Palestine … How could I ever describe how much I love you?
I have never been to Palestine, and I do not know when I will be fortunate enough to set foot there. However, not a day passes by without me wishing to be there, and wondering whether or not I will ever get to see where my family came from. In Palestine, I imagine everything will be different: The smell, the view, the feel itself. As if we are on a different planet with a different soul. It is injustice showing us its ugliest of its faces when a Palestinian cannot even visit his/her homeland peaceully, and a non-Palestinian or even Arab gets to go there whenever he/she pleases.
It just happens that I am currently packing as we are moving houses. It would be nice to close my eyes and open them the next day in a place that so far exists only in my dreams!
I do not have very much to offer, but like many, I give all I can now; a heart and a mind, a prayer, and a post that is not at all fancy. The more valuable something is, the harder it is to express what meaning it holds.
God bless Palestine and grant Palestinians strength, patience, and most importantly, hope.

I once read this phrase and it stuck in my mind:
” We call it palestine where the sun shine ”
well I have my own theory although it may seem racist (I don’t care to be honest :P) ….anyway, I strongly believe that Palestinian people and Lebanese are the best , (most beautiful , creative , social , determined ….etc)
that’s not because I’m Palestinian originally but really I believe it is a fact , the most literate and people with high certificates are palestinians although they are refugees in everywhere they are the best business people as well started from nothing to huge busnesses ………….
I have a lot to say but this is only a comment……
I wish I can share success stories I know for palestinain people in everywhere in world … I guess I’m going to start my own blog
or you can accept to publish it here …. thanks
