The Difference Between Bullets and Stones is a collaboration between Pulitzer Prize–winning Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha and Michael Christopher Brown, with an introduction by photographer, entrepreneur and social activist Misan Harriman. The book unites Mosab’s poems from Gaza with Michael’s photographs from the West Bank and Jerusalem, illuminating the grief, resilience, and vitality of Palestinian life—”Those living through siege, dispossession, and the weight of generational memory,” says Abu Toha. “The book humanizes lives too often reduced to headlines, illuminating the deeper emotional and spiritual story of a people who continue to survive, create, and dream of freedom.”

Abu Toha and Brown funded the making of the book on Kickstarter in October 2025, pledging to donate 100% of the profits, after production costs, to the Gaza efforts of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA). Backers of the campaign were able to choose from a range of rewards, including an option to mail a book to a U.S. Government official, hand-selected from a list of policymakers shaping foreign policy, aid, and humanitarian awareness in the Levant.
