I left Palestine last week, and I'm back home now. There is still a lot to process, and I feel like I'm in a transitional dream period that doesn't make any sense. There are still some things I want to write about for this blog, so maybe I will post more soon. In the meantime, this is a video I made in my first few weeks in Palestine.

I went to an Israeli beach at the Dead Sea (on Palestinian land) with a bunch of internationals and Palestinians, just a week or so after I arrived in Nablus. Tourists go and pay Israel money to visit this beach, probably completely unaware that they are in Palestine. I mostly sat in the shade and read and watched the weird tourists walk by, covered in Dead Sea mud. Majed, a Palestinian from Nablus who would soon become a good friend of mine, was listening to music and I asked him what he was listening to. He handed me the headphones, and it was Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I listened to it as I watched the beach, and I was inspired to take some video footage and make this.
