SUMMARY:Love Under Apartheid
DESCRIPTION:NEW JERSEY\n\nPalestinians daring to defy apartheid with love.\
 n\nlove (n): 1. Strong affection for another arising out of kinship or per
 sonal ties\napartheid (n): 1. A policy or system of segregation or discrim
 ination\n\n"Love under Apartheid - Beginnings\n\nThe Love Under Apartheid 
 project developed after a particularly compelling conversation with a good
  friend about her relationship with her fiancé. We were having dinner whe
 n she shared her story\, detailing the difficulties of maintaining her rel
 ationship\, and concerns she and her fiancé have about the future. It was
  then that I fully understood the extent to which the Israeli apartheid sy
 stem affects individuals by restricting a deeply personal right: their rig
 ht to love.\n\nWhen we find a partner\, we think about our futures: where 
 will we live\; what kind of home we will create\; would we like children\;
  if so\, how many—but planning a future together isn’t the same for Pa
 lestinians.\n\nIndigenous Palestinians have been living under Israeli mili
 tary occupation for nearly 70 years now. Thinking about occupation histori
 cally and in the abstract\, we may not comprehend the extent to which it a
 ffects the most private and intimate parts of Palestinian lives. My friend
  and her fiancé have already managed to defy the apartheid system by meet
 ing\, falling in love and becoming engaged to be married. These were huge 
 obstacles to conquer\, but even more difficulties lay ahead.\n\nAfter refl
 ecting on my friend’s story\, I became outraged that\, because of the Is
 raeli occupation\, she couldn’t be with the person she loved. I knew her
  story was not the only one of its kind\, and proposed we collect those of
  others working to resist the apartheid that has defined and directed thei
 r lives.\n\nIn a place where love is made nearly impossible\, these storie
 s hope to capture singular moments of love in struggle. I hope you’ll wa
 tch the videos\, share them with friends\, family and loved ones\, and joi
 n us in defending the right to love."\n\n-Tanya Keilani\n\n
