Early Life
A Farming Family
"I think [my father's] focus will be only, of course, his wife, the children, farming, and life, but not world politics."
Text
“I grew up in [a] small Palestinian Arab village 25 miles northwest of Nazareth. My dad was a farmer and my mother, a housewife, but she helped in everything. I have five sisters and two brothers. It was a small neighborhood. Everybody knew everybody. The majority were Palestinian Arab Christians.”
