      There will be a Judgement Day according to the Bible & Koran. In 150yrs from today all who are alive right now will be standing before his/her Creator to be judged the way they lived their lives. So Natanyahu, your supporters, and IDF know what's coming to you!!

Thank you for lending your voice here and introducing me to Ghassan Kanafani’s beautiful, poignant, heart wrenching writing still so so relevant, and highlighting the plight of many many more Nadias. May we all live to see a Free Palestine!!

      ​​​​ So, you support terrorism, and genocide as long as it's terrorism, & genocide against J's?
      Muslims have a right to 49 states in the world, but you don't think the J's have a right to one teeny, tiny, little one?
      Sounds like J h--8tred to me.
      Why do you think it's okay to ann*hilate Israel, while Muslims have all their states?
      The partition of Pakistan (which happened in '48) wiped out hundreds of thousands, and displaced millions.
      You care nothing about THAT partition.
      The J's have an ancient history in ME too - and it pre-dates Islam. So, why do you think Israel has no right to exist in peace?
      Too bad the Arabs didn't acccept their partition in '48. There could have been peace, but the Arabs wanted war.
      Now, Egypt, Jordan etc., are afraid of violent Palestinians too.
      It's not Israels fault they accepted their partition. That was a smart move for the Zionists.
      The world would be worse off without Israel. Since Israel is the only democracy in the ME.
      Why do you want the world to be worse off?

For understanding appreciating the work of that Palestinians writer, who sadly, he also was killed by a Israeli Police ages ago, but you see how write you are, we as well as various other people had watched this programme listening to his special letter written to his childhood friend, emotionally read by Mr. John Berger who happens to be a fan! I shall try to find his work & enjoy reading it! Such pain atrocities the Palestinians had to, & still do endure from Israel supported of course by United States whom I thought followed International Law! God bless Humanity!

Praying this unfolding strategy is the beginning of the end to a nightmare that started 75 years ago. Thanks for sharing such lovely thoughts and words. May you both be together in heaven sending your light into this dark world.

    It is so painful to go through all this again, including his Assassination. I must add that your narration is one of the most beautiful things that happened to Ghassan’s thoughts

    This is the story of almost every Palestinian who lives out of historical land of Palestine . Wherever this palestinian is, deep in his soul, he hears the cry of the land: come back.

    This man reads his friend's letter with love, compassion, and pain. Two men share the same goals, love, friendship, and the same sentiments for Gaza. So much love and humanity eminates through that letter.
