'To all those for whom these villages were home and to their descendants'
Amr Abu Daeb and family. Israelis demolished their house in East Jerusalem two weeks ago.
According to Ma'an News: "The director of the cartographic department in the society for Arab Studies, Khalil Toufakji, has warned of an ethnic cleansing operation against some 24,000 Palestinians in the old city of Jerusalem."
"Rubble from village houses" in Al-Mansura. Al-Mansura was ethnically cleansed in mid-November, 1948 when "Israel decided to empty the Israeli side of the Israeli-Lebanese border of its Arab villages." According to Walid Khalidi in All That Remains, "The people of al-Mansura were ordered to leave; some crossed into Lebanon but most were taken in trucks to the village of al-Rama, to the south." The villagers have sought to return home to Al-Mansura for many years, but to no avail, as Israel, in violation of UN Resolution 194 and Article 13, Section 2, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, refuses their inalienable right to return home because they are not Jewish.
The Zionists have razed all the houses in the village. In 1944/45, 26,619 dunums of land were owned by Arabs. Jews owned nothing. "The only village structure that still stands is the church of Mari Yohanna."

Khalidi's Dedication: "To all those for whom these villages were home and to their descendents."

Muted response to Mecca agreement
BBC 09 Feb 2007
The headline doesn't refer to the reaction in Gaza, where the article reports there to be 'jubilant scenes' accompanied by a photo of happy Gazans describing 'rapturous scenes' etc
No, the headline refers to the reaction elsewhere, in places like Tel Aviv and Washington, whose worries are far more important that a bunch of sub-human nobodies locked up in an Israeli warsaw ghettos (one of many provided free of charge by the Israeli master race), under illegal occupation and subjected to collective punishment for failing to follow their orders by voting in a democratic election for the political party of their own free choice, rather than for the one favoured by their illegal occupiers.
Such are the liberal values of Israel, which claims to be the region's only democracy - and of the US, the UK and the EU when they say they believe in liberal democracy and freedom!

Palestinian Mother of 11 children executed by the Israeli SS for trying to stop them beating her deaf husband, who didn't respond to their orders promptly enough!
She was shot a number of times, after which the Israeli SS prevented an ambulance from taking her to a hospital for 5 hours, and when it did arrive, all that could be done for her was to pronounce her dead.
