Writers' responses to Gaza genocide
Palestinian writers faced the genocide war in Gaza through literary production that reflects their personal and collective experiences, aiming to document this historic moment. Poets composed poems amid the bombings, and these poems served as testimonies of survival, such as Rifa'at Al-'Arayr's poem, which became a global memory. Poets like Hiba Abu Nada creatively preserved the names of the victims through their works. In prose, novelist Atef Abu Sef recorded the war diary, documenting the destruction and devastation. Old texts, such as Mahmoud Darwish's poems, were transformed into means of reviving memory. Additionally, the destruction of cultural institutions threatened the cultural archive, prompting Palestinian writers to use writing as a tool to continue the Palestinian narrative and to make Gaza's voice heard on local, Arab, and international levels.
