Saftar

Originally written as an article and published in September 2024 on Marginalia Subversiva, Saftar: A Wound in the Human Story captures the immense grief and silences left behind by the erasure of Palestinian lives. The title, drawn from the Arabic roots of "Saftar"-meaning both "journey" and "torn"-reflects the heartbreak of lives cut short, stories that will never be told, and the relentless loss endured by Palestinians. Through vivid and poignant prose, Story leGa e transforms personal anguish into a profound tribute to those missing, abducted, and erased. Seventy-five percent of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Gaza Soup Kitchen, supporting families impacted by ongoing violence. Saftar is not just a book; it is a memorial and a call to hold space for those silenced by oppression.
