Bismillah alrahman alraheem. First, I would like to say this is a very impressive site and I offer congrats on the effort put in to such a site. Especially when looking at the collected photographs of the destruction brought upon the Isralies, in the town of Yalu and Immuas. I am a palestinean, and this runs through my vains. Although born and raised in Chicago Il, I must say Yalu, is a constent reminder of the inhuman way Palestinens are treated. Yalu 1967, was the cause of displacement for my entire ancestory. Yalu villiage was our history. In 1967, my father around the age of 13 displaced from his parents for days, with all the confussion. My grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents, freinds, they all suffered and lost so much, materialistically, emotionally, physically, tourtured. And deceived to believe that they will one day return. Okay! So where waiting?!! Why not give Yalu back? The Isreali government turned the land of Yalu into what is now called "Canada Park," really whats more important? An identity for those who where forced out of there homes, to once return? Or a park to picnic in? Get real! Where is the humaninty in the world, how could this have happened, how could a park replace, lives, and a persons exsistence?
Thank you,

Hello all,
I found this page with my surname and I am proud that there is a city of my name. My father and mother are Aramaic and previously called YALO in Tur ABDIN (South of Turkey nowadays) and today our name is YALU since we immigrated to Germany 30 Years ago. We are Aramaic people and speak the Turoyo Dialect. I am curious about my roots and this page and place give interesting hints to find back to my roots. I certainly will visit this place in the near future.

Take care all together.

Dimit Yalu

I am apalestinian from a yalue, I born in syria and I live in Bahrain, I mwish to return back to my destroyed village and build it again

I am Bilal Issa Nimer Mohammad, born in Amman 1983. Yalu is my home land. I was very happy finding this web page.
As I know, Yalu was comletely destroyed by the jews as part of there plans to erase the islamic and arabic identity of the holly land of palestine. I hope that people of this vellage will collect all images and document's copies that remaines our right in our home. Please STAY ONE HAND, we are on right.
your home brother, BILAL AUDEH.

Born and raised in Chicago Illinois, still sustain the feeling of a missing piece in my life. One of six siblings all the children of Born and raised Palestine Parents. Their refuge to Jordan and then to the states. This site is one that really touches my soul. After a visit for the first time to Yalu in '98, this has a similar impact. Alluh U Akbar, Bismilahi-rah-man ir raheem Allah yerham il muslimeen.

I'm so glad to share my words with the people of my home town, n shallah some day we will meet all together in Palestine and Yalu. Actually I have not seen Yalu before cause I was born in Amman, but god knows its my best wish to go there and see Yalu, after killing the coward Jews out of Yalu. N shallah very soon.

من قرية يالو مواليد مخيم حطين
مواليد اللجوء
اناالان في فلسطين
وارى قرية يالو عن بعد
زرتها مرارا
والان لانستطيع الوصول لها
ولكن لكل من لم يراها
فانا اقول
هي من اجمل القرى الفلسطينية
ليس فقط لاني من اهلها ولكن هذه شهادة الكثيرين ممن هم ليسوا من اهلها
اتمنى ان نلتقي جميعا على ارضها
وليس من الصعب ذلك ما دمنا نزرع اسمها في قلوب ابنائنا
انها امانة والامانة صعبة ويجب حملها
والقضية مستمرة ويالو جزء من القضية
لذلك اناشد كل من هم في الشتات بان يحملوا هذه الامانة ويحرصوا عليها

لقد مزقت أهلي حراب المصائب

assalam alaikum
iam glad to find some thing about my priginal home town on the net , iwas born in jerusalim 1966 . my dad and his parents , were all born in yalu . we are part the family that moved to jordan , forced to move , after all the zionist terror and the mascres , some day in sha alaah we will all go back to our home . some day the table will turn around and the evil will pay the price .
finish the zionist terror and occupatoin and free palestine .

Great to see this website. I will have a longer message and hopefully some pictures of Yalu soon.

I had the pleasure today to have met today someone, who was born in Yalu! His name is Khaled Alajan. He, together with his brother and another small group of people work the fields adjacent to Beit Sira. We had a long talk during which he told me how beautiful your village was and added finally the question, if I think, he, together with his people, will ever be able to return to Yalu to rebuild. It was very difficult for me to tell him, that I do not think, this would be an option. I could feel from the way he talked, how much he still loved the place!
He is worried about his children and grandchildren - he thinks, they won't be able to relate to his stories as reality anymore. They will forget - I dare to doubt that! Through his stories it will stay alive, because they will pass them on to their children and grandchildren - it will never, it CAN'T and MUSTN'T be forgotten !!
If someone would like to have the cell-phone number of Khaled in order to get in touch with him (he lives today in Kharbata), just e-mail me - I'll gladly help out!

In 1942 I ,Lutfi Ahmad, was born in Yalo. I hope to see more people sign in Yalo's homepage.
