I just want to inform you that me my self was born in this village and I was really so happy to see some kind of pictures because I hardly remember it because my family left when I was two years old so I love to go back and see it fro the first time in my life ..thank you for giving me this chance ..

We are very interested to read your web site and have found the maps very useful, (especially the very detailed map)as we a publishing a book of experiences, with as many full descriptions as possible of the people, places and events of 1936-48 Palestine, and dedicated, primarily, to the Palestine Arabs. We hope you will find it interesting when it is finshed. It will be called something like "A Palestine Policeman's lot (1936-48)- an impossible one!"

Hi to every one,
What a shame on us, Palestinians, to FIGHT EACH OTHER instead of TOGETHER against the real ENEMY.
For GOD's sake, grow up a bit and direct your bullets against who deserves it AND IF NOT POSSIBLE THEN SIT AROUND A TABLE AND RESLOVE THE ISSUE AMONG YOURSELVES AND THE ENEMY!!!
Again, to the Idiots figthing back in Palestine, I SAY: stop, think and grow up.
One last thing, you know what sickens me? Reading some comments from people across the globe expressing their pity for us Beacuse We Area Fighting Each Other.
We don't need it. We need to show the world how good we area.
Yet all I can see COMING is: " Another Algeria in Palestine"
LONG LIVE PALESTINE
LONG LIVE PALESTINE
LONG LIVE PALESTINE

lets asume i belive that it is.that all of this information is true
how is it posiblle for to achievs the peace in this area??

the atrocities that the jewish state are commiting everyday are unbearable, i am an english protestant, but i have grown tired of my countries support for this invasive force. overtime people will hopefully realise what is happening and stop being blinded by the largley jewish owned media systems in the west, soo many people dont know the truth and facts of what the israelis do. i for one pledge my alleigiance to the arab nations struggle to free palestine

In light of what is happening in Palestinian territories, I hope that the current internal struggle between the Palestinian factions not turn into something worse, god forbid and that it is resolved as soon as possible so that we can focus on the real issues and obstacles standing in our way. Is their anything left for us to be optimistic about except for more dispair and pessimism. The government says they will do this and that and fix this problem and so and so but I have not seen anything good come about to improve the situation for the Palestinians since the parliamentary elections. Isn't the current goal of the government supposed to focus on improving the welfare & well-being of Palestinians in light of the circumstances and limitations. We here so much talk and little action being done. As the saying goes "Talk is Cheap".

Very Good effort , we are trying to help let the world know the truth, we are doing small effort I think but just trying to help.

I am impressed about the richness of your presentation. Sometimes sources are missing what is critial (maps!)
I will follow up the issue and give the information to the friends in germany and sure to my Palestinian friends too.
As I am writing and publishing in German about the planning side of the conflict ( as a spatial planner university docent)I now about it.
Wish you good luck and might help in German translation here and there.

It is a mesirabl & horrible scene when you see us in hurry , taking what we can load, I'll complete later.

What an excellent and informative website.
I sincerely hope that we come to see the day when the Zionist infiltration of the World's media is torn asunder.
Then, the true horror of the racist sctions of the Zionist regime will be exopsed totally to the world.
Never lose hope!
There are great changes taking place worldwide.
We must hope that the changes can be made to be for the better.

hi, my father was palistine, anyone know someone with the last name of darwish, he died and is buried there but i dont know any of his family or where exactly he was from over there i live in the states. if some one knows the name please email me. i think his first name was spelled yehia darwish. thank you very much. my email is [email protected]

Thank you for putting together another piece to a very large and complicated puzzle. Trying to understand the Palestine/Israel/Arab situation is difficult to most Westeners because of the long term and continous bias in the Corporate/Pro Israel owned news media(read Chomskys "Manufacturing Consent"). I do not have answers to this situation but pray to G'd that those who would hurt/kill others to acheive what they believe to be their G'd given destiny "think twice". Does a loving G'd really want me to kill? Does the Torah really say that Jews are to kill for a homeland? Laurens van der Post once wrote that,
"Human beings are never more frightening then when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right!" I hope and pray that G'd brings understanding and empathy to all those involved in this conflict. Peace

i am 15 years old i am palestinian but have been living in australia for my whole life. i come from al dawaymieh i respect my country and stick up with them everyday. i protested for palestine many times. and hope that one day all muslims will come together and resettle in out homes.

Moshe Dayan was one of my childhood heros. growing up I wanted to be a warrior , and be of service to others. because he was trained the way he wasto be smart he accomplished was he should have.

I was just introduced to this web site and was amazed with all the facts. it is our duty to share it with as many people as we come in contact with as possible.

keep up the great work.

We shall return. It might take us a bit longer, but eventually, WE SHALL RETURN.

I want you to know that Jesus (a palestinian jew) has appeared to a seer in Italy, Maria Valtorta, in 1946 and He told her that the jews would gather for a while in Palestine, however it would not last. To us, who live 70 to 80 years mostly, this injustice seems to be going for ever, but I am Catholic, I believe in Jesus, I believe He was rejected by the people He came for and I believe that He is right. Soon, very soon, Palestine will return to the Palestinians. Jesus is God, is alive, curing, releasing and saving and Palestine will be free! He said so! Read "The Poem of the Man God" and you will see this prophecy in the last book! It made me very happy! God is not unfair, He is Just and Good!

My name is Nikos and i 'm Greek.I 'm telling you this, 'coz i 'd like you to know i don't have any special reason to support the Palestinian cause - i 'm not muslim, i 'm not an arab and, additionally, i really feel deep sympathy for the Jews eliminated during the holocaust (the Nazis killed 80.000 Greek Jews)and the pogroms they suffered in History.
So listen to me if you want.I have studied a lot the history of the "palestinian problem".Jews of course had and have - as all the people on this planet - the right of moving wherever they want and whenever they want.The problem was the ideology of Zionism, that gradually (and especially after the holocaust)predominated among the Jews.A nationalistic, chauvinistic, in many ways racist ideology that didn't ever dictate the equal co-existence, the peaceful cooperation and just sharing of the goods of that land with its inhabitants the Arabs (and if they were "only half a million" at that time makes no difference, for God's sake!!).On the contrary, Zionism proclaimed the conquest of this land ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE JEWS, without caring if there were other people there, without wishing any negotiation for a sharing of this land.Not all of the Jews were Zionists.In 1920, only about a 10% of Palestine's Jews were Zionists.But these ones, when they dominated, adopted the target to take for their sake as much of this land as they could with as less Palestinians inside it as they could.This is the problem today too.And it's based on an absolutely paranoid ideology that says "this land is ours 'coz according the bible, here was the...well of Abraham" or i don't know what.Imagine for example the indigenous people of North America, if we suppose they had the military power today, wanting to invade the houses of the modern Americans, take their land,push them away (and kill them or "quietly transfer" them through building walls)'coz that's where...Manitu, their ancient God, had his first home 2000 years ago.This is simple PARANOIA.
As for your words that if the Palestinians wanted just a peaceful return this would be possible, you 're tragically wrong.The Jewish state as it stands today, founded on that sick zionist ideology, would never permit a return of the refugees under any prerequisites:it still wants and aspires the possession of this land only for the jews as it did when it was established.Jews must get rid of this "uber alles" arrogance they 've been taught and understand that Palestine was not "a land without a people for a people without land", as the vulgar propaganda of Zionism was preaching, but a land where they had the right to go to 'coz simply everybody has the right to go to anywhere he wants, and not 'coz this was their "biblical national home" in which they had the only right of inhabiting.
So pay a little more attention to what a few israeli people allege today inside your own society, those who desperately shout "stop the occupation, stop the killings of Palestinians, remove the settlements out of the west bank etc if you really want to enjoy a peaceful existence" and stop listening to your criminal governments' propaganda. These israelis save your honour as a people so far, while gradually, more and more people on the planet turn into your enemies NOT BECAUSE YOU 'RE JEWS, but because of your genocide policies there through the years.
All the best,
Nikos

Thank you for a very informative site. I am an American Green Party member who is learning more about Palestine resistance and what caused the uproar so long ago. This is not covered in our mainstream press and it is a shame. One MUST look for information elsewhere or be held in ignorance. Peace and blessings to you.

Thank you for letting those who care, not forget what has happened since 1917.

hello every body .. i.m very glad to vist this guest book and leave my deep regards and best wishes .

Hi, I wonder when the American people be convinced that their Aminstration are those who created Israel on our own Land. Also
Israel and USA created Terrorism in the World using it against
Freedom Fighters in Palestine & Lebanon. Look at Afghanistan ,
Iraq, Palestine &Lebanon. Listen to your President saying this war
Is against Facist Islam in order to cover Israeli wars. Freedom Fighting
Is legitimate and not Terrorism Mr. Bush. I am a Palestinian Refugee
Who lost his house in Leb. & First house and land in Palestine because
Of American continous support with aid defending Israel. Where is
Democracy and Justice?

A free Irishman sends sympathy and support to the People of Palestine and Lebanon, and as we have suffered occupation and terror we can understand your plight. Irish U.N. soldiers tried to bring you peace and justice for 23 years,
and many of them died doing that, and I hope their sacrifices, like yours, will not be in vain.
" Cun glَire Dé agus onَir na h-Eireann, slلn agaibh go léir".
Le gach dea mhéin.

first of all i thank the person that make this site because he gave me the chance to have a closer look to my home EIN Karim no matter who lives in our houses from jews or what ever this houses will be always ours and deep inside them they knew that they stole our houses our right to live and to be raised in our watn.they cant take the honoer of bieng from Ein Karem and from palestine genration had died and genration will come but always palestine will be in the mind and heart of every palestinin genration that the way we'll raise our children Palestine our country and Ein Karem our home although i never have the chance to see it in real but its really in my heart and this is something no Jews Can it from us.i used to tell my father why dont we go and visit ein karem he said see u say visit how can a person visit his home and see some stranger lives in it.we'll be back when its time to be back when we'll had our homes back..and am dreaming(Am SO PROUD TO FROM EIN KARIM)

My family is scandalized by Bush and the entire American government, the media, and the American public. I would rather go to jail than pay another penny in taxes to buy more bombs for Israel. It is a human rights violator on par with Kim Jong-Il in North Korea.

Bush claims he is a Christian. He is a dumb, crazy, murderous pig. I am a Christian. You cannot be a murderer like Bush and be a Christian. He does not believe in Jesus, he believes in the Devil. He is so ignorant that before he invaded Iraq he did not know that there are two major sects in Islam, so I know he does not know that there are Christians all over the Middle East. He murders Christians himslef and pays for the Israeli government to do it. Anyone who witnesses and funds the extermination of a people is wicked and if he does not repent he will be judged harshly by the God he pretends to believe in. He gives Israel bombs so it can slaughter innocent children of Palestine, Lebanon, and any other country that be slaves to them.

I blame the US government for the attacks on 9/11. I live a few blocks from where the World Trade Center was. I think what al-Qaeda did was sickening. No one has a right to destroy a life that God has made. Murdering people is not what the great prophet of God Muhammed taught us. But, I also realize that Palestinians, Iraqis, and any people in America's and Israel's crosshairs have 9/11 everyday. I know how bad it is to be at the center of destruction and to have your home destroyed by murders. I hurt for the people who must relive it day after day.

I am a black and Native American. America stole my ancestors from their land. They stole land from my other ancestors. This country was built on the backs of African slaves and on the stolen land of the indigenous people. We cannot sue the American government for reparations to compensate us for slavery and the whosale slaughter of Native people. Somehow, though, Holocaust survivors can sue German companies and Swiss banks for their role in the Holocaust. How is it that my people cannot sue for crimes committed against us in the name of America on American soil, but Jews can sue Germans and the Swiss for things that happened in Europe? Our courts do not have jurisdiction there, America did not participate in the Holocaust. This shows that America values the lives and property of Jews but my people's rights are worthless. There is a Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C, the capital of the US. There is no museum or memorial to the slaves, the ones who were forced to build the Capitol. Again, the Holocaust did not happen here. Yes, it was a horrible period in world history, but slavery was just as evil and lasted much longer. More African families were broken up than Jewish families were in the Holocaust. More Africans were raped by American whites (including the much beloved rapist and racist Thomas Jefferson) than Jewish women were during the Holocaust. No one has a monopoly on suffering, but the world is only interested in the Jews' suffering.

One day, God willing, all oppressed people will be free of evil people like the ones who run the American and Israeli governments. God bless all the Arab brothers and sisters.

to Akiba Cohen: The Bi National state (one palestine for jews, chrestians & muslims) was what the palestinians demanded before the establishment of the jewish state of israel. how can i "as palstinian" accept living under the rules and the administration of jewish constitution. you've to take in consideration such issue for accepting this idea which personally i've been thinking of it as the only fair solution for both moderated arabs and jewish.

salam or shalom.

I am an Israeli Jew. I am impressed by the information on this website. I fully support Palestinian independence. The long term solution to the Israeli/Palestinian struggle is a Bi-National state where Jews and Palestinians will enjoy equal rights.
It may interest you to know that the majority of the people living under Israeli rule: Green Line + West Bank and Gaza, is Palestinian (52%).
Two states solution will never work because the Palestinian state would be too small and lacking resources. Only a Bi-National state with equal rights for all will work.
To the Palestinian people: join with Israeli groups that work for a Bi-National state. This is the only real solution to peace in Palestine.

Shalom

I am an American citizen of European birth who feels as an utterly powerless witness to the great injustice that has been done to the Palestinian people from 1948 to this day.The US finances, arms and lets Israel get away with murder. The EU seems incapable of any independent action. The UN has meeting after meeting with no results. In the meantime the killing and the land grabbing continue in Palestine and Lebanon. Contacting my senators and congressmen is an exercise in futility, all you get is a form letter praising our "democratic ally". What can one do except get mad?

I am a new student to these very complex issues in the Middle East. I plan to learn everything I can because it is important to make educated opinions about such important matters. I'm so sorry for all the suffering and anguish the Palestinian and Lebanese People have to endure. I hope a peaceful solution will occure soon. PEACE TO YOU.

Interesting website...I pray for all of those who are suffering during this crisis.

Assalamu Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu..

Again the world close their eyes for what is happening in Middle east.. How can they leave Israel alone 2 just kill kill kill and again kill, murder, slaugter and kill again?? Innocent people.. Not only do US, UK, FN & EU close their eyes, but our muslim fellow countries are also quiet.. WHYYY?? SHAME ON YOU.. One day you have 2 face your GOD and ALLAH will ask you what you have done for ISLAM.. Nothing absolutly nothing.. AT least Hizbollah is trying 2 help Palestinians & Lebanon.. They are not even shooting with missiles 2 kill people.. They send 1000 missiles/bombs inside of Israel.. max 3-5 people were killed.. Israel shoot 1-2 Missiles and 50 innocent civilians get killed.. I wounder why? Israel shoot 2 kill.. The only way I can see peace in Palestine is to move Israel to USA.. They are the only people in the world who love them anyway.. So they can give them some cities in USA.. Most of the Americans are jews anyway.. SO they can switch with Arabs from USA.. and we will have peace.. No need 2 fight anymore.. As long as Israel are in Palestine, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle east.. Why don't they get it?? What is so hard 2 understand? BUSH wake up.. Before you leave your post, make a part of US 2 Israel and all will be happy..
Fee Aman ALLAH..
ALLAH is with the muslims.. It might not be clear in this life.. But just wait.. just wait.. Alhamdulilah.. ALLAHU AKBAR

The horrifying images of terrorised palestinian and lebanese children should serve as a reminder as the next generation of so called terrorists to the zionists and western world. I simply call them freedom fighters.

Great job, your website is very informative. I look with dismay at the ill informed news and one-sided information poured down the uninformed Americans throats but this website can change that

Zionism is the greatest evil on the face of the earth. The United States government and media have been hijacked by it. Millions of us here deplore it, but we have no political power, all of which emanates from Wall Street, home of the zionist pigs.

i hope the reign of terror ends... and i pray for all the people living in palestine..

I have finally read the truth and history about Palestine from your wonderful website. I have found myself wanting to know more about Palestine and the current connection between the recent conflict in Lebanon. I feel very upset to witness the level of destruction inflicted to Lebanon and Gaza by the Israeli army and its peoples, and supported by America. After all these years of not fully understanding the Middle East conflict I cannot begin to imagine the sorts of terror, the pain and suffering the Palestinians and the Lebanese people are feeling. My heart crys out for them and I hope more and more peoples of the world find the real truth from PalestineRemembered.com.

The information you just have acquired is shocking and contrary to what we are told by our government. Everything in this e-mail and web-page can be easily verified so don؟t just take our word for it. Take the time to verify it for yourself. Our Country؟s future is at stake. Our country has been hijacked and our nation is in serious trouble. Now there is tangible evidence and yet our government is still lying to us to protect the Bush administration from prosecution for treason. Our government did everything they could to try to stop us from hearing what really took place and how our people died in New York at the World Trade Center. It took a court order and three years of litigation to obtain these audiotapes that our government does not want you to hear. In this web-page are five clips from a surveillance camera that was outside the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks, and former immigration officer for Homeland Security, Mary Schneider, implicates the Bush administration. Eyewitnesses at the scene speak out about the World Trade Center collapse, and the voices of the rescue workers from audio tape 776923 where a rescue worker yelled out "EXPLOSION!" as his radio went dead and the 26th floor exploded and one of the World Trade Center buildings collapsed. Click here for more information: http://liar-51.tripod.com/index.we.html We need to bring the Bush administration to justice for what they have done to our country and for the murders of our people. Thank you for listening.
