A holiday formed to commemorate liberation from oppression. It is with a scarred and sad and heavy, no, leaden heart, that I watch people who are MY people commit massacre upon massacre unchecked and then JUSTIFY it. All during the holiday of Pesach. A time to acknowledge those who are not yet free. And a time to free them. At my home Passover Seder, we used to remind ourselves that no one is free until we all are. My parents no longer say that; now, they say “Next Year in Jerusalem.” And I say nothing, if I am eating with them, because I do not feel entitled to Jerusalem. This year, I led my own Seder. It was rough and unstructured and done the disabled way, with cooking taking all day so I could take breaks. I had a different Seder plate, with watermelon and pomegranate on it for women’s and Palestinians’ rights. I stare at the watermelon. I know my parents would disown me for this. The watermelon stares back, I am broken.
