ABSTRACT
Friday night we hosted our first official IWPS Passover Seder in Palestine. Passover, a Jewish holiday celebrating self-determination and freedom from oppression, never meant much to me in the past, but this time was different. We invited Palestinian neighbors, Israeli activists, and other internationals to celebrate with us, and also to mourn the brutal oppression that continues today. Hannah handed out copies of an alternative Haggadah, 47 including the “ten plagues of the Occupation” in addition to the traditionally-referenced ten plagues from God on the people of Egypt. 48
