1. 1. Beside The Sickle Moon

   A Palestinian Story

   

   In the year 2065, "Beside the Sickle Moon" unfolds in a future where the Israeli occupation of Palestine continues to shape lives. The story follows Laeth Awad, a Palestinian living above his convenience store, who navigates the complexities of life under occupation with his cousin Aylul. Their world shifts dramatically when they discover an unexpected Israeli checkpoint and plans for a luxury hotel intended for settlers. As demolition crews and military forces prepare to transform their village, Laeth and Aylul find themselves entangled in a web of resistance and survival. Aylul, driven by a belief in the power of resistance, connects with underground networks to challenge the occupation. However, alliances are fragile, and Aylul's decisions lead them into deeper conflicts, forming a resistance group named Al Mubarizun. Laeth, caught in the turmoil, grapples with philosophical questions about the nature of resistance and the future of his people. Amidst the chaos, a new movement, the Forgotten Ones, emerges among Palestinian youth, advocating for a peaceful resolution and challenging the status quo. The novel explores themes of identity, resistance, and the search for a future in a land marked by conflict.
