As Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza rages on with the backing of US funds and US-made weaponry, what does it mean to be Palestinian-American right now?

Fouad Dakwar is a Palestinian-American performer who explores the difficulties of reconciling these two identities in his autobiographical pop-punk musical, Fouad of Nazareth.
