Our key still works

Kristen Ess - For the 60 year memorial of Al Nakba, I have been interviewing elderly refugees for months, people who remember their villages and towns, who talk about their old lives and the new ones they have etched out in the camps.

However on Monday I sat in the bedroom of a 21 year old refugee named Ghassan. His walls are covered with the posters of the killed from Deheisha Refugee Camp, the imprisoned and dead leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the leftist party of which he is a member. http://english. pnn.ps/index. php?option= com_content& task=view& id=2767&Itemid= 1

They washed away more than 500 dunams of land belonging to our citizens.” http://english. pnn.ps/index. php?option= com_content& task=view& id=2770&Itemid= 1

West Bank movement nearly impossible, Tulkarem resists by going ahead with scheduled plans

PNN – Israeli forces detained thousands of Palestinians throughout the West Bank Tuesday morning. In Za’tara alone, between Nablus and Salfit, hundreds of Palestinians were stuck. This is one of the few routes between the northern and southern West Bank.

Israeli forces are also stopping movement at the only checkpoint east of Tulkarem, however Tulkarem is holding a festival of nonviolent resistance in memorial of 60 years of Al Nakba, flying United Nations flags as a reminder of UN Resolution, the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees. http://english. pnn.ps/index. php?option= com_content& task=view& id=2769&Itemid= 1
