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.


 
These are the children of my older brother
