Fidaa Zidan was raised in an Israeli-Druze family in the Village of Beit Jan. The family lost one brother in the Israeli army during a training accident before Fidaa was born. Another brother died in the Israeli Army when she was 6, from a bombing in Lebanon. Her Family has been in the Parents Circle ever since she can remember, and her first encounters with stories of Palestinians first hand were through the Forum.  In recent years Fidaa has found herself searching for answers in her own Druze community, as well as in her own self definition. She has reconnected with Palestinians in the West Bank through her social theater work in Jenin with the Freedom theatre. These experiences that have brought her to reclaim her identity as a Palestinian as well.
