A young journalism graduate with glasses is a conservative Muslim.
On the living room wall is a photo of her father, Jamal al-Tawil, a prominent Hamas politician in the occupied West Bank.
He is the former mayor of al-Bireh village, near Ramallah. He spent more than 19 years in an Israeli prison.
I asked Bushra if she supported Hamas.
“I don’t want to be arrested again,” she said, refusing to answer.
I also asked if she sympathized with the three Israeli hostages, young women like her, who were released Sunday from more than a year of captivity by Hamas in Gaza.
“We have to go home and they have to go home,” she said.
“The hostages meant I got out. As long as there are hostages, prisoners like me will be free.”
