On This Day ...

On This Day …

On 29 November 1947, the problem begins and millions became lost. After that black day, millions became with no homes, no lands, no families. It is the matchstick that is thrown over a haycock then everything was exploded. From that day, the river of blood never dries. Nothing was left except the tears and the groan.

In that day, the United Nations General Assembly approved at the Resolution 181. This Resolution came to end the Israeli-Arabic conflict by dividing Palestine into two states: an Israeli one, and an Arabic one. This Resolution ended by the CATASTROPHE (alnakba). Kicking the Palestinian peasants out of their orange's orchards was the cornerstone of that event. Millions became homeless and were simply called "refugees". That ugly title that is still sticked with most of the Palestinians until today. My grandfather was only 17 years when he was forced to leave his house, and he didn't return their up to now. He is struggling with death refusing to die in the dirty camp where he was thrown from about 50 years. He hopes to die under the lemon tree that was at the door of his home. Many think that the "refugees" forgot their homelands in Haifa, Yafa (Jaffa), Bessan, .... They will never do so. The word itself "refugees" is a big lie. Palestinians who were kicked out from their homes, besides their children, and their grandsons will never find the "refuge" anywhere than their homelands.

Regardless to the consequences, this Resolution was very fair. It gives all the fertile areas in the coast to the Israeli state, and lefts the middle which is made of rough mountains to the Palestinians. Things didn't stop at that point. Even in that south which is under the hands of the Israelis, a big prison was built; to prison the Palestinians in their land.

After that Nakba, the Naksa took place. The "Naksa" is the second catastrophe that happened when these lucky Israelis weren't satisfied with their "small" state and wanted to make it larger; therefore, they occupied the region which is called now (the lands of the 1967). These lands were from the Palestinian state according to that plan. However, Israel respected the plan and those who approved it. It occupied these lands and forced its Palestinian dwellers to leave them. Many of them were from the "refugees". They became "double refugees".

Go back to history, to archives, or more easily to that map to find that all the lands were called "Palestine". However, it is now "Israel". Who knows what it will be after that?!

(This has been an interesting discussion, but I think that it has run its course. Thread locked. -- MM)

Hi Teardrop. A good description of the suffering of the Palestinian people. In Europe and N. America the media want us to ignore these facts. The main news programmes tell us about the suffering of the Jewish people but very little about the Palestians. To hear the media you would think that the Palestinians are a mass of malcontents for reasons associated with religion, culture, racial inferiori

00You are completely right about the media. Tge media shows what only serves its interests. It forgets its main mission "conveying the truth no matter what", and that's maybe the reason behind supportying Israeli in what it did, because such media doesn't talk about massacres on the hand
