I am a 73 year old man and I have spent the better part of my life trying to understand why I seem to always feel a certain sadness in my heart. Then I thought, maybe this had something to do with it. Hopefully this story brings out others like me. In 1963 Zionists came to my home in Casablanca Morocco, to convince my parents to send me and my little sister to Israel without them. I was 12 and my sister 9 when we started our miserable journey to the "Promised land". It destroyed our family and left me and my sister with long lasting scars neither one of us has been able to heal. Being from Morocco made it even more difficult to live in a more racist country than Morocco ever was. We had a very peaceful life as Jews living amongst Muslims in Morocco. We understood each other and helped each other. To this day, the principal advisor to King Mohamed is a Jew. But the Zionists needed boddies to fill Israel and slowly claim more and more land from the Palestinians they kept displacing. The people running Israel are not Jews. True Jews would have helped the Palestinians evolve and share in their fortunes, like we did for centuries in the Arab world. Israel claims it is defending itself? Against whom? The people they have been displacing and opressing for 80 years? Israel, my advice to you, if you want to survive, get rid of the religious zealots who run your government and join the 21st century.
@joelbitton No, it wasn't my doing , but it pains me nonetheless. I was born in 1963, when they uprooted you from your home. I wouldn't do any harm to anyone ,specially not to children. Take care .
“One state from the river to the sea with equal rights to all citizens regardless of religion and ethnicity.” “We must insist that Palestine survives, there is no other acceptable alternative.” Thank you everyone! 🇵🇸
Edward Said's son sounds and looks just like him..excellent speech he has provided in this video. I purchased a few of Mr. Said's books. ..i cannot wait to read The Question of Palestine.
We are faced with the very simple question , do we continue to divide and conquer ,or unite and flourish . Mankind is broken to it's knees and Palestine is the litmus test . The killing needs to stop . Very moving speakers . Thankyou for this Festival of Palestine Literature .

@@tom_suarez no, I was just wondering if he might have done so. Quite improbable it is, obviously. I’d like to add that I see the only way out of the mess in Palestine in a process where all parties involved start admitting their mistakes. As the dead can’t do it, it’s is up to us that are alive, to do it. Being a European citizen, it is my duty to speak up against the arming and the excusing of the actions of modern day Israel, by the administrations that claim to represent me.
Talking about an imaginary nation-state that never existed in recognized history is a time waster. But that is my opinion. Authors like JRR Tolkien or CS Lewis wasted many months writing about fictional countries. They sold many books about Middle Earth and Narnia.

LIBRARIES, HISTORIC PAPERS, EVERY UNIVERSITY… it’s MIND-Blowing. The 95 year old I care for says “if this was the 30’s Netanyahu & his cabinet would’ve been HUNG BY NOW”…. Just like that. Simple as day she said it. 🤷🏻♀️she would know.
We are witnessing the Palocaust in real time. Not confronting this genocidal Zazi regime in Israel is akin to not confronting Hitler out of fear of destabilizing Europe " *Gaza* *has* *become* *the* *moral* *compass* *of* *the* *world* " - Rev. Munther Isaac

Ben Gurion said " the memory of older Palestinian will never Die, and the younger will never Forget"
did he repent?
I assume you're joking? Ben-Gurion, despicable racist that he was, said the opposite, that the old will die and the young will forget.

I noticed that on the night.
