I could never have imagined myself drawing parallels between my refugee camp, Nuseirat, in the Gaza Strip, its heroic people, and a Hollywood movie - the struggle of my people is too sacred to make such comparisons. But I couldn't help it as I watched the latest instalment of the Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay.
A feeling of anger initially overwhelmed me when I saw the districts destroyed by the heartless rulers of the Capitol. As I watched the movie, not only the resistance of Palestine, but particularly that of Gaza, was on my mind.
The Capitol - with unmatched military technology and access to an enormous media apparatus - was unstoppable in its brutality. Its rulers, who claimed to have superiority over all the inhabitants of the dystopia of Panem, had no moral boundaries whatsoever.
