- These are improvisations: neither a manifesto nor a treatise because life is too complicated for either. Yet, I'm improvising as an Arab--Palestinian-- woman with a progressive point of view always under construction. I use these improvisations to think out loud, so never take any post as my last word on a subject but think of it as the beginning of a conversation.

Amal, thanks for this striking piece, and revealing a little more about yourself.
as always, kinzi, you're welcome.
why do you assume it was a husband or brother? why assume it was due to her crying/deafness/disobedience? why even assume it was the result of 2nd party action?
when i read the piece, considering what she went through add to that a 'violent' argument (whatever that entails), my first thought was suicide...
could be anything. maybe it was an accident: she just fell on the knife. that would be the best assumptions then we don't need to blame anyone, except of course the stupid knife that got in the way.
