Introduction..^.^

Heylloo ♥__¶, I represent one of the many young voices of PALESTINE ^.^ .

For those who don’t know where Palestine is, “well LOOK IT UP…lol kidding ”.Palestine is a small country that sleeps on the Mediterranean’s east shores; it’s one of the few occupied countries in the world. It’s the same spot where Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. In Islam, Prophet Mohammad’s followers believe that he also visited Jerusalem/Palestine and then from its famous rock flew up to the sky and toured heaven and hell with angel Gabriel.

The struggle took its part in the holy land in 1948, when the state of Israel saw the first light to life. Ignoring the rights of the local inhabitants, “GREAT Britain” who ruled Palestine back then helped the Zionist movements take control of everything and slowly establish a state of their own after fleeing 711.000 thousand Palestinian to the near countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, using the armed militates of course to kill, plant terror in the people’s, replace the inhabitants with new settlers.

The descendants of the first refugees are estimated to be 4.5 million now. The ones living Lebanon and Egypt have one-room apartments and no decent jobs, they suffer each day and fight to make it to the next day. The refugees in Jordan have better lives than the other refugees” can’t say they’re lucky though…eh”, they have decent houses and decent jobs, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they are still refugees, even with millions of dollars in their pockets, they still have lost their homeland, their real houses and olive trees and maybe their closest people to their heart.

I don’t know anything about politics and I don’t want to get myself involved in it by any chance, although I’m forced to watch the news everyday, the only reason that happens is because I want to know if the checkpoints are opened tomorrow so I can go to school.The separation wall is 10 minutes away from my house, now that it’s complete I can never visit my aunts in Jerusalem, I can never ever see the sea.

Yet more still to come, I hope we can help the world be a better place for the coming generation “ Ahh… I know I sound like my grandma >.> ” But it’s true..

Mahmoud Darwish:I have many memories, I was born as everyone is born, I have a mother a house with many windows, brothers, friends and a prison cell with a chilly window! I have a wave taken by the seagulls, a panorama of my own. I have a saturated meadow. In the deep of horizon of my word, I have a moon, a bird’s sustenance and an immortal olive tree. I have lived on the land long before swords turned men into prey. I belong to there. To break the rules, I have learned all the words needed for a trail by blood. I have learned and dismantled all the words in order to draw from them a single word: Home
