I visited Palestine/Israel in 1981 at 18, spending a few months as a kibbutz volunteer, visiting relatives, and traveling. What I saw, conversations I had with Palestinians and Israelis (including my bigoted cousins), and the utter hypocrisy of Israeli society hit a nerve.

I understand this so deeply, because I, a Jew, was aggressively interrogated on the same question by so-called friends when I dared to call for a ceasefire and to call out Israel's wanton devastation of Gaza and its people. You have every right to grieve as you grieve, period.

I was fortunate to read her early work on intersectionality in grad school in the early 1990s, though I don’t know if I really *got* it back then. I find that many people, my students included, throw the term around casually, without really grasping its nuances, or implications.
