Most days, I live in a state of mshahar.
Mshahar is a word in Palestinian dialect, specific to Gaza, that means miserable or terribly unlucky. It’s the feeling that bad luck is chasing you all the time. My mom keeps saying that we’re a mshahar generation – we were born when life was collapsing. It describes Palestinians perfectly because war and agony never fail to leave us alone.
Israel broke the cease-fire in mid-March and the war was back, though it was never really over – over a hundred people were killed by Israeli attacks during the “cease-fire,” and the drones never went away.
