Stranger in My Own Land: Palestine, Israel and One Family’s Story of Home is an incredibly moving, powerful story that will move all besides die-hard supporters of Israel, who won’t listen to any message incongruent with their perspective. Fida Jiryis tells her story in a deeply personal way that brings up nearly all the issues relevant to what has and continues to go on. She humanizes and criticizes many, including Arafat, Jewish Israelis, as well as fellow Palestinians, including herself. Jirysis has a perfect right to be bitter and angry.

“I’m here to discuss YOUR White Male Privilege …!” White boy – Get Off your A$$ !! Goodbye Toxicity – Let’s Join the Others, Already Working Towards Necessary, Systemic Change I N T R O D U C T I O N This writing focuses upon cis-gendered, upper-middle class white men in the United States (USians) who want real systemic equality . The United States needs (positive) radical systemic change. We recognize the “Joe Bidens” as our leaders. Behind the scenes, the real work has been, and continues to be, done by the others who are not powerful, wealthy white men. Black women (basically) elected Joe Biden. Black women did most of the significant (basic, core) work that resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights laws of the 1960’s.
