It was tricky [to write about Israelis], because everyone has an opinion about the Arab – Israeli conflict, and when I first started writing these stories, I was working for an Arab – Israeli human rights group. It was during the Second Intifada. It was this totally violent and intense time, and I think there’s a part of me where I don’t know how to write about that situation without getting my politics out of my messages, and that’s something that was important for me not to do in this book.
