Morning Diary: Visiting Yafa “Jaffa, Yafo” | اليوم السادس و السابع في عروس فلسطين, يافا

April 26,27 2015

Wow, I am blessed to be here. I think everyone around the world deserves to visit this beautiful occupied land of Palestine. I feel we need to work together to give the freedom to all the Palestinians who have no rights to see their land.

This is Yafa to the Arabs, Yafo to the Jews, and Jaffa to the rest of the world. It is sad that the Jews decided to eliminate themselves from the Arabs and the rest of the world. Jewish is the definition of a religion, and not a nation, but they have formed it into a nation. Arabs are the people from the Middle East area, Palestine “Known to some as Israel” is in the heart of the Middle East, Europeans are the people from Europe, Africans are from Africa, Asian are from Asia, so what is the deal with Israel?

Spending a day in Yafa was not enough, I had to go again the very next day. This city is filled with wonders, filled with beautiful things to do and see. I finally got to meet Yafa. I finally got to see her soul, in Arabic they call her “عروست فلسطين – Arouset Filisteen” which stands for the Bride of Palestine. She really is. Her streets, her beach, her sea, her houses, her trees, her nature, they all speak to you. And when you connect with Yafa you can hear her laughter and her cries.

I started my first day in the Ajami area or what is also known as “Old Yafa”. This is where all the Palestinians in Yafa were surrounded in during the Israeli force attacks in 1948. Many people fled out of fear and out of force, the people who remained were dragged out of their houses and locked inside Old Yafa with no freedom to leave the neighborhood without permission from the Israeli forces. It is true, look it up and do your research. All the houses around old Yafa were confiscated and announced empty and abandoned. But who would abandon a beautiful bride on her wedding day? Yafa is supposed to be the bride everyday. But since 1948, Yafa has been jailed. She has been jailed and can no longer celebrate with the people who want to celebrate with her. Yafa is restricted today, she is not free to enjoy her wedding days anymore. The people who left their homes by force are never welcome back, the people who were locked inside old Yafa have no rights to return to their homes. Yafa has been raped and abused by the Israeli army.

Besides the ugly truth and politics, Old Yafa carries a flear market. A flea market filled with Jews and Arabs both selling antiques, gifts and food. It is so much fun to go around there and walk its streets. You can walk a triangle and inside the triangle. Head towards Yefet, Yehuda Meragoza, Yehuda Hayamit, Oley Zion. They don’t sound so Arab, they are still under the occupation. Must try Hummus at Abu Hassan, go for a walk by the port, tab by the beach, coffee at Basma’s coffee shop, and dinner by the flea market that turns into a dinning street.

روحت على يافا، و ما شبعت منها بيوم، فرجعت روحت بعد بيوم. ما احلا يافا، مش عادي شو حيلوة يافا. عروست فلسطين عل اكيد. كل شي بيافا حيلو، من البحر، للشوارع، للمباني، الطبيعا… كل شي بيافا غير.

انا بلشيت رحلتي في يافا بمنطقت العجمي، هاي المنطقة القديمة و الي معروفة ب اسم يافا القديمة. تاريخها بيحكي عن سنة النكبة و الاحتلال الصهيوني الي بعد ما تهجر جزء كبير من المدينة، حاصروا الجيش الصهيوني  العرب الي ضلوا في يافا بمنطقت العجمي. و افلوا عليهم. و صار الي بدوا يطلع من المنطقة يطلب تصريح. هل تصاريح الي من اول يوم احتلال و همه بيشتغلو فينا.  المشكلة منطقت ياقا صغيرة، و عل اكيد في ١٩٤٨ كانت اصغر. و العجمي، عبارا عن اكمن شارع، فل حصار كان خانق. و بوقت الحصار، اخدوا اليهود البيوت الي حولين المنطقة. و طلعت قرار انو البيوت اتهجرت و انتركت فاضية، . و لما فتحوا و اعطوا الحرية للفلسطنية الي بل عجمي، راحوا صحاب البيوت الي حولين العجمي غبيوتها، و كانت بيوتها مسكونة بيهود، و لليوم ما رجعت البيوت لحادا. فرح تلقو انو كل العجمي للعرب.

غير هيك، احلا شي المشي بين الشوارع القديمة، دراسة المعمار و التاريخ في يافا. بنصح بل حمص عند ابو حسن، و القهوة عند بسمة و المشي عن المنارة، و شويت تشميس و سباحا. و ما رح تشبعوا من يافا.

Morning Diary: Visiting Nasra “Nazareth” |اليوم السادس: زيارتي في الناصرة الساحرة و القرى المجاورة في فلسطين المحتلة

  1. April 25, 2015

I am so much behind on my Morning Diary. I have been scattered around the occupied areas of Palestine the past few days with very little access and time to internet. But I will do my best to post more often.

So anyway, last week, we decided to spend our saturday in Nasra or what is also known as Nazareth. I have figured out that most of the cities and villages names in Palestine have been changed to a hebrew sound alike name or the translation and meaning to Hebrew. For example, I have visited the destroyed village of Saffuriya, that today is named as “Tzippori” and is occupied and terrorized by Jewish Kibbutz or to some known as settlements.

Saffuriya is believed to be the birthplace of Mary “Mother of Jesus”, has been indicated to have been inhabited as early as the Iron age and building work can be verified from the 4th century. Was lived by Arabs whom shared a culture but were diverse in religion. Today Saffuriya is a destroyed village, with homes all demolished and only Jewish Kibbutz and Moshavs are found.

If you ever wonder where all the people of the destroyed villages go, then let me tell you that they are scattered in refugee camps, in nearby villages, or citizens of foreign countries. A village like Saffuriya today is only resided by Jewish, and you will not find any Arabs there, and Arabs are not allowed to buy or own property. Most of the people who were once upon a time from Saffuriya are still heart-broken for not being able to go back to where it was once called “home”. Unfair is a little underrated.

Anyway, on my day in Nasra, I went to a very famous spice shop “Elbabour – Galilee Mill” founded in 1905, after which we started walking in the old city to come across The Church of the Annunciation “كنيسة البشارة”, which is known as what used to be the home to Mary. We then walked the old market, met some few generous Palestinians from the market, and enjoyed a great middle-eastern meal of Mashawi and humus.

After that I met with family relatives, who decided to take me to the destroyed village Saffuriya and informed me about the tradition of the villagers who gather and meet at the ruins of the village away from the settlements on the day of the Nakba “May 15 1948” and mourn over the memory of the village. I also learned that this is a tradition by all the people who come from destroyed villages.

I was then taken to another village “Reineh” that resisted the occupation and were lucky to keep their village in 1948. This is a village only lived by Palestinians, Arabs both Christian and Muslim and is considered to be Israel. Under the occupation. This village is lived by people from Reineh and people from close by destroyed villages. Their memories of Israeli terror have been passed down to their children, and their children have passed down the memories to us and it shall continue until we reach the freedom to all the Palestinians around the world.

في ناس طلبت مني اكتب بل عربي. و انا كتير حابه بس للاسف مش متعودة و عندي اخطء املأية كتير فأعزروني بس رح احويل. و اليوم رح تكون اول تجربة.

الاسبوع الماضي روحت على الناصرة، الي في المناطق المحتلة من اسرأيل.  انو انا بشوف انو كل فلسطين تحت الاحتلال. لانو الفلسطنبة بكل انحاء العالم تحت نفس الاحتلال من جهات مختلفة. الي بسموهم فل داخل عايشين الاحتلال الاول كون جوازاتهم و التزامتهم مع اسرأيل نفسها. الي فل ما يتسما بل ضفة فهمه محرومين الحركة الحرية في المناطق المحتلة الى في تقديم لتصريح ممكن ينرفض. الفلسطنية الي فل دول حولين العالم، ازا كانت جوازتهم عربية فهي شبه مستحيلة للزيارة غير الاستحالة للعودة. الفلسطنية الي عندهم جوازات اجنبية و الحصول على جوازات اجنبية مش سهلة عندهم الامكانية للزيارة بس بعملهوم زي اي فلسطيني بشدة و صعوبة مررور. الفلسطنية الي بل مخيامات فهمه قضية تانية لحالها.

المهم انا رحت على الناصرة، و اجمل اشي بكل فلسطين، هوه جمال تاريخها الواضح. و اكتر شي بألم و بجرح هوه وضوح اليهود المحتلين بيوت العرب و التاريخ، الثقافة و العادات. انا روحت على محل بهارات فل ناصرة موجود من عام 1905 “البابور في منطقة الجليل الناصرة الساحرة“, و كل ما اشوف اشي تاريخي ليسا لفليسطيني و عربي بقول الحمدلله. و بعدين مشينة عل الارض العريقة و قديمة لكنيسة البشارة الي معروف انو ستنا مريم كانت ساكنة في. بعد هي التجربة الروحانية الجميلة روحنا اكلنا مشاوي و حمص فلسطيني.

بعدين، اجوا اخدوني ارايب فلسطنية ما عمري التقيت فيهم من قبل و طبعا زي كل الفلسطنية و اكتر كان ترحيبهم جميل جدا. اخادوني لقرية مهجرة اسمها “صفورية” المهدمة. هاي القرية معروفة بأنو ستنا مريم نولدت فيها. و وقت الاحتلال هرابوا و طرادوا كل اهل القرية غلى المناطق المجاورة، و هادوا كل بيوتها، بس ممكن تروحوا و تلاقوا بواقي. زي الدرج الي بل الصور “تحت” او السور او… و اهل القرية الي ليسا موجدين بل مناطق المحتلة كل سنة وقت النكبة 15/05/1948 بروحوا على القرية و بحيوا الزكرة بالقصص القديمة. هادا اشي سنوي بيسير بكل القرة المهجرة و هوه اشي فعلن جميل و مؤلم بنفس الوقت.

روحت كمان على قرية مجاورة “الرينة” الي لعرب، و سكانها منها و من القرة الي اتهجرت من عجمبها.

انشالله تجربتي الاولى بلغتنا المميزة و الجميلة ما تكون كتير سيأة و انا رح احويل اني اقويها و اكتب اكتر بلعربي.

 

 

Morning Diary: Visiting Akka “Akko” |اليوم الخامس: زيارتي في عكا فلسطين المحتلة

April 24 2015

Visiting Akka, is like a dream come to reality. I have been here 3 years ago and today felt like the very first time again. The stone speaks to you history, the colors are ancient Arabian, a City like this can not be anything but pure Middle-Eastern.

I have learned so much today, so much about the Palestinian culture and the Israelis. I have learned that where you see trees of cactus and fig, then be certain that the Arabs live or have lived there. Palestinians used to grow cactus around their villages, and Israel has been trying to get rid of them, but cactus trees are stubborn. I have learned that Israel built itself from building communities through Kibbutz and Moshav. A kibbutz is a group of people and families who live together, eat together, grow up together, go to school together and share their money equally. And a Moshav is like a neighborhood that includes a small land along with the house for families to plant and use for agriculture. Both are with a gate that closes at night and need a special code to enter, and both are only Jewish. I learned that Akka is connected to Ras al-Nakhoura “Rosh HaNikra” and is a chalk cliff that were formed into cave looking mountains from the Mediterranean Sea.

I learned that occupied Palestine is a love affair. You can never get enough of learning about it, and the more you learn about it, the deeper you fall in love with it. I learned that Palestine wants to be for everyone and Israel’s occupation is only diluting it.

Morning Diary: Attending Al Nakba Protest versus Israel Independence Day Celebrations |اليوم الرابع: مسيرة العودة يوم احتفال اسرائيل لعيد استقلال

April 23 2015

As soon as I told my mother that I will be in Palestine during the day the Israelis celebrate their independence day, she replied to me saying, “Independence from who or what?”. Seriously. What independence are they celebrating? Our Nakba? The Palestinian occupation? Are they celebrating winning over a land that was never theirs? For those who are not aware of what Nakba is: In 1948 750,000 Palestinians were forced to leave their homes along with 31 massacres, and 531 Palestinian villages destroyed. Unfortunately house demolishing, village destroying and more Palestinians are being forced to leave until today. And this is what Israel is celebrating.

Oh well, there are so many things in this country that just sound crazy, to those who are well exposed to the truth of it all. Anyway, on that very same day, Palestinians who are in occupied Palestine “known as Israel” join a protest in one of the 1948 destroyed villages, demanding the rights of all the Palestinian around the world to return home. Not only do most Palestinians around the world have no rights to return home, but yet worse than all of that, most Palestinians around the world (including the West Bank) are not allowed to even visit their own home. And this is a fact. So Palestinians in the West Bank are unable to join the protest, unless they have permission from Israel.

I was unable to make it all the way to where the protest took place, but I did go half way, and I was very much touched to see children and elders join the protest. A woman who was in her late 70’s said, “I have joined this protest since they started 18 years ago, and I will join it every year until we get our rights to return home.”

Besides the storming politics of my day, I had a wonderful Palestinian breakfast prepared by one of the most generous and warm Palestinian mother who lives in occupied Palestine. She made me a dish called “Shakshoka” and it is just like “Alayet Bandoura with eggs”. Delicious. I was very lucky to meet such a warm family.

Later in the evening, we headed to Haifa, one of my favorite cities in Palestine. I had a walk around the neighborhood and was invited for dinner: a great dish of Kofta with Tahini at the German Street.

Morning Diary: Moving from Nablus to the Occupied Territories – Palestine Israel | اليوم الثالث:زيارتي من نابلس الى المناصق المحتلا

April 22 2015

I couldn’t blog my last few days since I was caught up between moving from one place to another, lost my connection as I moved from the West Bank area (supposedly a free Palestinian area only you are a little locked in and have no rights to move out without the permission of the Israelis) to the 1948 occupied Palestinian areas (or to what most people refer to as Israel). So if you have a Palestinian line in the Palestinian territories, you can no longer use it in the occupied territories, and we are talking about areas that are only 10 minutes away from one another. Insane, but true.

But anyway, on my third day, I was lucky enough to have a local Nabulsi نابلسي young man to be my guide and show me around, and he showed me the wonders of Nablus. As the Samaritans السامريون told me there: “3 things you must do while in Nablus” 1- Eat Knafeh 2- Visit a Nabusli Soap Company مصنع صابون نابلسي and 3-Visit Mount Gerizim but I believe you should add 4- Have Mashawi BBQ 5- Walk the old city and 6- Visit Mount Ebal.

And truly, this is what I did, we went to one of the biggest Nabulsi Soap companies in Nablus “Al Jamal – Shakaa Company” and I promise you it is like going into Disney land, for it is a world of it’s own, and not just any world, a beautiful slippery one. I truly loved it from learning about the Olive Oil to how they mix with Water and very little baking soda, then they spread it in an indoor field, they leave it for about 4 months to dry, hand cut each one, hand stamp each one, and hand package each one. Amazing.

Then we went to have food, great Mashawi, made with the best spices, of-course this meal should be followed with a Knafeh the most amazing dessert in Palestine. As we finished we headed to the “Khan Al Wikaleh” old city where the oldest cinema is located and what is now known as where the Milano shoe shop is. We checked out the new project renovation that is just beautiful to visit. You will find Ancient Roman leftovers.

As we finished we headed towards the hilltop of Jirzeim where the Samaritans are located, and we went for a tour there where apparently they have a gate of their own and you sort of need permission to enter. As we were finished, time have passed us by and I had to rush back and leave Nablus to Tulkarem to meet with my friends from the 1948 occupied area.

I was there in no time, my friends from Nablus could no longer go further; they were not allowed in the occupied territories (into Israel). Since they are not occupied by the Israelis, they are locked in the West Bank. Therefore we had to wait for my Palestinian friends who have Israeli passports to come in and pick me up to cross the boarder.

I went in and started my journey inside the 1948 occupied territories. Again greeted by the warmest Palestinian families, they made me feel at home. The warmth they have in their hearts is remarkable. I was welcomed into 3 homes, listening to stories that break our hearts and eating food cooked by Palestinians. I had Fteret Zaatar and Wara Dawali.

Morning Diary: Visiting Nablus – Palestine | اليوم الثاني: زيارتي في نابلس

April 21 2015,

Today I packed my bags, and before moving to my next destination, I went to meet with an old Palestinian man, who sat with me and told me about his story with his house; that he lost, when he was a kid. The house that turned into a dream house, visiting the dream house that turned into a goal, and the visit that turned into an Israeli Palestinian one of a kind relationship. A relationship that started in search for peace, in search for a solution to the conflict, in search for a solution to return the houses that belong to Palestinians, in hopes that justice will take place for both parties. The story created heart-break, unjustified answers to open questions, but a new unpredictable light of hope. The house was turned into a nursery for Palestinian kids in the occupied territories “what many today like to call Israel”.

There is hope. I believe, to the Palestinian Israeli ongoing conflict. Even if it feels super complex, but I still feel there must be a way. I finished listening to the story and went on with my trip to Nablus, what is supposedly my hometown. A home I never lived in, visited only few times, although it is literally an hour and a half drive from Amman; “The city I live in today”. But since the occupation decided to make things complicated, I now need about 10 hours to get to what is supposed to be home.

I must admit that I felt home, the moment I walked into Ramalla, I felt home. I felt safe, I felt between my people, for once, I can say my people. Since where ever you go, there is always the question: Where are you from? And for the very first time, I have to stop thinking about the answer, and instead just say…. I am from Here. And in Nablus, I felt rooted, it is such a beautiful feeling to know that your ancestors existed here, walked on this same street you are probably walking on, when people ask about your name and they know who you are and who your grandfather and his grandfather is.

I had great lunch at relatives, great hospitality, beautiful energy, warm and welcoming. I then headed downtown, to the cold city, of the center of the city, where it was filled with shops between old houses and old buildings, all made of old stone and you can smell history in it. Friendly, warm and loving people.

 

Morning Diary: Visiting Ramalla – Palestine | اليوم الاول: زيارتي في رام الله

April 20 2015,

I left Amman on the 19th towards Palestine, what is supposed to be an hour drive. But since I have to cross the border with a Canadian passport and an Arabic name, regardless that it is not mentioned anywhere that I am originally Palestinian, but I seem to carry a well-known Palestinian family name and a Jordanian passport like most Palestinians, it had to take me 6 hours to get there.

Five hours of waiting. interrogated 4 times with the same set of questions, and there you go, half my day was spent at the border staring at the ceiling. Worth it. At least for me. Palestine is worth a wait for days, months, and to many of us, years and generations.

I arrived to Ramalla, starving. So we went to have the best Shwerma in town “Abu Iskandar”. Seriously, it is the size of 3 shwerma sandwiches in Amman. Delicious and rich. The next day, I went to visit Kalandia Refugee Camp and met “Im Nimer” a woman who was thrown out of her own village Sar’a قرية صرعة and is still waiting to go back. She has her house key saved around the house, although her house was demolished years ago. She said to me, “I want to go back, I don’t care where I will stay, I will sit on fabric under a tree for all I care, I just want to feel back home, back to where I belong, back to what was once taken away from me by force, where I met my husband, where I planned my wedding, and I want to just live my last 2 months before I die.”

After this heart breaking story, I went to visit Beirzeit, a Palestinian town very close to Ramalla. Very old, and very authentic. Met another old woman by coincidence as soon as we parked, she looked gorgeous and stylish, I couldn’t resist taking photos of her, and then she expressed so much love to me, I am someone that she doesn’t know, just a Palestinian stranger, but to most Palestinians, you are no longer a stranger if you meet randomly, you are always lucky to meet new faces to welcome and cherish.

I then headed back to Ramalla, had another shwerma from Iskandar, and walked around the old city of Ramalla Tahta and the city center.
