Muna Hamzeh is a writer who spent eleven years living in a Palestinian r  camp in Bethlehem. Now she is back in the United States and finding it difficult to a  . She compares her life in the camp to what she enjoys now in Austin, Texas — the wide open spaces, c  with nature and, most importantly, freedom of m  . During her last two months at the camp there was frequent fighting, memories of which make her n   every time she hears or sees helicopters and ambulances. She is also angry at the fact that a lot of the Israeli m  equipment is actually made in the United States and paid for by US citizens through their taxes but that North Americans don’t seem to know about this, or to c  . She worries that this i   may result in another Vietnamese war, with young people fighting a war and dying when they don’t even understand why.
