Hello
I live in the. United States Of America
I think it is very sad that any one any where
should have to go through what they went through.
We have One True GOD.
We who live on planet earth should all everyone
Help one another.
All the wars and weapons are destroying
The Earth we live in.
I am A Representative Of The Kingdom of GOD.
In the Scriptures the Ancient ones
There was a man named Jacob
The True GOD Named him Israel
I believe Israel belongs to GOD.
And GOD Want is to all care about each other.
The way I Feel is
In a song I Composed 40 Years ago
I was sad
These are some of the words
It’s Titled
Outside My Window
Outside my window
See all the people
In all the city street’s below
Some are dancers
And some are gamblers
But few have the answers
They don’t know
What makes the world go
Round and round and round
And me I’m just a singer singing out sounds
GOD Gave Vegetation and,
everything on earth for free
Meat and Precious Gems
From the
Earth land and sea
Than the Greed dees
Went and put a price on it
Now to own your own land
You need Certificates
I’ll tell you money powers
How it’s sours
Sours
all of our earthly conditions
say wouldn’t it be nice if you and I
could get together and write
some new petitions.
On what makes the world
Go round and round and round.
And me ,
I’m just a singer singing out sounds
out side my window.
I wish we were just all grow up and learn how to get along.
God bless everyone my name is Linda Susan

اهلي كانوا في يافا وحسب ما حكولي انو اليهود هددوا يفجروا خزانات المي ويودوا سكان يافا سباحة على البحر
كانوا عم يقصفوا وبيمروا كل ليلة بالمكبرات الصوتية يقولوا راح نعمل فيكن متل دير ياسين
يوم الشعنينة كانوا اهلي راجعين من الكنيسة لقيوا قذيفة جاية في باحة الدار
وزي ما قال سليم الفار قالوا بنحمي الولاد (اخواني كان عمرهم سنتين و اربعين يوم) وهربوا لمصر على امل يرجعوا بعد كم يوم..... وما رجعوا

كابن مدينة عكا اؤكد لكم بان هذه الصورة هي لاهالي عكا الفارين من عكا ويظهر في مركز الصورة برج الساعة وخان العمدان وهذا هو ميناء عكا .

اناسليمان داود من زرنوقة قضاء الرملة ونحن قريبون يافا
اولا تحية لفلسطين الصمودو الخلود ولكل فلسطيني مخلص يحب كل فلسطين {نحن سنبقى وهم سيرحلون}
القدس لنا

حملتنا الريح الغاضبة..... من شط البحر
نثرتنا الريح على الكون... فزرعناالخير
وبكينا اليوم على أمس ٍ.... لعظيم الغدر
عمّرنا الكون ولم ننسى!... أمواج القهر
من بات اليوم على الكرسي.. مسلوب القدر
قد كان الأمس ِولم يدري!.... عونا للشـر..
الشر النابت في الأرض ..... قد حرق الزهر
فإوار النار سيحرقهم ..... يوماً في الفجر
أبو طه.

this is Acco, not jaffa

Thank you. Very cool! kokoben19, mucha gracias!

It all began on Saturday May 1st 1948 in the morning. I left with my father to the Souk, for the next day it was Easter. We met some soldiers from the Salvation army who told us that all the souks were closed and no need to go further. We returned and found to our surprise almost all our neighbors standing on their doors with their suicases in hand. There were two ships 'waiting' in the port, they said, and it is a matter of 15 days and we will be back. So, within minutes we made up our mind and left to the port. The boats you see in this picture are lifting Jaffa residents from the quay to the ships waiting some 600 meters far in the sea. You would not believe if I tell you that 24 hours ago, we have'nt got the slightest idea of leaving our country.
