Dutch - Palestinian Exchange

The Organ is my most favorite musical instrument
that I always wish to have all my childhood.

I start my day with a traditional breakfast with
my parents, with traditional food (Olive oil and
thyme)

I study at the university and I work also in
constructing the new building of the university,
so I can cover the expenses of my university
education. I represent many other Palestinian
youths who study and work at the same time

I like brunch breaks with my fellow workers,
because I enjoy chatting so much of the family,
political, social and economic situation of our
country

It is very important for me to connect with the
Creator, with God, and as a Moslem, I refer to
Qura'n a lot because it is my guiding book.

The Nativity Church is one of the most spiritual
places. For me, it is the origin of peace and
the birth place of the Lord of Peace Jesus
Christ

The land has always been important for us, my
parents have worked so hard to keep it, today I
find it my responsibility to cultivate the land
and protect it from the Israeli Occupation which
expropriated most of our fertile lands and left
us little.

I like watching the sunset… it is so beautiful.
The sun is an inspiration to me. Every evening I
like to sit alone there to reflect on the things
I did during the day, good and bad, looking
hopefully to the coming morning.

"Tenderness Spring", which the Israeli
occupation expropriated along with half of my
village, and annexed it to the state of Israel.
I challenged the occupation and get really
close; I risked my life to raise the Palestinian
flag while some Israeli soldiers were around.

I am sitting in front of the oldest olive tree
in the whole world; it is situated in my
village, Al Walaja"

Here, in the middle of the house, near the fire
place, where I study …. Oh this place witnessed
my night studying during the matriculation
exams.

Al Jazeera is my favorite channel, because due
to its local, regional and international
networks the world is now aware of the reality
of the Palestinian cause which was distorted by
the Israeli media.
