"I am a Palestinian.
We still hold the
key and deed to
our home in Lyd.
WE WILL return!"
I am a supporter
of human rights
and I want to see
the Palestinian refugees return home"
"I am from Tabaria. Its my right!
I want to go home!" ; "My home is in
Haifa and I want to return" ;
"I am not Palestinian,
but 60 years of forced exile is wrong.
Palestinians must be allowed to return home!"
Many thanks to all those from across
the globe who responded to our call last week!
For 60 years the Palestinian refugees' right to return to
their land and homes of origin has been under attack
from various forces that wish to rewrite the past and
dictate the present and future of Palestine and its
people. Despite these attacks, for 60 years Palestinians
and their supporters around the world have remained
steadfast in not just supporting this right, but
demanding and asserting that it is a right that
must be implemented if justice and real peace
are to be achieved. These voices unfortunately
have all too often been deliberately muffled and
fragmented ... It's time to collect these voices
-- literally.

On this the 60th year of the Nakba we are collectively
creating a Video Quilt demonstrating that among
Palestinian refugees and their many supporters
there remains a strong united voice for the Right
to Return. This Video Quilt stitches together the
voices of refugees and supporters around the
world and will be premiered at the 6th Annual
Al-Awda Convention on the 60th year of Al-Nakba.
It will be shown online and at various exhibits and
venues afterwards. Al-Awda's 6/60 Convention
will be held May 16-18, 2008 in Anaheim California.
