Imagine what they are thinking: being allowed to go back to their homes wondering if their homes even exists. Knowing that at any moment, they could be bombed and massacred again. Will they have communities? Will their friends return or are they even still alive? Can they get comfortable or should they be ready to evacuate for their lives again? Should they try rebuilding or make it through the day with bare necessities? Should they bother building social relationships or prepare for the surprise loss?

Palestinian culture must be unique. Many peoples have gone through severe hardships. There have been wars and genocides. However, the Palestinians have been going through it for decades on their own land merely for being there. There are generations of Palestinians that only know what it's like to be the constant target of a decisively powerful and unapologetic violently reactive state that imprisons them inside walls and either destroys or takes their homes. They can only exist how they're allowed to exist as the involuntarily designated sacrificial target of repressed anger from the justified pain of another people, always branded as a threatening villain by the very same people that punish you for existing, you can't do anything but let time go by.
