Hi
I really like this information about my village in palestian that makes the connection between the past and the persent. It gives us a hope to continue digging for the burried truth.
Any way, Whatever happenned we will continue to hope that we can go back one day to live their in peace. We hope that all this war to be gone, and start a new life with the name of brotherhood, because war will get us no where except back in history and cemetries.
I really hope that we start looking to the future with pride eyes, and try to built our homes with the leaves of olive tree.
