Dear friends everywhere, greetings to you.

Every one is born with a treasure as a capital granted to him from God. If he did his best to build up and invest that capital in the best valuable methods, surely he will enjoy materially and significantly. That treasure capital is one's mind.

I have known a new measuring unit I never know before. The Sumerians unit of measuring was seven. I come to know that from Persian carpet's weavers. They count how many knots are available in seven cm. The total knots are Raj. That formula for dealers of Persian carpets is very essential to valuate the carpet itself. I know all that because I have the hoppy to collect Persian carpets. It is very expensive hoppy .

Olive Tree was the first element of civilization existence in Palestine. It guaranteed food and labor.

Dear Jiddo,

اعتدنا في طفولتنا ثم شبابنا أن نقبل أيادي أفراد الأسرة الأكبر منا سنا رجالا أو نساء احتراما ووفاءًًٍٍ لعطائهم وأنا في حيرة لما يجب أن نقدمه لأسرانا في السجون الإسرائيلية أقبل قلوبكم التي حملت القضية وأقبل أياديكم ألتي حملت البندقية واقبل أقدامكم التي حملتكم إلي الجهاد والمقاومة

Who is my friend? He is my brother I have chosen.

عشت طفولتي وجزءا من شبابي في غزه ثم حملت ذكرياتي في عقلي وصدري إلي بلاد الشتات أحلم بالعودة وطال الحلم وأدركنني الشيخوخة فأصبحت ألهو بالذكريات وصباح هذا اليوم زرت غزة في
موقعها على الحاسوب وأبهرني ما رأيت من رسومات علي جدران المنازل وفي الشوارع وألا زقه
فأيقنت أنا عائدون طال الزمن أم قصر

أعط إن شئت ولا تأمل أن تأخذ تكسب بذلك مودة الجميع

سعادتي أن لا يثقل اخترت ظلي عليك فلا تحس بشوقي إليك فأنت الصديق الذي اخترت وأنا بحاجة إليك

الحضارة كل ما قد مه الجهد الإنساني في تطوير كافة مجالات الحياة أما الثقافة
فهي الآليات التي استخدمت في بناء تلك الحضارة

I had a school friend during my youth in Gaza named Sobhi Al'ashi. By coincidence, he was leg paralyzed during his childhood. In spite of that deficiency
He proved to be an excellent swimmer. Gaza had no modern port, therefore big ships transporting goods from Beirut to Gaza use to be far of the coast nearly 2 kilometers. Everyday the only swimmer who does that swim distance is Mr. Sobhi.
Once he was doing his daily sport with other swimmer whom we did not know. Both finished their swimming sport and stopped on their feet. The other swimmer sighed expressing his admiration that such paralyzed person can swim with such professionally. They became sincere friends and continued daily swimming together.

I observe we are building our culture on dogmatism methods. I have very simple comment against that. We are neglecting our minds abilities of analyzing.

Always hear comes before talk.

Mr. Christ Fischer's Sohne
Was a reliable and famous manufacturer of Women Lingerie. I was fortunate to introduce his products to Kuwait and Iranian markets. Whatever quantity available
In stock can be easily absorbed with good margin of profit. I had decided to make a visit to him in Kemnath / Germany. I had agreed with Mr. Fischer to meet me in Stuttgart, and then we go together to Kemnath. There was one modest hotel in Kemnath where I had slept during my visit for two days. Mr. Fischer had shown me all that area which is the nearest place to Czechoslovakia border. He introduced me to his Accounts Manager. She was a woman of forty's age. He introduced her saying our accountant hoping you will share us the pleasure because she returned from her summer holidays in Yugoslavia and very pleased with her pregnancy.

نبكي على الدنيا وما من معشر جمعتهم الدنيا ولم يتفرقوا

I had earned much money during my life. My savings compared with what I had earned are very little. Sometimes I blame myself for some decisions I had taken.
My sacrifices, in comparison with my earnings were very high. I have been compensated tranquility with my conscious. Is it worthwhile?

I had been one of the first groups of teachers accepted to work in Kuwait Education Department 1954. Kuwait that time was small city. In leisure time, we had nothing except to visit friends; those whom I used to visit tried to convince me to be a member in that communism party. I asked if that party would help me to return to Palestine. He replied that will be after the Israeli communist party will be in power and Israel becomes communist state…. In addition, we are also communists, and then no conflict will be. Although I had been naïf, I know Israel will not be a communist state. The man told me you would never be a communist. Our relation becomes cold but I never forget his kindness to me and I still owe him his kind assistance.

Dearest Jeddo I wish I share you a plan about future job together to benefit the wide experience you have in life.

Before1948, Most of Majdal-Asqlan inhabitants in Palestine were working in the industry of weaving cotton or silk materials. In every house, you use to see the loop for that sake and around the city; you use to observe the preparing of threads for the material they intend to weave. They use to import cotton thread from Almahala/ Egypt and silk thread from Aleppo/ Syria. No one can jump over that information with referring to two important personalities in that major business Mr.Yusef Alsharif and Mr. Yusuf Najem.

Kuwait , February 25, 2009
This morning I have received an email from my grand daughter in America including a list of Jewish personalities added to different fields of culture. I agreed with all the respect. However, to my astonishment I had not seen any personality from Yemen where there was a big community of Jews there.

We are highly impressed by personalities of high education. However, the education itself does not create acceptance of the personality's presence. We appreciate more people of culture, which is simply one's behavior.

The Central Train Station in Milano used to be the Terminal of all airlines passengers. Mr. Lorenzetti was the one who accompanied me to Hotel Medulaniom in Via Mauro Machhi 1. The First Hotel I stayed in from my first visit 1962 until now. The only difference now that the daughter and her husband welcome us. The Father Mr. Lorenzitti and the mother were dead. The other difference is that we paid for the first time Lit 6000 and the last time Lit 180000. That difference is within forty-five years. Honestly, that was reasonable compared with the inflation in all aspects of life. Italy was unique in every thing.

Kuwait 22/9/2009
Fortune lasts longtime
Mr. Ali Mahraban was an Iranian from Abadan, an important oil city, the distance from Abadan to Kuwait by boat is less than one-hour time. Due to high taxed import
To Iran, the cost was very high. Most imports to Iran were illegally smuggled by small boats from Kuwait to Iran. Mr. Mahraban asked me to import for him an article called shawl used by Moslem women to cover their hair. I knew a manufacturer for that item in Italy called Arturo Galli. In commerce, it is risky to deal in Articles of one client's demand. If you lost that client, the goods considered as stock one has to add extra margin of profit covering that risk. If I receive a call from him saying there is waseelah, it meant that he is coming soon to take any quantity I have of shawls. Therefore, the most musical word I used to enjoy that time was Waseelah.

Year 1962, Calzeficio Bloch was the most important factory in Italy producing gent's socks and women stockings. As I repeat, always Italians are generous people and kind. After I had finished my orders, I had enjoyed the company of Mr. Bloch for the whole day. The most I still remember is our visit to The Scala Theater. I believe it is one of the most luxurious and important world theaters. I recommend every one happens to be in Milano not to miss the visit to Scala Theater.

Still I smell the Garden's Sand of my Elementary School in Majdal-Asqlan. My age was around twelve years. With all respect and love in front of my eyes the image of my Agriculture respectable Teacher Mr.Rabah Alrayess. His personality built up on high order and accuracy. He was always watching us while we were digging the ground hearing his permanent phrase "dig deeper and deeper" I had the honor to be a member of his teaching staff before I left Gaza to Kuwait 1954.

Domani Molto Tardi, Italian phrase means tomorrow is very late .Is it not a wisdon?

I owe Mr.Ceasre Corrado the Taxista whom I hired during my first business trip to Carpi/ Italy 1962 all my success ,even he dared to recomend me for other manufactures,and I am proud of myself to keep him satisfied with that recomendation. Because I had been always a man of word

Sept.1962 Bologna is the capital city of Emilia Romagna in northern Italy. It was my intention to visit a factory there named Kamital. The same I new through sign letters spread all over the main roads and squares. I succeeded to reach the company. The owner Mr. Kamital allowed me to look over their collection and to check the export prices. The prices were not suitable to me. Mr.Kamital observed that and immediately proposed to go to Modena and from there to small city called Carpi. I succeed to reach Carpi at 5 o'clock next morning. . I carried my suitcase and walked a little distance to find Hotel Turku where I asked for one room and slept.

To build your personality to be accepted and admired by others,it will not be only your specialization in job or other.It is important to build up high general knowledge that add to your personality socially.

How proud I am of you giddo ,please write always.

I find myself unfair when I wrote my memories about uncle Jawdat shublaq. Now I beg to accept the same of my uncle Medhat Shublaq. He was one of the first groups graduated of The Arabian College in Jerusalem. The head master of that college was Sameh Beik Alkhaldi. Beik was a title granted to personalities of remarkable efforts in any sector of culture. . According to my information, Mr. Sameh Beik Alkhaldi graduated from Oxford University in England. Uncle Medhat appointed as headmaster of Hamamah School, a village far of Majdal-Asqlan nearly 15 kilometers. I beg to ask a reader not imagine too much about he tool of transport. It was only a donkey…color white.

Dear all,
I would like to show you these movies which have been done by the amazing channel AL- Jazzera. It's talking about AL Ajami Street in YAFA the Bride of Mediterranean Sea. In these movies we will understand the truth of who is the victim and who is the criminal, it's show clearly how the JEWESH army killed and expelled people of YAFA the actual LAND LORDS just to achieve their false dream in the holly land which is OUR LAND. By the way my grand father borne and lived in Al AJAMI Street, he had a super market over there. During 1948 war he refused to leave his land, home and his properties he kept going every morning to his shop. One day a Jewish guy decide to end this daily activity and for sure he was planning to force my Grand father to leave the place. The Jewish Guy was waiting him on the roof of the shop, while my grand ba was trying to open the lock of the door the Jewish guy DROP A BIG STONE ON HIS HEAD, immediately my Grand ba fell done out of conscious. At that time my Grand Ma decide to go back to Bala'a in Tolkarem where my Grand father roots belonged to, a way from JEWISH criminal acts. The thought they will be able to come back within few days,, but they don’t till this moment!!

That’s why we hate JEWISH, and that’s why we fight them till last moment in our life. And we will fight them till the last drop of blood in our body! No one can stop us from getting our rights back.

قد ر أن تسكنني روح الطفولة
اضحك عند الرضا
واصرخ عند الأذى
قد ر أن تسكنني صفات الرجولة
زهد في الحياة
صدق في الرأي

قدر أن تسكنني روح البطل
سيفه في غمده
لكل من سولت له نفسه
ظلما أو بغيا
قدر أن تسكنني روح غاندي
عزم لا يدرك في سبيل الحرية
جسد نحيل عصي على القهر

Farid owes Italy all respect and love
Sept. 1962
According to the experience, I have achieved within the short time I had been in commerce by means of correspondence. I recognized that personal contacts would be more fruitful. Therefore, I had decided to travel to Italy. I should go to Beirut/Lebanon first to get the Visa through the Italian consulate there. The first obstacle I had faced," The Italian consulate refuses to stamp a visa on such a document I had". They were so kind and informed me to have first an entry visa from any other European embassy; accordingly, they can grant me a transit visa to Italy, which will be valid for one week. They were so kind and informed me that the only consulate use to issue visas for such documents is Switzerland. I had followed their advice. Next day I got the Switzerland Visa stamped on my document, went to The Italian Embassy, and got the Entry Visa to Italy. I confirmed my plane ticket Beirut- Rome-Beirut. I know my last destination will be Milano but I thought being the Capital is Rome; the only airport will be there, and any other connection will be by trains. I stayed for some days in Rome find nothing of my interest. I took the train to Firenze. I had stayed in a Hotel called "Villa Azalle". The owner is intellectual Lady of high morals and behaviors. I told the woman the aim of my trip, immediately he promised to help me. Next day an old woman came and presented herself to as ex-employee in the chamber of commerce in Firenze. 2/9/2009 (Next will follow)

Amo Farid,,,, waw really I like your marvelous stories. I have told you once before that we have to write your long life experiment as a Palestinian and as a human being too. I like your story with the British Guy, your replay was strong and rhetorical. The other story regarding the Architect, it's really nice to accept and have the initiative to start new work without any experience. Amo keep going, we will keep your writing to our children, we have to authenticate such things.

I had been a wholesaler of ready-made garments. London was a source of my imports. The main address for our business is Great Portland Street. After I had finished the deal, the respectable owner of the shop asked where I am from. .I replied, originally from Palestine but I am living now in Kuwait. He replied immediately,
Oh, I had been in Israel and was highly impressed by the high progress they achieved.
I had visited villages where Palestinians were living I have seen nothing modern compared with Israelis villages. . I replied immediately admitting the fact he had said and explained to him the reason they were not rich to build modern villages. I added
Also great Portland street is not a modern street compared with address of Oxford street for example, do you allow other to kick you from this shop because it is old... He was silent and I cancelled my order.

كنت معجبا بالمرآة أشد الإعجاب, وأتقدم دوما منها ومن صنعها بالشكر والتقدير, إنها وبرضا مطلق منا, تسلبنا وتمحو من ذاكرتنا صبانا وشبابنا لنغدو متآلفين مع مآلنا, فلا نحس انتفاخ الجفون ولا تغضن الوجوه ولا
سقوط الشعر ولاءات كثيرة أخرى. حتى كان داك الصباح حيث خاطبني
صاحبنا قائلا شكرٍا يا حاج .
سمعي معتاد على اسمي الذي حملته من الصغر أو الذي اخترته من الآباء عند الكبر, آما مسمى حاج فجديد علي سمعي والحج خاتم الأركان. فهل
يكون الحاج خاتم الأعمار .
لا بد أن شأني بات عصيا علي المرآه. مرآتي الجديده مزيد من العزم والمثابره .

Kuwait29/1/2008, I have neen always admiring the personality of my uncle Jawdat Shublaq. He started his business life an artisan.He was famous as a tailer of Men's traditional Robe called Qombaz in Majdal Asqlan/Palestine. Beside that job ,he had been the distributer of the two famous palestinian news papers Alqodos and Aldifa'. Later he changed his activity to start a stationary business and had the biggest shop in Majdal that time. When he was obliged to leave Majdal 1948 to Gaza , he maintained the same activities. He succeeded in Gaza to the reporter of the famous Egyptian newspaper Alahram.He was dead forty years before but he is still living in my mind and heartt

Tuesday 27/1/2009 May I assure that I have never been racial,hoping to be accused of racism.I had been in London Nov.1967. On Sunday I had decided to visit Hyde Park in London.I had listened to a speaker who was highly proud of Israeli army and his achievements of victory against all Arab Armies.I had asked the speaker to give me the chance to ask him one question.Do you believe in military facts? He looked at me and said "You are wearing nice suit.Immediately I replied,"You are debating people who believe in your speech.You should give me the same chance given to them even if my speech does not suit you. I left and immediately followed by a gentleman who told me," You should immediately go to your hotel and added" Don't argue a Jew." Throw one pound in the road ,he will run after and surely he will face a car accident."

Wish to tell you my story with my respectable and beloved Mom.It is the habit in childhood to be trained the craft of your father or any other member of the family.My father was a carpenter,and my uncle was a shoe-maker.I preferred to join my uncle's job the shoe-maker because the habit that time when the owner of the new shoes comes to collect it,he pays a little tip to small assistants like me.That tip will not be in any case less than one or two piasters..with five piasters you can buy a cigarettes'packet..Abo Hamza was the most important laborer for my uncle showed no satisfaction for my joining the business.I had to share him the tip otherwise he will not teach me the profession. I agreed implementing the same mentality ..Abo Hamza was the only Jew who lived in Majdal.He was alcoholic.All what he gains he spend at the end of the day on alcohol.Abo Hamza was the only Jew who lived in Majdal and surely stayed there after we had been obliged to leave our city and our properties because of Awe and Teror.

The dress of the Palestinian mother you are illustrating in your website is the folkloric dress of all ladies of villages in south Palestine begining from Isdood till Gaza ..the material of the same was weaved in Majdal where I was born and the metal key she has in her hand is manufactured manually in Khalil in Palestine.
