Alhajhasan maintains that the coverage of Israel’s persecution of Palestinians is immensely important, particularly in showing the crackdown on ordinary citizens. However, she believes that showing the nature and culture of Palestine is also key to dismantling preconceived notions about the country.“There are already great platforms that write about the occupation, we want to show something else”, she says.“When we go somewhere and meet the locals, everyone is generally very generous and very kind, welcoming,” she added.
