I consented to Osama and Forat buying non-kosher meat, but no one asked permission for the sodium phosphate and corn starch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cAnd which animal do they kill to make hamburger?\u201d Forat asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cCow. Unless it\u2019s a turkey burger and then \u2013 turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cAnd what about chicken?\u201d she asked, using the English word. \u201cWhat do they kill to make chicken?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cChicken,\u201d I answered, and when Forat appeared confused, I added the word in Arabic, jajeh, to help her connect the chickens we see pecking and squawking in the courtyards of Ramallah homes to the drumstick that appears on her plate. Ever since she was small, I have been open with Forat about the source of the food she eats, to encourage her to make informed decisions about whether it\u2019s ethical to eat animals. So far, she thinks it\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We have been in Raleigh two months, and Forat is enjoying American food. Her school serves her sugary breakfast cereal, chocolate milk, hamburgers and lots of other processed and sweetened foods that she could only dream of getting at home. In-person school resumed recently, and cafeteria meals are a bright spot for Forat. She\u2019s dealing with gaps in her English literacy preparation and is struggling to make friends, in a situation in which she\u2019s supposed to keep two meters away from the other children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Osama is eligible for a vaccine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For Osama, the United States brought news even sweeter than Forat\u2019s junk food: eligibility for a COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine roll-out in the U.S. is slower than in Israel, but Palestinians like Osama are not eligible even for the excess vaccines that have accumulated in Israel, some of which have already been sent to Guatamala and Honduras. Here in Raleigh, his turn came before mine, because he smokes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I registered him at four different vaccination web sites, and one day he got a text message asking him to report to a huge high school that had been turned into a vaccination center. We drove along wide roads, past huge houses and the magnolia trees that symbolize the American South. We felt expanse, so different from Ramallah. At the school, the clerks and vaccinators, all women, sat at orderly work stations. At the last stop, a polite, quiet nurse named Joanna explained the process and then rolled up Osama\u2019s sleeve and jabbed him with a syringe. We continued to the observation area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cDo you know how many months you would have to wait to get a vaccine in Ramallah?\u201d I asked Osama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThe trip here was worth it just for this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3506\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3506\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3506\" src=\"https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ummforat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/raleigh-vaccination-station-scaled-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">North Carolina gave Osama the vaccine he wouldn&#8217;t have been able to get in Ramallah. Credit: Umm Forat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Jabalia refugee camp, too, started vaccinating<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We picked up Forat and Adam from school and preschool, and I cooked tofu with rice. Osama left the table to answer a call from his niece in the Gaza Strip. In previous conversations, he had tried to persuade his mother to get a COVID-19 vaccine. A shipment of Russian-made vaccine had arrived in Gaza, a donation from the United Arab Emirates, and elderly people were eligible for it. But Osama\u2019s two brothers, who live with their mother in the family compound in the Jabalia refugee camp, hesitated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While Osama spoke to his niece, Forat picked the broccoli off her plate and announced that she had no intention of eating vegetables and that I shouldn\u2019t bother threatening her with cancelling dessert, because her teacher had already given her a lollypop today, and she didn\u2019t need any favors from me. Then she continued her research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIma, which animal did they kill to make tofu?\u201d she asked. I explained that soybean is a plant that doesn\u2019t have parents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cSalmon too?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cNo, salmon is a fish that has parents. To eat salmon, you need to kill a salmon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Osama returned to the table, smiling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cMy mother got vaccinated, and even Omar and Mohammed managed to schedule an appointment,\u201d he updated. \u201cEverything was transparent, through the health ministry, no need for connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThe situation in Gaza is better than in the West Bank,\u201d I said, surprised. A tiny number of health workers and Palestinians working in Israeli workplaces got vaccines from Israel, but everyone else in the West Bank is waiting for the Palestinian Authority to get more supply. There was little transparency regarding distribution of the few doses that reached the West Bank. In addition to medical teams, senior Palestinian Authority officials, their families and friends, and players on the national football team got priority. Our friend Amjad sent us daily updates about his attempt to get a vaccine for his 74-year old mother, who is a cancer patient, through the health ministry in Ramallah, at a time when infection rates in the West Bank are sky-high. Forat\u2019s school and Adam\u2019s preschool there have been closed for two months, and every day we get news of another friend or neighbor sick with COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYeah,\u201d Osama answered. \u201cGaza is the place to be. My mother got a vaccine even without joining the football team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>This post was also published on haaretz.com on April 7, 2021:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/regarding-vaccines-my-husband-says-it-s-better-to-be-in-gaza-than-the-west-bank-1.9689658\">https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/regarding-vaccines-my-husband-says-it-s-better-to-be-in-gaza-than-the-west-bank-1.9689658<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our daughter is enjoying sugary American food, but for her father, North Carolina brings something sweeter: a COVID-19 vaccine he wouldn\u2019t yet get in Palestine.
