The fourth part of the series, “Identity Without a Homeland” starts to unpack the meaning and attributes of Palestinian identity today, given the experience of 60 years of dispossession and refugee status around the world. Taboo subjects, such as the role of refugee camps, the usefulness of citizenship, etc. are debated by those who live with the consequences of decisions taken about these matters.

Dr. Helen,I had an excellent talk with an
acquaintance (from my local political club) last
night. We started talking because his family,
like mine, fosters kids. He got involved in
fostering because a friend of his teenage son was
being emotionally abused and neglected by his
alcoholic parents. It takes a lot of stones to
take in a teenage foster kid, even if you know
him (my wife and I foster a little four year old
girl). In my eyes, this guy is on par with a
marine or a fire fighter for what he's doing.I'm
not a big fan of the government-as-parent, but
there are legitimate times where someone with
authority has to step in. We as individuals
can't save a whole generation of kids, but the
more people who step up to the plate to help out
one kid, the less of these horror stories will
happen. Maybe not everyone can handle a teen,
but there are thousands of kids who start out in
the system practically from birth.It doesn't take
a village to raise a child. It takes loving
parents, one set at a time. Many more people
have the abilities to raise foster kids. We
need more.
