Cease fire please, people who are suffering feel vulnerable as they have nowhere to run and even anguished and afraid that one of their family members will die during those difficult moments.

Oppressed Palestine, usurper Israel and Hamas

Israel also attacked Gaza, in which about 300 Palestinians have been martyred so far, the infrastructure has been destroyed, the number of wounded has

Israel has once again attacked Gaza. The war, which began in the last days of Ramadan, is still raging. How did this war start? Did the Palestinians sell their land in the past? Below are answers to many other questions, including Israel's Iron Dome.

First of all, the question or an absurd question, did the Palestinians sell land to Israel? It is not. In short, Britain first provided land to Jews, but also to Zionists, for the establishment of the state of Israel. It is worth noting that before 1920, there were less than 6,000 Jews living in the area. More than 22,000 Palestinians were killed in 20 years for the occupation of these lands, and even the Jews who were against these occupations were killed, and thus the state of Israel was re-established with the help of Britain and the United States.

I like the answer of this German Muslim scholar when he was asked about terrorism and Islam :He said : Who started the first world war? not Muslims! Who started the second world war ? not Muslims! Who killed about 20 millions of Aborigines in Australia ? not Muslims! Who sent the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ? not Muslims ! killed more than 100 millions of Indians in North America ? not Muslims ! Who killed more than 50 millions of Indians in south America ? not Muslims ! Who took about 180 millions of African people as slaves and 88% of them died and were thrown in Atlantic ocean ? No , NOT Muslims!!!First of all, You have to define terrorism properly...If a non-Muslim does something bad..it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same..he is a terrorist...So first remove this double standard...then come to the point!!

Three Israeli settlers get kidnapped and Israel launches the biggest military offensive into the west bank it has in years, kidnapping hundreds of people, and killing more than 8 people, two of them children. A Palestinian citizen of Israel is abducted and all they give are words. Just words. Don't get hope up that they'll actually charge anyone for the crime. No manhunt, no collective punishment, no extrajudical killings or arrests for Israeli citizens when one (or more) in their midst commits an act of terrorism. How come collective punishment is only justified if you're collectively punishing Palestinians?

Yaffa: Land of Oranges.

Ghassan Kanafani’s account on being expelled from Akka. 

When we had to leave Yaffa for Acre there was no sense of tragedy. It felt like an annual trip to spend the feast in another city. Our days in Acre did not seem unusual: perhaps, being young, I was even enjoying myself since the move exempted me from school... Whatever, on the night of the big attack on Acre the picture was becoming clearer. That was, I think, a cruel night, passed between the stern silence of the men and the invocations of the women. My peers, you and I, were too young to understand what the whole story was about. On that night, though, certain threads of that story became clearer. In the morning, and as the Jews withdrew threatening and fulminating, a big truck was standing in front of our door. Light things, mainly sleeping items, were being chucked into the truck swiftly and hysterically.

As I stood leaning against the ancient wall of the house I saw your mother getting into the truck, then your aunt, then the young ones, then your father began to chuck you and your siblings into the car and on top of the luggage. Then he snatched me from the corner, where I was standing and, lifting me on top of his head, he put me into the cage-like metal luggage compartment above the driver's cabin, where I found my brother Riad sitting quietly. The vehicle drove off before I could settle into a comfortable position. Acre was disappearing bit by bit in the folds of the up-hill roads leading to Rass El-Naqoura [Lebanon].

It was somewhat cloudy and a sense of coldness was seeping into my body. Riad, with his back propped against the luggage and his legs on the edge of the metal compartment, was sitting very quietly, gazing into the distance. I was sitting silently with my chin between my knees and my arms folded over them. One after the other, orange orchards streamed past, and the vehicle was panting upward on a wet earth... In the distance the sound of gun-shots sounded like a farewell salute.

Rass El-Naqoura loomed on the horizon, wrapped in a blue haze, and the vehicle suddenly stopped. The women emerged from amid the luggage, stepped down and went over to an orange vendor sitting by the wayside. As the women walked back with the oranges, the sound of their sobs reached us. Only then did oranges seem to me something dear, that each of these big, clean fruits was something to be cherished. Your father alighted from beside the driver, took an orange, gazed at it silently, then began to weep like a helpless child.

In Rass El-Naqoura our vehicle stood beside many similar vehicles. The men began to hand in their weapons to the policemen who were there for that purpose. Then it was our turn. I saw pistols and machine guns thrown onto a big table, saw the long line of big vehicles coming into Lebanon, leaving the winding roads of the land of oranges far behind, and then I too cried bitterly. Your mother was still silently gazing at the oranges, and all the orange trees your father had left behind to the Jews glowed in his eyes... As if all those clean trees which he had bought one by one were mirrored in his face. And in his eyes tears, which he could not help hiding in front of the officer at the police station, were shining.

When we reached Sidon in the afternoon we had become refugees..
