FALCON POWERS – These aspirations were not just hollow slogans, but a real wish that the 40-year-old American citizen Tabitha Tebya, who lives in Bellevue, United States, is striving to achieve through her participation in events and activities in support of the Palestinian people and against the Israeli crimes in the Palestinian territories, especially in the Gaza Strip.
The American activist does not hide her pain from the lies and misleading information that are spreading about the Palestinian people, considering that what is happening now is very different after the lies have been exposed, and the world has awakened to the horrors and occupation of the Palestinian people and the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against them.
Tebya points out in a special interview that many Western media outlets were hiding the facts or publishing them in a distorted way that was detrimental to the struggle of the Palestinian people, elaborating that she remembers how Palestine was never a source that was discussed enough and correctly in the news until the recent revolution and the exposure of the falsehood of the Israeli claims that some Western media were promoting.
The Israeli crimes and massacres against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have led to the launch of events and demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and the establishment of their independent state, and to stop the Israeli crimes against children, women and the elderly in the Gaza Strip.
The American activist says that when the war started, she immediately went to the marches and activities for Palestine, and she also participated in many protests as well as a visit to the arms director Adam Smith who represents the state of Washington, where she traveled to Washington, DC to participate in the national march for Palestine, and we traveled on 6 different planes there and then returned only to stay in the capital for one day, considering that her real work actually began when she started putting up pro-Palestine banners in Bellevue, Washington on the highway last January.
The American activist was not spared from attacks by groups supporting Zionist crimes and Zionist groups, until she was attacked by Zionist groups who tried to prevent her and her friends from conveying the message related to Palestine. They did not only harass them, but the matter reached the point of physical assault on them on more than one occasion, and attempts to influence the authorities there by working to stop their activities, but they did not succeed in that yet due to the proliferation of many people, especially women, to stand against Israeli lies and misinformation.
Tabitha says: “I am honored to participate in these events with wonderful and beautiful sisters like Nadia, Amani, and Diana. These women have been true examples of love and friendship, as they have taught me never to surrender and how to fight together for what is right. They are true examples of humanity and compassion. Without them, I would be nothing. We are very excited to stand in the face of genocide and the horrors of this war, and we are committed to seeing a liberated Palestine, and we will not stop until we do that.”
As for Ethan, Mrs. Tabitha’s son who is not yet eight years old, he did not hide his sadness at the killing of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip, which prompted him to participate with his mother in activities and events in support of Palestine and against the Israeli occupation, including his participation in pro-Palestine marches, as well as raising banners condemning Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
Tabitha sees that her son Ethan is honored by the presence of a beautiful Palestinian teacher named Iman, whom he loves and appreciates greatly, and she has helped Ethan in ways that most teachers have not, and this illustrates the beauty of the Palestinian people, reminding that if you feel pain, you are alive, but if you feel the pain of others, you are human.
