It’s wonderful to read about Hilda here, she was 100% a force of nature and cannot be forgotten. I would say she possessed a quality of radical empathy, that would be a mild way to put it. Aside from the many years of work on Palestine, she also had some years as the leader of the ACLU in Philadelphia, and also worked on the rights of women prisoners. I know there is much more in her cv but I wanted to mention these things just to indicate that she was all-in on anything she put her mind to. We lost a lot when she passed on. Thank you.
