It never crossed my mind that the “Before” images imparted a wonderful impression of Gaza to people. If the images were special to me, it's due to my emotional attachment to specific spaces.

Romanticizing life in Gaza is a grave injustice to our suffering — to the disfigured reality we have been trapped in for decades. However, you cannot fault Palestinians from Gaza who share photos and videos on social media of a prettier, safer reality which might give the impression that all was fab and dope! Compared to what we are attempting to survive, life in the besieged, poverty-stricken Gaza was tremendously better. Anything comes off well when compared to genocide.
