Saleem Alhabash recounts his experiences of growing up in Palestine during the memorial gathering "Remembering Gaza: A Prayer for Peace" on Sunday, the one-year anniversary of Israeli attacks on Gaza. The memorial gave attendees the opportunity to reflect on the more than 1,300 lives that were lost during the conflict, primarily those of noncombatant Palestinians, and openly discuss the situation and policies in effect in Gaza today.
