Hello What is Sumud? Sumud means to live under a hard political and economical situation, and it plays a big role in our life. i.e. refugees who were forced to leave their hometowns and live in other cities, they suffer a lot but they are samdeen. Also, refugees who were forced to leave Palestine, they are hatred and they live all kinds of suffering but still they are samdeen. For example, my family is a refugee, we live in Gaza, but our real hometown is Jaffa, we suffer yes, but still we are better than other families, and we are alive and samdeen. Let me tell you about small examples of sumud, students who graduate from universities and they don't find jobs, but they try their best to help their poor families, even if they sell tea or coffee in streets. Other examples, people who try to travel, people who haven't seen their families since years, people who lost their lands, homes, towns, children, and so on. Let me end with thing that we live it nowadays which is lake of electricity. We stay without electricity for long hours a day, no fuel, no gas for cars, cooking, electricity, and so on. Hence, sumud is not a part of our life, it's the life we live itself, but, we are samdeen, strong, and we will fight till we get our freedom and homeland back. # Palestine will be free #.
