“Keys to the Future of Palestine"
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) calls for the
first international literary contest of short stories and poems related to
Palestine, for the right of return and for a decent future of the Palestinian
people. In particular, we are interested in stories and poems that highlight
the plight of Palestinians living in Gaza, the world’s largest open air prison.
