Daniel Shunra was born in the Netherlands and grew up in a settlement in Galilee in northern Palestine. He became politically active in anti-Zionist organizations when he was a student in Jerusalem, during the years of the First Intifada. He eventually left Palestine because he did not want his children to grow up with a sense of colonial entitlement and supremacy, but has stayed active with the Palestine solidarity movement. His life is dedicated to a free Palestine for all Palestinians (and any other people who choose to link their fate with them), from the River to the Sea. His short-term hope is to reach Gaza and help clear the rubble. Today, Daniel lives in the American Pacific Northwest, where he works as a translator and interpreter.
He can be interviewed in English, Dutch, German, and Hebrew
