Pictures of Al-Nakba (as we approach the 60th Anniversary)

Hanini

Dear all,

As we approach the 60^th Anniversary of Al-Nakba,
the disaster that befell the indigenous natives of the
Holy land: the Palestinian Arabs at the hands
of the Zionist criminals, I invite everyone to
view and forward the haunting and thought
provoking images that I have humbly acquired
and gathered on my web site…There are quite
a few images that if one didn't know were of
Palestinian refugees, they could be easily
mistaken of Jews in the ghettos and camps
of Europe during the Nazi period!

The pictures of Lifta, the village of my grandmother
and my wife's family are also special. Lifta was a
Palestinian village that was ethnically cleansed of
its Palestinian inhabitants who had lived there for
ages. Many of Lifta's homes are still standing,
including the home which my 91 years old
father in-law was born in. The Zionists
made sure to blow holes in the roofs and
floors of these magnificent homes to ensure
that they would become uninhabitable by
their owners and that they would not return
to them! This cruel and inhumane practice
could still be seen in many of the pictures…

Lifta is a special case because it is the only
remaining Palestinian village whereby the
Zionists have not erased any and all signs
of the previous Palestinian inhabitants as they
had done to the more than 500 other
Palestinian villages that were completely destroyed…

I urge everyone to take a few moments to
view the pictures and reflect as we approach the 60^th
Anniversary of the gross injustice of Israel's creation
at the expense of the natives of Palestine, knowing
that each picture has its own distinct story to tell
…Please feel free to share these pictures and
forward them to everyone you know…
We shall NEVER forget even though we live
in a world that encourages us to forget while
at the same time, it encourages everyone to
"remember" the pain of Holocaust…

Also, if anyone has any pictures of their own or have pictures that I can use on my site, please feel free to send them to me!!!
