Thank you for writing this powerful yet personal essay, Ash. So much to comment upon …. As a Palestinian Christian I concur with everything. I experienced that coexistence with Muslim Palestinians growing up there. We were one people. And I experienced the checkpoints and the strip searches. Those were routine. And I feel isolated from America, who extol a Christianity of “power” and “glory” as opposed to Jesus’ clear instructions as to “humility” and “service”. I could go on and on but you tell a lot here. Thank you
