According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The remains of the school and the mosque are still standing in the midst of a thick undergrowth composed of vines and thorny bushes. The exposed foundations of the village buildings, surrounded by stone rubble, can be seen throughout the site."

    Will you accept a new homeland & compensation instead of Palestine and you right of return?
