Week 3: Lesson 3

Ramadan during Genocide

These past Ramadans in Gaza are unlike any other. We are observing this holy month against the backdrop of a live, televised genocide occurring in Palestine - where Palestinians do not have food for suhoor (pre-dawn meal) or iftar (sunset meal). This lesson is a painful realization of Palestinians’ past and current Ramadan experiences while under brutal Zionist colonial rule committing war crimes.

Take a stroll through Gaza’s famous Ramadan markets, with mouthwatering vegetables and the unmistakable aroma of fresh falafel.
