We may be this or that in any number of categories. Categories of race, culture, belief, gender, sex, and so on and so forth. Yet we all bleed, all of us. Turk and Armenian, Palestinian and Israeli settler, Pakistani or Indian, and the same is true across religions and cultures and linguistic groups and so on and so forth. So we are all Palestinians in this universal sense, that we are the same species and the same in so many fundamental ways.
So what do we do with this commonality, with this sameness, with this principle of applying the same rights to all of us, all of our fellow humans? We embrace it with some hope and some zeal.
Who benefits? Those who need it the most the most, but all of us benefit from substantial justice for all.
