Heart break of a witness.

Ms. Hayat Balha Abu Shmeis, met by chance with Haji Salim Muhammad Salim Abu Junaid, from the town of Al-Khayriyah, Jaffa, where he was born in 1936.

During this meeting, this witness to the Palestinian Nakba spoke heartily about his memories in his village, and when he was displaced from it.

He talks about the British army, before its withdrawal in 1948 and how they gave their weapons to the Jewish gangs such as the Haganana, the Irgun Stern, and trained them in 1947.

Haj Salim described the street of Jamal Pasha as it was beautiful and one of the most beautiful streets in the Middle East at that time. It had Eucalyptus trees lining both sides of the street, and in the middle, there was an island of water.

 He added that he was working for Yasser Arafat as a translator to explain to foreigners about the Palestinian Catastrophe /Nakba. Since the promise of the Balfour, who promised to the Jews that he would make a government for them in Palestine.

He recounts in his speech explaining how he started talking about the Nakba; ‘’The thief and the foolish man Balfour, he gave my land and home in Jaffa to the Jews, is my land in Jaffa for him so he gave it to the Jews? He can give them his city London, he can give them a British country, why he arranged everything to dismiss the people of Palestine out of their motherland and he gave our land to the Jews. Why do this against us? Why did he not make a government for the Jews in his country England?” 

He said that whoever lives in his house is now a Jewish family from Iraq, and that there are also lands that belong to them, and now he is in a deplorable condition and does not have enough money to live on.

  This young boy bids farewell to his brother; as a matter of fact, he is saying see you soon after the whole world has failed to protect and save them from the prison of Gaza, where they were born and murdered. This is one of the many prisons made by the zionists inside occupied Palestine; it is considered the worst. It is horrible that all they could see behind the prison's wall was the zionist army, which kept causing destruction, murder, maiming and devastation inside Gaza and the lives of the Palestinians for 75 years.

Drowning in a Sea of Rubbish

 The refuse problem has always been an issue on the Palestinian Refugee camps, but recently it's been getting worse and worse. If you step outside the camps and into Lebanon itself you will see that there is a general issue with rubbish, there are very few collections and it really does pile up everywhere, but on the camps, there is no where else for it to go so it is piling up and is starting to cause massive health risks.  The smell is unbearable, the piles are drawing pests and swarms of insects and flies and it won't be long until there is a serious health problem on the camps. UNRWA does what it can but they seem oblivious to what is going on regarding this serious issue.  An incinerator on the camps would be ideal, not only would it deal with the waste issue but it would generate much needed electricity to meet the shortfall on the camps and make them more self sufficient.  This video gives you more of an impression as to what the actuality is on the camps.

Palestinian lives do not matter for Helen Mirren.

Helen Mirren, Another Murder. Without humanity and no sense of justice, Palestinians' lives do not matter to Dame Helen Mirren.   Helen, have you forgotten British history? Specifically, the first of killing the Palestinians and selling of their land to the Zionists? A woman with your history would not mind it; you will enjoy it just like the wicked witch of the West that you are! You add your name to the list of evil people by demonising a victim's history. She has the vicarious pleasure of killing Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists, and as we know, Zionism is a political ideology anyone can adopt any race, nationality, or belief. With your statement, you make yourself a non-human person; yes, you are anthropoidal, but you are a human without humanity. You and your evil rhetoric are a massive part of our suffering, and we will make sure to keep your name written down in our history books that you are an evil witch, full of hatred and racism. How can you claim to
