I am from the Caribbean (West Indies) and i am saddened by the conflicts in the middle east. I feel hurt knowing that my palestinian friends are hurting so badly daily. It is just not fair! So to my dear friends.......my prayers and thoughts will always be with you.....

I'm an American Jew of Belarusian origin (immigrated in 1990). I've never been a big fan of Israel, but I'm still not sure what this site's creators advocate. The destruction of Israel? The expulsion of all the Jews (most of whom were born there)? That hardly seems like a peaceful cause. I wholly support the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but not instead of Israel. A multiethnic Palestinian-Israeli state would be a nice idea (provided Jews would still have the right to immigrate), but I'm afraid it's a rather utopian notion...

my grandparents lived in acre, comfortably.they had a big house and a olive tree farm where my grandfather made olive oil. my grandmother was from a wealthy family.they had my father after 12 years. he was their pride and joy. then they had another baby. and another, this time a girl. ghada was only seven days old when the jews came. my grandmother had heard they were coming so she buried all her gold in a oil tin in the back yard. the jews came with guns. yelling and screaming, scaring the children. they light the house on fire and my grandparents and the three babies fled. they walked, and walked, and walked, for days until they reached the lebanese border where my grandma collapsed. 1948 is a year never to be forgotten.in lebanon my grandparents lived in a nice place for a while with the money they had brought with them but it eventually ran out. my grandmother had baby after baby until they were 16 children. she wanted to make an army she would say to get our home back. and she did, she had 14 boys and 2 beautiful girls.my father was they eldest.
my grandpa couldnt feed all these people alone so he told my father to get a job. My dad tried endlessly in lebanon but it was no use. they didnt want palestinian workers. so my grandpa sent him to egypt where he struggled for a year then found a job on the oil riggs in lybia. my dad wanted to amount to something in his life and lybia wasnt good enough. he flew to the bahamas and sneaked into miami and from miami he drove to montreal where his cousin was living. he made it to CANADA.wow what a journey for such a young man. but what else coould he do he needed to help raise his family. he saved some money and sent it to other brothers. some used it to go to germany, others went to the gulf ( but were kicked out in the gulf war).4 of my uncles were killed. the first was teiseer. he died in 1970 in black sept in jordan where king hussein killed 22,000 palestinian men ages 18-45. when he died my uncle amene went skizo...they were very close, and he eventually died in lebanon of misery. another one, mueen, was a new father, when israeli snipers shot him in the legs and he bled to death on the streets of beirut. his daughter was 1.hisham's cause of death was unknown. all we know is he was in the refugee camp in 82 during the massacre that sharon headed in sabra and shatila.so here in canada my father made friends. he would sit in the coffee shop like they did back home and talk about politics and social issues. one day a new man came. his name was heimi. he was a jew, and he was an arab, originally from yemen but his family lived in israel in acre. my dads home town. heimi sat with the group telling stories of his childhood. my father listened. one day heimi went to israel to visit his sick father and brought back pictures. his father lived on a farm that had olive trees which made olive oil. heimi's mother was wearing alot of jewelry and looked happy in the pictures.heimi told a funny story of how his mother found the jewelry in an olive oil tin buried in the back yard.my father turned yellow...and quietly asked heimi the address of his fathers home. its was my grandpa's. so my dad told heimi. then it was heimi's turn to turn yellow.
my father stopped going to the coffee shop. it hurt him.
heimi called after a long while and said to my father..."im sorry".but sorry doesnt help. the pain is there.
israel thinks we will forget our land
we cant, its a part of us
we will return
you cant oppress an entire nation of people and not expect a backlash
i carry my fathers sorrow
and plan to go home
to acre
to 3akka.

The Young Will never Forget

As Palestinians Forgetting is the least for us to worry,
One day Zionist Israelis have to feel guilty and sorry,
They can Kill and Torture but cant Assassinate our Memory.

Another day they will realize that, and have frankly to admit,
That Palestinian Young Generation will never forgive nor forget.
How can a person without his Heart and Soul stay on earth living?
Palestine is our Heart, and Love; it is our God blessed giving.
How can a child forget Scenes of Blood and Screams of Crying?
Scenes of his family members killed in front of his eyes coldly dying.
Such Criminal Behavior helped our children painfully remember,
Awakened in them memory of your unlimited Massacres in number.

Needless to say how we breastfed our children Palestine؟s Love,
And this comes first to them and stands before all and high above.
The Sacred Love of Our Homeland is naturally with them born,
Seeing their families, houses and country by force taken and torn.
That Love which you will never be able to understand,
Because you don؟t have such feelings but those of a gang and band.
Our grand children are well equipped with such memories,
And again assure you that Forgetting has no place in our Diaries.
Aggressors we ARE NOT and never were,but Victims sure we Are,
By Force Took our Land and blindly killing led by a Mass Killer star.

The Truth is Crystal Clear to the Whole World here and there,
We Wonder Why does the World Back them and of them take care?
We called for PEACE &FAIR JUSTICE but they were always Deaf,
Also they were Senseless like a Hard Rock in a Mountain Cliff.
Again the Whole World Neglected our Continuous PEACE Call,
And Helped The Aggressor Zionists to remain Criminals after all.

WE SHALL NEVER FORGIVE,
WE SHALL NEVER FORGET,
GOD BLESS OUR SACRED LAND OF PALESTINE,
GOD BLESS OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS PALESTINIANS!

To all Israelis and their supporters WE WILL NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE !!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE PALESTINE FOREVER

Other goverments such as the US want justice. I am not saying they don't deserve it but they suffered from a single event for two hours. Don't we Palestinians who have suffered for 53 years contiously deserve justice? or freedom? Don't we deserve to be treated like humans? Live in our houses? Can't people walk in a city without being scared of death?
Can't we pray in our mosques without being scared of a soldier coming and shooting us in the back.

Despite all this we have a single weapon, stronger than any other, and that is hope. All Palestinians can see that the people are dying. Yet do they hide? They know that the Zionists have stronger weopens and shields, and tanks, and that all they have is a stone in their hand, but they dont run away. And the Zionist soldiers have protection, and armour, to get protected from what? a stone?

God Bless Palestine

Great site, very informative. Thank you for that and keep up the great work.

I came across this site by accident, or maybe fate. I could not stop my tears as I read the message board. For the first time in my 30 years of life, I felt a sense of belonging. My mother and father were born in 1948 but of course were forced to flee to Lebanon as babies. They migrated to Australia when I was 6 months old, so I was obviously raised here in Australia. I have always found the question "where are you from ?" so difficult to answer, and never felt I could give the right reply. Where am I from? I usually give the lengthy explanation I have described above. YES I'm Palestinian. But I'm also Australian..it's my country, it has become my culture, it is my way of life. I love Australia..it is who I am. I want to be Palestinian and everything that it stands for but cannot help but feel lost. I cry for what I have been cheated out of..that sense of belonging. Dont get me wrong..I am still passionate about being Palestinian, and always point out respectfully that I'm Palestinian and not Lebanese as might be suggested. The invasion of Palestine has cheated me and millions of my palestinian sisters and brothers around the world, out of our heritage. I feel cheated even moreso because I went to Palestine to live. I lived near the city of Acre for one year, but could not adapt. One part of me was so happy to be where my ancestors were born and the other part ached for Australia, the country I was so familiar with. With the help of your site, I know that one day I will stop feeling like a lost soul. Keep up the great work. I LOVE YOU PALESTINE.

Hi!!

I have always been aware of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict, but since September 11th I have decided to research and find out about what was going on. I was very disappointed in myself to learn that for 25 years I have been ignorant of the facts.
I am a student at University of Newcastle, England. After the extensive research I have done in order to determine who was at fault, I am now convinced by also looking into Israeli website's too that the Zionist's have stepped way beyond the line's, breaking all the law in the books supported by the US governement's double standards. I am now convinced that these Zionists to my disgust equates to Adolf Hitler. I do not dislike Jews, Christian or any religions as long as all learn how to live together in peace and unity.

I feel as a Britich citizen, it is my moral duty to strive along with my Palestinian fellows and friends to fight for the cause. I now have now set up at university a Palestinian Awareness commitee, and will arrange to have teach-ins, debates. I am also approaching producers, film makers in making films and documentaries to inform the whole world on what has been going on. The pure facts will speak for itself, there is no need of biased information, where you have Hollywood filmmakers portraying Arabs as evil, terrorists. Hollywood must stop poisoning people's minds, just give them the real facts and let the people be the judge!!

I urge all to contribute in some way to this struggle (from telling friends, signing the guest-book to actively campaign)to acheive peace, stability and the end of persecution of Palestinians by the zionists.

Peace to the people of Palestine, I would like you to know that myself and millions of people are standing next to you, and can see what is happening.

Salam for all moslims
I hope the American condoned terror in Palestine and Afghanistan will stoped very soon.

I am so happy to have the information obtained on you web site. I also read other foreign publications, so no one can say my opinions are biased. Another in paticular, that I find good information on is called Gobal Policy at www.globalpolicy.org People of all countries should be kept up to date with this site. I just wish there was an English version of Al-Jazeera so that those of us that want to hear both sides, be it against our beliefs or not. I do believe education promotes freedom. Keep up the good work

This is a fantastic website. It is very important that the HISTORY of Palestine be disseminated, as so many are ignorant. Once Palestinian history is understood by the majority of people, it will be hard to stand in the way of the re-establishment of Palestine. I think that most peoples' sympathies will stretch naturally to Palestine, justice, and fairness on this issue.

I would like to congratulate every Palestinian because at last the "Super Powers" delared that the "image" of a Palestinan state has always existed in "minds" of the successive administrations. The Palestinans have not been told about the preconditions of accepting this "image" of their promised state. Some of these preconditions are the following:
1- Every Palestinian, who has built his home on his own piece of land and who is doomed by Israel to have done that without a permit must stand outside his house with all family members and look happily with a big smile to the Israeli's bulldozers while they demolish that house. Even he must clap on seeing his life dream bulldozed and demolished in front of his eyes, otherwise he will be classifed as a barbaric uncivilized terrorist.
2- If it happens that any Palestinian boy or girl is killed by what is called the IDF, that person's parents must not show any anger towards the merciful IDF soldiers. On the contrary, they must commend the soldier who killed him because Palestinian children are trouble- makers and they are potential terrorists.
3- Whenever any Palestinian wants to travel inside or ouside his promised "state", he/she must get permission from the Israelis. He may not travel to any country which Israel considers a non-friendly country. Israelis have the right to do that in order for them to secure their "state's" security because some countries might plot against Israel.In the first place, Israel is always right and does not make mistakes.
4- Every Palestinan must sign willingly and have the great honor to recognize Israel's sovereignity on 80% of the Historical Palestine and on this state.
5- Every Palestinian must accept to live within the borders of his own house and if he leaves his home at the time of curfew he will be shot on the spot, without warning. During times of curfew, only pregnant women are allowed to leave their homes and give birth to their children at the Israeli check points, which besiege every village, town or city of our promised "SOVEREIGN" state. This gererousity is given to us because the Israelis will allow us to fly our flag on the buildings inside the less than 20% of our Historical
Palestine.
6- Every Palestinian must sign and solemnly declare that the critical issues such as Jerusalem, the colonies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Holy Right of Return of the 1948
Palestinian Refugees must be left out now to be negotiated at a later stage.
7- When the "Super Powers" are convinced that every single Palestinian commits himself and even encourage his friends and acquaintances to commit themselves to the above mentioned conditions, then the promised "State" may be realized.
8- There is only one minor concern here to be added. This concern is this question. "When will the super powers be convinced that the Palestinians met all the above pre-conditions?"- We have to ask Israel, who has the right to decide or the veto to make us wait!

As a Jewish born person, my dad always taught us how to respect the others boundaries, though he had the chance to engage in the 48 war...he strongly refused. He always said, we, Jews whom ever survived the Holocaust cannot spread the murderous crimes from German Nazis to the Land of Palestine.

I am glad that this web-site reflect the true history, and hope Palestinians, the rightful people of that land get this problem resolved justly.

Good Luck,
Shalom and God Bless

HOPES AND DREAMS

Does it? Does justice exist?
I don't think so!
Why????
I will tell you,
So listen to me carefully.
I am an arab,
A palestinean girl.
I love my land,
I will fight for it,
Because it is a part of me.
Without it, I am nothing.
I am proud of my nationallity.
I carry it with me with full of honour.
I haven't seen much of this world,
But I think I know the difference between good and bad.
Maybe every human has another view of it,
But I know that what happens in my land, is not justice.
IN NO WAY!
Many women and children,
Many sons of OUR palestine were killed.
MY PALESTINE
Many tears have run through our cheeks.
The tears we have cried can fill the whole world.
We are weak.
Weak with weapons,
But not with our dreams and hopes.
We dream of a land,
A land where we can live without fear,
Where we can see our children playing in our gardens,
Where we can pray in our al aksa,
Where we can walk through the old city,
Where we can go everywhere without being scared of death,
Where we all can live in peace and harmony,
I wish for myself such a palestine.
But what I see with my eyes,
Is destruction.
Dead people, dead brothers and sisters.
I could cry,
But I won't,
Because I am strong.
I hope for justice.
The hopes keep us alive. by Dina Tischler

Well, I sill say that your site was an eye opening experience that I will soon not forget. I have been looking for credible information about the palastinian issue for some time now, and many good sites have ultimately led me here. I am an American, and I think that many Americans are totally unaware of the true history of Palastine and the Israel State. I would like to say that my interested began long before Mr. Bin Laden was blamed for the WTC attack, and that kind of attention is not that kind that should be seeked. I will say that we are upon a new era, a time were hatred must be controlled. I know that sounds easy for me to say, but it is not. I am a son to a man who server his country (USA) for 30 years in the military (blindly, sometimes, I think. I am also a member of a family that is largely uneducated by sources other than the Television and government propaganda. I live in a country with a leader I truly cannot support, becouse of his lies and rhetoric. Yet, we are in a time that must yeild peacefull solutions, becouse as humans, we have created warfare that yeilds to much danger to our world as a whole. If we continue on this path, Zionist, Muslims, Christians, Atheists will have nothing show of there efforts. We yeild bombs, and bioligical agents on our earth and its people as if there is no repurcussions of our actions. We need to understand that the long terms effects of what we do outway the temporary gains we may get. The aggression that the Israeli's have used to there own gain, is totally unnacceptable, as is the lack of responsble reporting and education of people around the world. I join you in your fight to educate, and free palestine from your opressors in a way that all can live together in a mutually beneficial society. It is the only way my friends. Let us not act as gods, or devils, but as men and women with the voice of reason. Peace to all of you, and I invite any of you to contact me. I would love to hear from you.

I think the internet and websites like yours are a good instrument for keeping the world informed of the truth of the palestinian conflict.I think there are probably a lot more people out there that sympathise with the palestinians than you realise but they are not yet galvanised into pressurising their governments to deal with this problem.Perhaps when their lifestyle safety and security is affected by such as things like the WTC disaster and possibility of biological warfare there will be a call for justice albeit out of self interest.Your people have suffered enough and if it takes actions like Bin Laden has taken to put things right then so be it -- it is just so sad that after so many years a more peacefull solution could not be arrived at.I do not think he has damaged your cause - he has brought some of the worlds injustices right into our living rooms.We should all be aware of the plight of people in this world and start doing something to make this planet a place pleasant to live in for all people.Keep Fighting meantime - and good luck - there are I am sure many people whos hearts and thoughts are with the palestinian people.

It saddens me to read many things on this website. I, like many others have been searching to find the truth behind the pain and to understand the other side's point of view. One hardly knows what to believe any more.
I am proud to be Israeli although I am not proud of all that has occurred here. There has been too much suffering.
In the same way that I am curious about the history of the Palestinians I would hope that somewhere there are those who are curious about the history of the Jewish people.Perhaps then, a miracle will occur and we shall look to live together in peace without resorting to hatred and rhethoric, and violent acts.
Jewish history is just one long chronology of expulsions. The eternally displaced people. Zionism was a means to find a solution. I still shudder with disbelief when I recall how one third of all World Jewry was wiped out only a few decades ago in the most cold - blooded mass murder the world has ever seen.
This website saddened me because I got more insight into the suffering of the Palestinians, but also I was sadened by the lack of hope for the future. I am Israeli. I have Israeli fiends and neighbours.We are good and moderate and peaceloving.Most of my friends are against the settlement policies. On this website there was the undercurrent of blind hatred. "You Jews....go back to wherever you came from....."
But for most here, there is nowhere else to go.

Maybe there are points that both sides can agree upon. Let us value human life and dignity. This conflict has gone on too long. Looking back and finger pointing breeds more hatred.
It's time to look forward. Time to compromise and share.

Thank you!
Your site is stronger than any rock or bullet. It's knowledge, and knowledge is the essence of intelligence, and intelligence is the strongest weapon/shield against/from any oppressor.

I consulted your web site seeking background material on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The material you have posted, plus my additional researches, have conviced me that the aggression agains Moslem and Christian Palestinains was initiated by the Israelis, and the subsequent struggle of the Palestinians was an inevitable outcome. I deplore the state terrorism practised by Israel, and the hypocrisy of the state of Israel in claiming that the legitimate struggles of the Palestinian people represent some form of terrorism.

Hi All
it was a pleasure to find such sites over the net , am not from Safsaf , i am from some where else in Palestine..i wish one day our country and all the occupied countries will be set free..But first we should set our hearts free from the hard feeling we are having against each other aftar that and ONLY after that we can start talking about freeing our beloved country!Hope one day we will have the open minded thoughts and start deeling freely with each other and stop looking at those tiny little thing that we all as Palestionas have against each other.. God created us equaly and equaly he will judge us , so lets act use God's Wisdom and learn from his Prophet!

Bless U All

P_Palestinian!

The points put forth and the facts given in support are well put by the author(s). In view of some of those facts (most Israelies live in a couple of cities) I don't see why the whole matter should not be handed over to the U.N. so the villagers can return to their homes. The jewish settlers would have to be relocated to live in Tel Aviv and Haifa with the rest of the urban Israeli dwellers. Israel should immediately cease all immigration. I only take one exception - I am a Christian and an American; I am not a Zionist. Please do not presume.

we will be back soon insha`allah

As a policeman in your country from 1945 to 1948 I came to love the country and your people. It grieves me to see the suffering that you have experienced during the last 53 years.
I send my best wishes for the future and for the establishment of a Palestinian State. Inshallah.

Assalam Alaikoum,
First I would like to thank u for your efforts to create this web site in order to explain and show what's going on in Palestine occupied by "israel". I, on the behalf of the moroccan community in USA, we support you and even we don't have the chance to be with u in the ground, we ,always speak, explain, and talk about the Palestine cause and our Jerusalem to people in here.
Allah with you

MY NAME IS JOSEPH. I'M AN AUSTRALIAN BORN CHRISTIAN PALESTINIAN AND MY DAD IS FROM HAIFA. I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE BUT FROM WHAT IVE HEARD I CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT. I GUESS IF MY PARENTS WERENT THROWN OUT OF PALESTINE BY THE JEWS I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN THERE. I THINK THAT NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY WERE IN AROUND THE WORLD WE WELL ALWAYS BE PALESTINIANS AT HEART

I'm a white American Christian. My father's family was wiped out by the Serbs under their oppression.. the Serbs showed their true colors as visible to the whole world to see. You must fight and resist this Israeli occupation under all peaceful means.. true christians are with you.. but most are not informed of your suffering. Get out the word.. use the press to your advantage. Israels criminal acts will soon be brought to justice.. hold firm on your just and noble cause..

Palestine Palestine

Palestine, Palestine
your green land we long to see
your bluest of skies
that reflect of the mediteranian sea

Palestine, Palestine
joy you once filled in our hearts
from your beautiful memories
we shall never part

Palestine, Palestine
a country in misery
when you shall shine again
is still a mystery

Thank you for addressing so many questions in your Zionist FAQ. It is very helpful for someone like me, who is just beginning to learn the TRUE history of the modern State of Israel. I am a Christian and an American, and I hope you know that not ALL Americans are pro-Israel, and not ALL Christians support Zionism as some sort of biblical prophecy. Our religion places peace and love above all other human conditions: war and the oppression of the poor is absolutely anathema to any true Christian (just as it is to any true Muslim or Jew). I will continue to bring the rights of Palestinians to the attention of everyone I meet until there is a Palestinian homeland- including Jerusalem!

Alssalam Alikum
Palestine and Alquds will always be in our hearts, which we will proudly pass to children.

The Palestinian people have always existed and will always exist! This website is wonderful, it is free of bias propiganda and lies. Here in America all we hear is Arabic terrorist, the media is so corrupt. It makes me sick to read the papers, sometimes their sources are so unaccountable too! Well I hope we can preserve these pictures of Palestine before Israel because that is the only way to have our proof against the lying media and prove that Palestine existed and in sha allah will once again exist in peace without zionist murderers.
They claim that they feel Palestine is their home well it's funny because my family who has been there since the beginning of time cant live there in peace while the Zionist who has never had a relative there can live in peace with a citizenship! What about my blood, the blood that was rooted in the soil of that land? Let those Russians go back to Russia, that's home for them!

HI,
I READ THE STORYS, AND I'M SO SORRY FOR ALL THE SUFFERING. AS AN AMERICAN WOMAN I'M SAD TO KNOW THE USA IS SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WEAPONS SENT TO ISRAEL WHICH MAKES ME SICK!
I FEEL VERY BAD FOR THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE TO GOD WE ARE ALL EQUAL;! THERE SHOULD BE NO WAR AND WE ALL SHOULD LIVE IN PEACE! THE BABIES THE KIDS WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? TO SHOOT INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT DOING NOTHING WRONG! ITS SO SAD! KNOW THAT THIS AMERICAN WOMAN IS FOR YOU PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL THE TIMES!
I HAVE A DEAR FRIEND I TALK TO ON MY COMPUTER, HE IS A PALESTINIAN AND I LOVE HIM ALOT. HE'S DEAR TO MY HEART AND I HOPE FOR HIM AND ALL OF YOU TO GET YOUR FREEDOM SOON !
GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS!BYE!

I have already signed but i just want to comment on what AVI (THE NONZHIOIST GUY ) said in 22 aug 2001 OR WROTE AT THE END OF HIS LETTER
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY COMPRAMIZATIONS ON OUR RIGHT AS REFUGES TO GO BACK AND THIS COMPENSATION THING TO PAY US MONEY TO FORGET OUR HOMELAND AND SHUT UP WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT THAT AND TAKE IT AS A FACT OR EVEN A THOUGHT CUASE THE ONE WHO DARES TO DO THAT WOULD BE (KHAIEN KHAIEN AND KHAIEN )

LONG LIVE PALESTINE

PALESTINE IS FOR THE PALESTINIANS NOT THE JEWS!

WE WILL RETURN

A very informative website. The pictures were very distressing, however, this is reality and we cannot hide away from the truth and barbarism which is happenning to our brothers and sisters on a daily basis. I pray to allah (swt) that inshallah victory will be attained and we can defeat our arch enemies inshallah.
May allah swt bless my brothers and sisters with patience, guidance, love and happiness, ammen.
Inshallah tawaqal in allah swt.

I sympathise with the SUFFERING of the PALESTINIAN people & the modern day BARBARISM on the harmless people of PALESTINE. We as the human race must sincerely apologise for being IGNORANT & helping the European JEWS to commit massacres after we the EUROPEAN CHRISTIANS helped the JEWS to get a homeland.

But instead they have abused our support in committing genocide against our PALESTINIAN BROTHERS. We are ashamed and do not support the acts of crime committed by the ISREALIS & hope that the people of ISREAL can unite against the corrupt leaders to help & support the struggle for a peaceful PALESTINE.

LET THE RETURN OF THE LAND THAT WAS STOLEN FROM THE PALESTINIANS.

I PRAY EVERDAY SINCE I SAW HOW THE LITTLE BOY, MOHAMMAD AL-DURRAH WAS MURDERED BY SO-CALLED ISREALI SOLDIERS. I AM ASHAMED OF THIS TYPE OF APARTHIED COMMITTED IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

I PRAY FOR PALESTINE & PALESTINIANS.

AAMEN.

From Joseph in England.

What a brilliant site. I visited Palestine in June 2001 and couldn't believe how ignorant I was. My heart is now COMPLETELY with the Palestinians. May they get their lands back and all their rights.
They are just the most wonderful people I have ever met. I have a charity called LESSONS WITH LOVE to rebuild and equip the youth centre at Beit Jibrin refugee camp.
Much love

Ich bin sehr glücklich darüber, dass meine palنstinensischen Brüder und Schwestern sich die Mühe gemacht haben um hier ihre Meinungen und Gefühle wieder zu geben. Es macht mich traurig und wütend über unsere Situation in Palنstina, aber gleichzeitig überkommt mich die Hoffnung, dass Palنstina irgendwann ihre Freiheit wieder erlangt, weil es doch noch sehr viele palنstinensiche Brüder und Schwestern gibt, die sich einsetzten für das Recht, auch wenn nur Briefe und Gedanken sind. Macht weiter so. Allah yihmikun wa yiwafikun ya rab.

I like to tell you brothers and sisters that you are fighting for a just cause, and Allah will grant you victory. You're in my prayers every time, I pray for your freedom and freedom of all Muslims under subjagation. So keep fighting in every way you can for your rights becuase you will never loose since Allah is on your side.

Farhan

First of all,
Palestine and the palestinian people will never give up, the only way we could ever loose Palestine is until every single Palestinian dies, that would include myself. Also, we have to remember that the zionists will always be zionists, and the people we lost in the past wars, well....they are in gods hands right now, and who knows maybe there is a Palestine right above us, right when they give their last breath of air they are in a place where it's beautiful beyond the imagination, and there is no such thing as war. I would also recommend to the people who want to know what's happening there daily to get a satillite I have one and it's a great use, to know about what's happening there, but then you are going to have those times where... it's just too much because you are going to see some horrid pictures, and well i guess i can just say it's hurts a lot to see ure own people in pain. Inshallah we will have peace and to add to that OUR OWN COUNTRY.

Salam,
Alhamdulila and MashAllah on this web site. I really felt like I was in the villages that were sadly destroyed. Alhamdulila my balad still exists, bas I am so sad for what happened to my bothers and sisters who lived in the land we lost in 1948. It is this feeling in my heart that aches and I can never and will never stop thinking about the Ard-ilsah-hil-liya as Palestians call it. Alhamdulila we still can see the pictures and know how our country looked before the unfortunate zionist invasion. Inshallah ya Rub we will return to our Country and we will move back to our homes and pray in our masajid and churches. Inshallah Allah bun-surna ayla banee Israel. Inshallah Islam returns to our hearts like it was with our ancestors and out of us comes a person like Salah-il-deen. It is only time, this is not the first time our people suffer, the crusaders occupied the Al Aqsa mosque and made it into a palace and made the Dome of the Rock a church, so we are better off then our ancestors were, so with sabir and Iman, Allah will Inshallah help us return to our lands.
Salam

Dear all Palestinian Arabs: As an American Jewish non-Zionist, I must applaud your website. I have long felt as though the land of Israel was basically stolen from the indigenous Palestinian/Arab population. The Zionists rode on the coattails of British Imperialism in order to obtain thier own nation state. I have been to Israel twice in the past three years. I loved touring the various ruins and places of rare antiquity. Yet, as I traveled throughout the West Bank, I couldn't help but notice that the settlers seemed to build thier illegal communities on Arab farmland. The terraced hillsides that surround the Jewish settlements belong to the Arab farmers who currently grow crops of fruits, vegetables, ... etc. They even go into the settlements in order to sell their products. Even my grandmother, an ardent Zionist, had to verbally admit: .... no wonder why they want the land. You are also all too correct in your assessment of Zionist Jews. They are very defensive on the issue of Israel. When I argue against their position, I am always told you don't have that special feeling towards your people's homeland. They also reiterate the various Zionists myths that include racism. Yet, while they have their feelings and spiritual yearnings in order to back up their positions, I have historical fact. Historically, the Palestinian/Arab population dominated the landscape of present-day Israel. The Jews, while probably a distinct population, were a vast, vast minority even up to and including the War of Independence. Internationally documented maps show hundreds of destroyed Palestinian towns/cities/villages inside present-day Israel. While an Arab nation-state was not in existence, a thriving Palestinian civilization was. And that is the bottom line. The Zionists complain that the Palestinians don't want peace. Yet, they fail to realize that they basically stole (with the help of the British) Palestinian land in 1948 and displaced an entire civilization, thereby throwing this civilization into disarray. I also constantly argue that it is the ultimate hypocracy for the Jewish people to steal land, employ racist policies and displace people. These same tactics were used against the Jews many times by many different governments. We should be extra careful not to do unto others that which was done unto us. So, to wrap up, I just want to say that I support your website and your cause. While there are many Jews who feel the same way I do, there aren't enough to philosophically sway the entire Jewish community. We do exist, though, and we hope for a true peace in the middle east, including a fully independent Palestine (and the right of the Palestinians to return or receive just compensation). Good luck, Avi

I'm Palestinian originally from Akka. I've never had the chance to visit my home land even though I'm the owner of this land. On the other hand, the dumb outsider racist Zionists claim to be theirs! Zionists you have one choice: you must leave our homeland Palestine or die, it's just matter of time. We Shall never and ever stop fighting until Palestine is back to its rightful owners. WE SHALL RETURN
