Up until today in 1967 one could take a drive from any Jordanian spot to Jersualem with his car, visit the holy places and go for a ride around Palestine and return the same day.
Israel with its support from the US defied the world and invaded the Arab landed and occupied Palestine on this day 39 years ago. The UN clearly condemned this event and ordered the
"Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict".
Thirty-nine years later, we are still waiting.
People were kicked from their land, cities were occupied and whoever asked for justice was either killed or thrown into jail. Israeli crimes continued and still continue up to this day with killing civilians and throwing bombs and wiping out villages and preventing the injuried and the sick from getting medical help in a land which is not theirs.
If this isn't terrorism, what is terrorism?
Remembering Mahmood Darwish's words.....
سجِّل.. برأسِ الصفحةِ الأولى
أنا لا أكرهُ الناسَ
ولا أسطو على أحدٍ
ولكنّي.. إذا ما جعتُ
آكلُ لحمَ مغتصبي
حذارِ.. حذارِ.. من جوعي
ومن غضبي!!

I remember once needing the signature of the head of a certain dpeartment and i looked for him all over the hospital eventually found him playing tarneeb in the gynecology changing rooms with 3 other doctors :D

Linda... it's imrpoving for the Israelis big time although they're trying to give the impression they are not. For the Arabs and Palestenians it's getting so much worse although the American tries to hide the truth.
