My name is Ahmed Saleh Ahmed Ibrahim Essa Saleh Abdullah Ahmed Al-Akki Al-Bathish in Arabic (أحمد صالح أحمد إبراهيم عيسى صالح عبد الله أحمد العكي آل بطحيش). I am a Saudi of Palestinian origins, specifically from the city of Acre. In 1948 my family fled to Lebanon. In the 1950؟s my father fled to Saudi Arabia where he acquired the Saudi citizenship. Although now I am a Saudi citizen, my heart and mind are always connected to Acre the home of my ancestors. I will be very happy if I could find any lost relatives still living in Acre today. If anyone thinks he or she is related to my family, please contact me on my e-mail : ahmed.al-akki@riyadbank.com. I will always consider Acre t be my true home. I pray to God that one day I will be back home.

first this site is outstanding..300% success.can't beat that.
i've been missing akka big big time and miss the places i grow up in the old city of akka (near al-fanar,haret al-ma'aleek)..a friend of mine told me that most of the old city is near empty since our cousins are forcing and chasing each and every arab out of the old city so it remaines for the tourists only and that's very very sad.
just let me tell you something guys: i've been to so many places around the world but i've never ever seen a better place than AKKA...akka is your first childhood love you'll never forgett,it's your best hommos you'll ever eat,it's your best argeely you'll ever smoke and it should be your most peacefull grave you'll be laid to rest ....and we idiots are wasting our lifes in the west thinking that we're going the right way.allah akbar.
God forgive us and help us all.
blees you

Dear Fellow Palestinians and Akkawi:
I am trying to reconstruct my family history. My grandfather, Philip Hassoun, was mayor of the city of Acre- or so I was told when I was little, but I cannot seem to find any evidence- can anyone verify this and the dates for me? Can you help? Also, our house in Acre that was taken by the Israelis is supposedly a Jewish School now- how can I verify that fact? Also, is there any archive of Ottoman land deeds for Acre and Haifa? My father was the Secretary of the City of Haifa and the District Food Contoller of the Gallilee, and part owner of Abu Cristo's restaurant. What has become of his restaurant now in Acre? My father was exiled in 1952 and my grandparents in 1949. Unfortunately, they are dead now and I have waited too long to start writing the family history- but maybe others can help.
Shukran,
Rosina Hassoun, Ph.D.

Salaam Aleikum!
I have visited Acre (Akka), but unfortunately it was as a baha'i (I was a member of that cult.)
While there, we were very resticted as to what we could visit. They wanted us only to visit the baha'i help properties. We were never allowed to interact with Palestinians.
I have grown to HATE baha'i, and want to learn more about the THEFT of Arab land by baha'is to build their gardens in and around Akka and Haifa.
I do know that Shoghi Rabbanni was a strong ZIONIST, and fully supported zionist occupation of Palestine.

Peace to all of you.
I am so proud of this site and many others dedicated to keeping the memory of our Palestinian cities and villages alive in our hearts and minds. I am a second generation Palestinian born as a refugee in Lebanon. My great uncle was one of the last group that defended the old city in Acre. When the city fell, he went into hiding for 10 days, then he was captured , tortured and jailed for number of years, then was eventually released . We lost contact with him as my grandfather fled Acre with the rest of the family by land and ended up in Tripoli, Lebanon. We heard that my great uncle got married and had kidds but we don't know anything more about him. My Grandmother told us the accounts of that sad day and made sure that we remembered that my great Grandfather was the Imam of AL Jazzar Masjid/Mosque and my father still remember the streets of the old city and its famous wall.
Long Live Palestine
A'edoun

salam to all palestinians,
i would first like to thank all those who put in a great effort to create this website, which is beautiful beyond words, and very informative. I am a palestinian girl who proudly walked through the very streets of Akkah. And i would like every palestinian out there, specifically the Akkawi's to know that your presence there is still alive, and felt within the heart. Even though i was surrounded by jews, my heart saw, felt, and heard the true arab palestinian occupants of Akkah, who's spirits continue to live there. Those who ever get the chance to go(AND INSHALLAH ALL OF YOU DO), will hear those whispers, and upon hearing it will have hope and faith that oneday with the will of Allah we can return to Akkah and all other occupied cities inshAllah... Our Akkah ancestors continue to whisper to keep these hopes alive, and they will not rest until we someday again fill the streets with our presence, as the way we should have all these years. Keep the dream alive!
Sincerely, Amaly Mohammad Kadur
