The Abdelaal family once lived there, my grandfather Mohammed Abdelaal was in Haifa when his village burned to the ground. May we one day be able to return.

Is it oil, or a military strike after the resignation of Fallon? Is it settling and arranging compromising equations that can coexist with a Palestinian unity government? Is it a temporary truce for preparing a new war against Syria and Lebanon and Gaza? Is it a preparation for raids on Iran and preparing for a new stage of adapting to the difficult equations and waiting for the surprises of the US elections?
All these questions surround the tour of the US war leader Dick Cheney in the area.
Oil and Israel are the two priorities of Dick Cheney, but experts said that what is certain is that this tour will fail. Some experts said the war leader is coming to raise the spirits of his allies in the area without being able to promise them with big victories. It is probable that he will discuss with them plans of assassinations under the title of preparing for the next stage through eliminating some disturbing sides before the end of Bush؟s presidential term. He will also ask the leaders of the oil states to take quick measures in the light of the economic dangers, which result from the soaring prices of oil.

hi All
I am from tantoura, recently i find something interesting about the excavation in my village .the fragmentary remains of a local Late Byzantine/Early Islamic Period which discovered in Tantura Lagoon ,where several wrecks were excavated in recent years from 1977 up to 2001
Any way , any one want more info , i will please to offer
Best Regards to All

this is a storage facility used by the Hasa-diya family for fishing i know this because i worked for them in 86/87 mainly (Moussa and Sameer) very good people they reside in the village Faradise

Greetings to All,

Thank you for this site. I was born in Al Tantura and lived thru the massacre in 1948. To add insult to injury, I was detained with who ever survived the Massacre in concentration camps for over 15 months. I was 15 years at the time. This site brougth tears to my eyes.

I am now a retired engineer and live in California, USA.

Justice should prevail.

Rasha, It is with such sadness that I inform you and your Family, that today, the house of your Fathers Parents, on the shore of Tantura, has had a court ordered, destruction order placed on it.
You see, for many years this house has been a thorn in the sides of the Moshav and Kibutz Members,
as it is the only thing that still allows access by the Fisherman from the Arab VIllage Fardis to their beach side resort.
The Fishermen have applied time after time to be enabled to fix the house, but the Moshav and Kibutz Member wouldn't allow it... you see why.
They have insisted that is is unsafe,and once this house has gone, the fishermen that have used is for so many years, and maintained our Arab presence in Tantura, will no longer be allowed access to Tantura,
and will have to go to near by Arab Village of Jeza Zarka.
I cant imagine Tantura without this house, it symbolizes the hope, that Tantura was still a little bit ours.....
The Fishermen have tryed to stop the order, but to no avail..
I am sorry and I wish there was somthing more that we could do.

Estimados sres
SOy nieto de evelina atallah quien nacio y vivio en al-tantura hasta 1930 aproximadamente.
Vino para Argentina, donde vivio hasta el aٌo pasado.
Estoy interesado en conocer, visitar el lugar donde ha nacido y saber si existen familiares.
Puedo recabar mas informacion todavia, que ire enviando via mail a este foro.

Estoy muy agradecido por haber encontrado este sitio que me permite encontrarme con los origenes de mi familia.

My Husband and I now resided in Brisbane Australia, but Samir is from the village of Fardis, and I lived there with him for around 10 years, we have two boys Abdul Karheem 8 and Noah 5, we all have a love of Tantura, my husband fished there for many years, I am so glad that I found this site, I think if there is one place we all dearly miss its Tanura and now I have the information to pass on to my children as in regards to what happend in the village that we all love and miss so much, as sad and horrible as it might be.Kindest of memorys.

I just want to thank the authors of that wonderful website that unabled me to
learn more about my father's hometown and of course provides a very useful information to my research study
about Palestine.

Thank you

To All Al-Tantura people , It is a chilling feeling to know that Tantura lives and the legacy will continue as long as there is people like you to pass it on .
My Grandfather has passed away 1990; my Father followed him in 1998. Both had a dream to return one day.
As for me the closest I got to Tantura is the web site that I found today searching the Internet.
All what I had was the little information that I passed on to my children as we live thousands of miles away.
Keep the Hope alive.
