What do you expect me to do when I see my land occupied since 64 year ? when I live under Apartheid occupation ? when I have to pass thorough a checkpoint to get to the other half of my land ? when I have to justify why I’m going to vist my relatives to a soldier who came to my homeland from Russia two months ago and now he have the right to kill me ? when I see my people behind bars ? when I see them killed ? when ……… the list has no end !
Just I need a one solution ? people would say go shout in a peaceful protest and it will get your land back which was occupied by force ?
Do you know that what was taken by force only restored by force ? If you don’t, history can show !When Palestinians were more effective in the military field they achieved stuff that were dreams! PA is one of the achievements of the brave fighters who gave their lives for this land ! for the people !
Don’t get me wrong , I’m not underestimating the powerful messege behind the peaceful protest but every stage needs a different way to handle it !
I’m against killing , you’re against killing but that doesn’t make Palestinians who see the military road is one of the roads to a free home land a terrorist !
Isn’t what everything Palestinians did was for Palestine ? Have you ever heard that a Palestinian participated in an operation that had any reason or demands that aren’t about Palestine ?
If there were no israel and no one that took our rights , Palestinians would have never fought anyone !
lets be real , no one can ever understand how much frustrated a Palestinian can be!
After 66 day without food - you can say that this man forced israel to do something and that’s quite a great accomplish !
Adnan didn’t only won - even though the agreement wasn’t the fairest -this battle but the Palestinians as all did !
The protests , the clashes in addition of the talks that you could hear every where in the Palestinian street - Universities , old men in the bus , random people in streets even the school student -
Palestinians went out of the track in the past period , I think that a Palestinian is a born with the ability to talk about politics !
Another result that he made the road easier for more to come , he proved the with faith we won and we will win !
after what happened today , innocent children died on that road but no one mentioned a great point !
in that road , a military checkpoint -which is the worse in west bank , it closes in the morning to make the road easier to the settlers -…. soldiers and help was less than 5 minutes away but no help were given because they were Palestinians !
but they just waited ‘till the help gets from the west bank which - because of the long roads made by israelis - got 45 minutes later .. the flames were put out by rain and people !
so it’s not only about the racist comments made by them , it’s that they’re not letting us to live !
I hate them
#a horrible day in Palestine , many accidents across the country
AlAqsa mosque is a red line to the people here in Jerusalem even for the Palestinian Christians , not only because of it’s importance to the city and it’s holiness but the symbolic of it !
It’s a standing proof of the Palestinian existence and the Arabic identity which is a target for Jewish extremes who believe the someday it will be their ” third temple ” after demolishing it ( which is happening gradually because of the excavations below it which is weakening its foundations through constant digging and excavations by the israeli government in a try to find any antiquities that could prove that they have a historical right to the place which is a something they failed )
So as a resident of Jerusalem , every often we hear some calls about storming it or even demolishing it . We barley believe that anyone could do it ( and we all know what happened after Sharon did it ! ) but we do believe that this is an israeli policy ( a doping one ) that aims to ” make the Palestinians ready ” for a future plan and it’s a way to measure the care about any near event , so from that point , Palestinians are always eager to be there on such days .
I think that this time which was a call to storm it today on Sunday it was a bit more serious so Al Aqsa Foundation for Islamic Endowment and Heritage and Al-Aqsa Institution, as usual called who ever can reach AlAqsa to be there since the early morning in case the israeli authorities closed the doors , buses moved last night from the Arabic inside ( 1948 territories ) , messages were sent to mobiles and many shops in the old city closed .
As for the clashes , it happens usually ( and that’s a normal thing when you are living under occupation ! ) .
Of course , hundreds of those who could reach AlAqsa today was there ( see this video and this from today) in a clear message for the occupation authorities and to whom who think that we could ever forget about our home and that we - the people who lives in 1948 territories - shares the responsibility of Palestine .
Palestinian ” leaders ” seems to enjoy visiting each other and being hosted by other Arab ” leaders ” these days .
After the embarrassing and the foreseen failure of the ” peace” talks in Jordan , Abbas in order to save the last drops of hope being respected by his people went running to meet with Hamas .
and Hamas ” leaders ” are no longer having respect either after giving away the way that Palestinians chose to keep their dignity by !
People elected Hamas in 2006 because they kept the Palestinian standers in resistance which Fatah lost but unfortunately resistance is now a paper that is used to keep the interests and nothing else .
So after all their game cards are shown , they all run to each other to be saved .
Many reasons why this agreement will not see the light just like the previous one , the main causes that hurt the Palestinian society is still there , the leaders who were personally involved in the seen plus the big no that israel will work to see in many ways and that’s why it’s ‘an occupation ! you can’t solve a problem without solving it from it’s deep roots .
the embarrassment that happened in 2006 were a bless despite the blood that could have been more helpful if they were in sake of the beloved home and not because of interests . A bless because now at least the Palestinian people are no longer cheated by the ones who thought they were leaders !
At least we know the truth about them , and that will put us in the right path at some point !
and this will add nothing but a big stain of shame on the Palestinian history .
There is a lot of things going on these days which the media seems not to concern about so there will be posts like this from time to time .
while the hypocrite PA continues the nonsense dignity killer talks - I mean negotiations in Jordan with the enemy , the later seems to think that the PA is just too weak to be respected which is true .
Just in Jerusalem :
* New settlements construction continues , settlers abuse and several families became homeless or about to be after many demolition notices were handed by the israeli authority in Silwan . (x)(x)
* according to a report 67% from the Palestinian population in Jerusalem are poor .(x)
* not to mention the israeli usual procedures in order to make life here improbable ( such as non sense high taxes and new checkpoints )
and in the rest regions :
* Several attempts to kick Palestinians out from their homes in Haifa and Acre .
* Dr.Aziz Dweik , the Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council was arrested on Thursday at a checkpoint near Ramallah on suspicion of being a member of a terrorist group(like WTF) , then some idiots consider him just a Hamas leader !(x)
* Students across west bank are protesting the increasing prices of learning in collages , several are in a hunger strike after the PM Fyad and his government decided to not pay the dues to the universities meanwhile a Fatah member exposed that huge amounts of money were stolen in details by the government of Fyad ( which is a something all Palestinians know , like no need for assures ) ! (x)
* Both Hamas and Fateh are keeping the game on just to serve their interests in the time many youth groups entered the seen .
* Deadly air strikes on Gaza , shortage of medicine ( nothing new for the world ) (x)
* Daily arrests across Palestine by the IDF ( like always )
* Daily clashes with the IDF across Palestine
Palestine these days
people would wonder why in the world Palestinians who are known with the dignity fighters are doing nothing about this situation ?
the answer is not really clear even for us but as I know from people here that there will be actions taken specially as the youth are getting board by the empty words of politicians and people wouldn’t like israel to be happy about us fighting again ( I hate this world )
from my perspective , first steps will be taken against the corrupted PA and other political parties especially after the apparel of the new young groups across home.
written angrily on every situation we go through daily by the Palestine you don’t know - Wed H. from Jerusalem.
one of the them which I will never forget , that was the first time I pass a check point without my parents and I didn’t have the ID card that would make me pass it yet - I was 15 .
so any one younger than that is allowed to stay in the car , but I had to enter it walking after , I think it’s the first time I cried when I came home because of humiliation !
I was in the line with friends and sure tens of people , just in that section - you know the system goes like that you wait and wait ‘till a solider is finally in the mood of letting you pass .. every time the light becomes green 4 people are allowed to keep going to another stop , when the solider sees your ID card from the other side of glass … but when they don’t like a person or suspect any one the call them to a room to ” take off their clothes ” but a man was forced to do that in front of us - I was about to scream I saw the tear in his eye !
then it was my turn , I explained that I’m not old enough to carry an ID card ! but he didn’t really take it , he screamed but when they saw the people angry they let me pass !
I always notice soldiers on checkpoints mocking Palestinians and stuff , and that scary moment - as a child - when they scream and gather with their big guns and run after some car !
This is a waiting line in front of a checkpoint on the way to Hebron but it’s an easy pass one compared to Qalandia checkpoint and a new one in Sh’fat( taken today 22nd of Dec )
It’s unfair and was decided by whom not concerned about ! Britain occupied Palestine , then as a result of killing Jewish they decided to make another Holocaust in Palestine and simply steal others people land with force ! And the term ” the creation of an independent Jewish state.” means that there was no state like that before and the game that took religion as an excuse for the occupation of Palestine .
What we must understand ?
A history and this decision itself approves - that there was no israel before , so the Palestinian land must be freed from the river to the sea ! And Britain needs to start being responsible about what they caused for Palestinians and their moral duty towards us Palestinians !
What will happen ? What is the solution then ?
Simply , the Palestinians will take their land back at last and Jewish people are welcomed to live in Palestine like other normal citizens from different religions ! - and this is the view that Palestinians believe , as a Palestinian who lives in Jerusalem I know this .
-Wed H.
read more about the decision in a later post .
I can see this settlement from my window !
As my father told me that this mountain was like a forest which you could find any type of animals in even the most wild !
I call it now the ” beautiful-ugly” because if you looked at it in the night and see all these lights , you would think it’s beautiful but if you knew how it looked before , went in there with an Arab so the settlers through stones or even used the road under or even listen to their musical parties at a holy time of prayer for others - you will know how ugly it is now !
And this proves how the occupation destroyed everything even nature !
I’m sick of being treated like shit by a Russian girl who have the right to be racist and to live in my land because shes just a Jew ! and that’s just an example , I hate them all.
we have a proverb describes this , it’s الدار دار أبونا واجوا الغربا طحونا - ” the house is ours but strangers came and kick us out “
As any other holiday , Palestinians celebrate it in a great joy . Basically , any occasion must be prepared for at least one week ago - new clothes , food in all types and A BIG MUST FOR THE CLEANING , a Palestinian mother means a more than cleaned house !
Old men and women usually wear the traditional clothes , the day starts after the Eid prayers , all the family which is usually more than 20 members gather at the Grandparents house - gifts usually money is given to the children and to women . Then it’s the turn for visits between families .
As my father’s grandmother told us , Eid was more joyful in the bright days ( she use this term for the pre 1948 time ) ! Families met without borders - as a personal experience about it , we have to get through 2 check points to get to my aunt house every Eid !
And she always says that people used to be a mind-free , no problems made them look like now - unhappy , worried from the future .
Another tradition which was a result for the occupation is the Martyr graves visit by moms , the mother morning tear remembering her son in israeli jails !
This year gift by the occupation authorities in Jerusalem , anyone who sacrifice in houses will pay a 48000 shekels fine - the israeli usual respect of religion ! BUT WE DID IT ANY WAY AND WE DON’T CARE !
But as usual Palestinians take every occasion as a type of resistance and a message to say , we’re here and we won’t leave !
The difference in everything - in traditions and the way of life is another big problem caused by occupation . Not only the differences that the israeli occupation created among Palestinians because of it’s separation , but the differences between Palestinian arabs - including Muslim , Christian , Jew Palestinians and israelis !
Today I was at yaffa - in the north you can see this every where , as people with a big care of traditions which got nothing to do with religion it’s hard to see people walking without clothes , drinking wine or even kissing in the street …….. !
Despite this , the influence of a foreigner force didn’t leave that incurable mark - true lots of your youth get through that period trying to discover another culture -including me but we see that unacceptable difference between us , unlike lots of nations which couldn’t keep it’s identity pure .
That’s another reason to find it hard to survive and keep the struggle of life here but at the same time - another reason for being in the right way in keeping our identity alive .
