Posted on April 7, 2007
Purpose
- To emphasize that the CORE issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are the
DISPOSSESSION and ETHNIC CLEANSING (compulsory population transfer to achieve political gains)
of the Palestinian people for the past six decades. In our opinion, the conflict would have been
at the same level of intensity even if both parties had been Jewish, Muslims, or Christians.
- To create an easy medium where refugees can
communicate, organize, and share their experiences amongst themselves. The
refugees are encouraged to attach their stories, memories, pictures, movies,
music files, join discussions at the message board and guest book sections,
directory service listing of the refugees and their contact information, and
URL links related to each listed town.
- To provide a comprehensive source of information about the villages and cities that were ethnically
cleansed, looted, and destroyed by the Israeli army. At each town's homepage, you will find pictures (both
before and after 1948), the current status of the town, the Israeli colonies
that occupy the town's lands, a brief history of the town before and after
Nakba, detailed accounts of atrocities and any acts of terror, personal
accounts from the refugees themselves, and above all live
interviews from refugees reciting their experiences
before, during and after al-Nakba.
- To preserve the memories and the experiences of the Palestinian people around the world, especially the 726,000 Palestinians refugees
who were ethnically cleansed from their homes,
farms, and businesses as a result of the 1948 war. Currently, the dispossessed refugees number 6.5
million and constitute the great majority of the Palestinian people. On the political front, so far their voices have gone unheard, and we at PalestineRemembered.com hope to amplify their voices in cyberspace.
- To increase refugees' awareness of their rights to return to their homes, farms, and businesses based on
United Nations General Assembly resolution 194. Based on this resolution, every single
refugee has the right to go back to his or her home, and to be compensated for any loss of their properties, pain, and suffering.
- To respond to the widely popular Zionist myth that: "Palestine was a country with no people for
people with no country", at length we have responded to this myth.
With the help of our online community (made up of tens of thousands of refugees), visitors to the site can verify how Palestine has its people who
are rich with history, culture and values.
- To reach out to Israelis so they can feel the human behind this "Palestinian" or "the enemy", who was forced out
from his home, farm, and business to make way to persecuted European Jewish
refugees. We are proud to be one of the few mediums where Israelis and Palestinians can reach out to each other and meet, of
course other than at the humiliating checkpoints. It should be noted, that the
majority of the site's page views comes from Israel, and many of the pictures
and films that we have of the
destroyed villages were shared by Israelis. We understand that many Israelis
and Jews around the world support the Palestinian struggle for justice and are
willing to do their part in bringing an end to the wrongs of the past.
- To send clear and an unambiguous message to all the Westerners that the
Palestinian people cannot be crossed for what they have sinned against
their Jewish citizens. Palestine and its people cannot be the saviors
for their tortured conscious and souls for what they have done to the Jews who
used to call Europe home. Their blind support to the "Jewish state" and its
racists policies is blindly guided with their guilty conscious. Locking Jews,
Palestinians and Arabs into eternal struggle will neither bring peace to the
Middle East nor to the whole world.
-
In the Spring of 2003, PalestineRemembered.com launched al-Nakba's Oral History Project. As of now,
we have conducted no less than 370 interview, covering 175 town, and
containing over 1,200 hours of recording, click here to
learn more. This project is in serious need of your help to expand it
outside of Jordan and to guarantee its continuity. Currently, it is being
funded from private funds, and unfortunately there is so much to do in such a
little time. Your generous donation, no matter how little it is, will be critical for the project's survival.
Click
here, if you wish to send your donation.
- Spread and promote the site especially among Palestinians who are capable of documenting the memories of their relatives.
To help you promote the website among Palestinians, we have prepared a
flier in MS Word format, click
here to download. Please be free to print and distribute in community
your centers, mosques, churches, and shops.
- If you have any pictures about your hometown
(whether old or new), you can help us by either scanning the pictures and
uploading the images directly to the site.
- If you are from a village that has been destroyed, publicize your village's page to your friends and family. Help us
publicize the injustice that has been perpetrated against your people.
If
you are an Israeli, you can help us by contributing any information or pictures
you have about the destroyed or ethnically cleansed cities and villages. We at
PalestineRemembered.com do not judge all Israelis or Jews by the actions
of the Zionist movement and its leaders. We understand that many Israelis and
Jews around the world support the Palestinian struggle for justice and are
willing to do their part in bringing an end to the wrongs of the past

On the 60th anniversiry of establishing Isreal and on George Bush statment there , in addition to the new attitude of most arab leaders toward our case i felt that we are plalestinians are going toward absumption ...Isreal will ever last the spoiled boy of America and this will never change till the American people realize that Israel is costing and will cost them alot if they kept the support to their leaders . A change will come from America only since Isreal is week without America , if the conflict is left between us without an outside involvemnt ,then we will know how to deal with the zionist, we have no issues with Jews , histoy approved this ,the issue is with the Zionist only which looking for expanding Isreal and going to the neighbor countries , if the jews have history in the land , then giving them back thier land in this ؟Nazist؟ way is not a civil act , we paid the price of ؟Hitalr ؟and we are paying the price of America's political intrests in the reagion ...but we know for sure that America will not last for Isreal ,as well as the Americans will not stay beside their leaders , we count on this as the whole world start to realize what America is .
I really thank you for this wonderful archive and appreciate your efforts to keep working on it and keep updating it ,and kindly transtale ro English as much you can .
Also thank all the foreign from all the world who Courageously spoke and wrote their opinions to supports our case.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am commenting on this web site. Only with initiatives like this can we bring out the truth before the public. Hats off for the unbiased treatment of the issue. And I 'd like to quote a verse(translation) from Glory Q'ran " When truth is heard against falsehood, falsehood perishes and falsehood by its nature is bound to perish"

Very glad to see such professional & serious work! This is how to aveive our goals. Hope to see this site developed more & more with your efforts & ours. God bless. S.Hijjawi

A few years agoI learned a little bit about Palestine and the victims of ethnic cleansing. It is so very sad and unfair. I am 42 years old & of 1/2 Jewish heritage. I remember as a small child hearing of the state of Israel and how "Wonderful" it was. Even then I didn't understand what it had to do with me, an American. Oh so very sad that innocent people suffer because of what Hitler did in Europe. And now, because of our conflict in the Middle East most American people are so quick to judge with a closed heart. The English language poetry on this site is greatly appreciated.

My recommendation to try to end Gaza siege, is to have Hamas leadership call for general strike for all muslim & arab workers in the oil & gas industry. Ask them to help by refusing to go to work until the siege is lifted. If succesful in drving a strike, this people led campain may be very powerful.

Palestinian and Israeli conflict stands at the center of all other issues in the Middle East. There are still few Americans that treat the Palestinians as if they part of the human race. Palestinian people are exposed to degrading cruelty.
We read of political assassinations. Their homes are destroyed. They live in Apartheid. American Government acts as if this is natural, or even acceptable. The Palestinian movement does not have enough individuals in the USA to help bring about a change in US policy in the region.
The Campaign to End the Occupation of Palestine still needs our help. We all need to make sovereignty for Palestine central to any support of Israel. That justice for the Palestinian people is central to peace in that region must be taken very earnestly.
The truth is Israel will only be secure when there is security and justice for the Palestinian people. The Peace movement in Israel understands this and the means through which a just and equitable peace can be secured for Palestinians is central to their program. Israelis fate is closely tied to the fate of the Palestinians. There are two nations and one country. Like any other settler state the settlers and the ingenious people must be reconciled within that one country. To restate this point Palestinians have an equivalent "not a superior" claim to the land, all the land, than the Israelis. Many American intellectuals are supporters of regional Manifest Destiny, settlers against the indigenous people of this region. These speakers of half-truth can never understand any ؟settler state؟ that cannot act in good faith with out first examining her soul.

This website deserves all due respect, it is an e-archive, and an international forum for the most long lived blight for the Palestinian people, and the centre of the world Middle East".
It must be known that the tyrants and oppresseors must learn what future hold for their continued oppression.
Palestine is a holy land, blessed by Allah, and tyrants will not live long in this land...

There'll be a Palestine state and it's near.... it is not going to be a smooth way for Israel in the next 60 years because it's going to be the end, for Israel but not for Jewish.

A letter from a Palestinian from Palestine to All humans around the world:
First of all I would like to let you know that this website is reality itself. Here you well learn the truth and anything else you heard or used to think is the same exact reason why there is a conflict in the first place. So special thanks and respect to the people who made this site and I would love to help you on it.
Secondly, Now after you learn the real history of Palestine its mandatory on you to learn about Islam itself. Islam in its beautiful form as a religion of peace and mercy. If you believe it has anything to do with terrorisim then you're sharing in this ethnic cleansing! why? because Jews and Christians both support the idea of war against Islam and they're both pushing for "Armagadon". Islam is a great religion and should be understood well. learn it from people who believe in it and don;t listen to propaganda. Although Muslims believe in this final war (armagadon) and they believe it will bring them victory they're told not to look forward to it by prophet Mohammad PBUH because its a blood bath of unparallel scale.
To all those who has kind hearts and sound minds. To those who understand why we shouldn;t fight each other and shed blood. To those who understand that war is hell itself... I ask you please to stand up against those who knows not what war means, against those who benefit from war (weapon traders, oil and land and gold diggers...), and ready-to-suicide fundementalists from all religions.
I am a Palestinian from Palestine and I know that the vast majority of people wether jews, christians, or muslims want to live in peace, see their kids grow up and grandchildren, and they want to believe in whatever they believe is right.. i think that is their atmost dream. we all want this so lets not kill each other hopping we find life!!!!!
Zionists and christian-zionists broke a deal with venture capitalists so the first two get land and war they believe its given to them by "god" and the later group get money that they always worshiped.
The rest of humanity is the means in which they plan to get to their goals. There are only to options awaiting us:
1. We continue this exact path down to Armagadon and Muslims will win after thousands if not millions die and peace takes place finally.
2. We cut this short and create a one truely democratic state for the people who lived in Palestine and allow the refugees to return and the moderate Jews to stay in their homes which wasn;t built over demolished villages. we don;t want really to destroy tel aviv or Jerusalem or Nablus people can live there peacfully but Dair Yassin has to be returned to its people and so does many other so called settlements and new towns. Believe me thats the only true solution before a huge massacar takes place.
I hope to hear your opinion so send it directly to me and I will reply for sure no matter what your opinion is. Palestine is the Holly land and we all have the right to worship our God their in peace.

To the Palestinian people who were thrown from their lands, from a westerner to a beautiful people with tons of history, I apologize. Your ancestors have contributed much to our way of life whether we (America) knows it or not. I sympathize with you, but sympathy is not what your people need. Action must take place, and unfortunately, the people who run our country are also the same people who write the 1.2 billion dollar check to Israel every year. I fear the only way for life for your people to change, as Naveed plainly said, is for our empire and way of life to be radically changed.
Peace be with you at all times,
Edward Thompson

DEAR PALESTINIANS,
YOU COULD HAVE HAD YOUR OWN INDEPNDENT STATE IF YOU WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE PARTITION PLAN OF THE HISTORICAL LAND OF ISRAEL
TAKE RESPONSILBILITY FOR YOUR OWN DESTINY
|
|
The Struggle of Palesinian People for Freedom and Democracy is the only Way to Liberation of Palestine.The new Generation is the Motor of Revolution,the greatest palestinian Poet had said:´´My Land is not a Suitcase and I´m not a Traveller,I´m a Lover and the Land is a Darling.´´

Salaam excellent website
With Peace we come and peace we give but we have been stabbed by from behind.
Arabs had accepted the Jew in Palestine before the British allowed them to come History witness that Arab & Muslims were the only people who respected the Jew and protected them we all know what the European & Christians did to the Jew in Jerusalem, Germany and Spain. We all know that Jew did run to Turkey the Islamic Ottoman Empire for protection and that how they got into Palestine and started their wicked plan and twisted the fact they came as poor immigrants and they became the leaders the same happened in Germany and now in USA History repeats itself what happen in Germany could happen in USA. So our advise to the Jewish people ..do not let your politician destroy your future...look for peace with Arabs and Muslims and you will find it..respect the Palestinians right to exist and give them full rights...give them back their lands....give then an identity ...give them a country...Their will be no peace ...until you accept the rights of others and stop the atrocities committed by the Israeli Army...Israel can not be strong for ever...History teaches us a lesson. Empires rise and Empires fall......
Peace Be Upon You All
your brother in Islam

I just wanted to express my thanks and respect for your efforts. May we all live to see the day when Palestinians and Jews live as equals and brothers in the land that gave birth to both our peoples.

Dear friends,
this is a great job, indispensable for a people who wants to resist, persist, survive and especially recover its rights who were stollen by the Zionists and the conservation of the memories of the Nakhba, 60 years after, is a decisive job for this!
As a relative of Jews who perished in the Holocaust I understood that the only coherent lesson it to fight agaings Holocaust-like situations for every people! For 35 years I've been supporting the Palestinian cause, and in face of the facts of the last 10-15 years it is my firm opinion that no solution will came without allowing the full right of return to the refugees, and the building of one secular state for all, without racism, ethnical cleansing or discrimination.
Salaam,
Waldo Mermelstein

Salaam,
Interesting thoughts; I support your website, and think you are doing a good job, however i hope that we do not get hung up on history; we can not change it! we must look at the situation, and agree on what we want, a homeland for the palestinians, however not at any cost, peace must also be a priority. lets not just be angry and aggressive, let us be creative and find a solution with no genocide!
Peace-from Oxford

Salaam,
The solution is with US. Americans in our country as well joined hands with warlords and created a big headache in this part of the world...

Assallamualaikum-warohmatullah.
We all will have to continuely jihad against the yahuds & those cruel people in the world... Yes, till our deaths. BUT HOW? Our life is too short, as our Prophet Muhammad said, 'sitteen wa sab-een'. So let us prepare ourselves with true faith (iman, Allah is the only God, Muhammad is His Messenger) (Jesus is a Messenger) and true amal. If you are a Muslim, Let us do ALL the 5 mandatory daily solats, fast in Ramadon, give tithes and do haj when affordable.
PLS REMEMBER, after death, we WILL all live again!, Allah will reward us with jannah where water is flowing beneath. Allah says in the QURAN, we will live here forever & ever, and this is the GREATEST SUCCESS!
So never give up, pray to Allah. Even Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) was in peace in Namruud's fire.
InsyaAllah, hope taht we are accepted by Allah then.
Maasalaamah. TQ. JazakAllah.

Keep up the great work. This will help show everyone all around the world the hardship Palestinians endured and still do today. Long live Palestine!

I believe Its our duty to educate people about our case. We need to have them educated, we cannot blame nations, actually we have no right to blame anybody,,we have to work hard to prove our case and come out with results. I do appreciate the great efforts made by the creators/authors of this web site....
