the jews attacking people around to live eve and jeff and yet they would soon come to our and yeah i cannot protect you so you better go home now quite a bit my home is about forty to sixty kilometers depending on how you do it and the road to my home was cut off frequently by  soldiers who were riding in jeeps and the jeeps i remember clearly had to machine guns one pointing forward and the other one pointing backward and so they would go to fix pete in the roads and in the fields and they shoot anybody in sight so i have a cousin who was older than me about twenty years of age at the time and he said let us walk back home and until that you hear the sound of the jeep going away so we did that and on the way i had to throw away my bag you know my clothes and my books and we had to walk about forty kilometers to fire it as a child that one moment we see the jeep and he would they would kill us when i had lived home  mother was was so so sad and i i think i remember i had to sleep for about two days after this ordeal now only six weeks later  precisely on the fourteenth the night the fourteenth and fifteenth of may our home was attacked again by about twenty four tanks which came  which destroyed my life ever since until today what did we do to them i never saw a jew in my life i never saw of course as out of sorts of my life and i had to construct even not only who they were but the names of the officers who destroyed my life i got pictures of them i got maps of how they made this operation and through a friend of mine what they call political committees who was you know in dictating the soldiers and also the intelligence officer and they told him yes we know the name upset the great well we have feared that name of giving palestinians their natural majority free democratic government at the same time because of colonial intentions they have given above fo been laws which are discriminatory to the palestinians they apply taxes on them to force them to sell the land but even in the end they could not do more than five point five percent of palestine they were able to bring in do a jewish immigrants to palestine so that the jewish population rose from nine percent of the beginning of the mandate to thirty percent at the end of the mandate and this population was highly militaristic they selected young men  had only home guards of about twenty or thirty in each village a total of which does not exceed two thousand five hundred so it was a foregone conclusion who was going to win and that is of moment all the countries which had a good night israel defacto in fact could nice it only thirteen percent later of course the israelis were able to conquer seventy eight depleted only ninety nine at main this systematic expulsion was a deliberate one although there are sometimes arguments whether this is and documents or not clear that is of no relevance because what you should see is what actually happened the system was like this they the baby's heads and so on were much larger than that and in the north and believe that has been tremendous number of massacres and they used to say if you don't leave open was pointing to lebanon in the north so that people go to lebanon and syria and pointing to the east and the center part of palestine to go to jordan and the south the open side was to the south so that they could go to gaza the people who were depleted it presented eighty five percent of the palestinians who lived  only fifteen percent remained and we know what happened to them they are now about a million and they live even now and second class status by speaking the armistice line has no value in that it doesn't confirm or deny rights to anybody it simply is the temporary line at which forces stopped on that day with time this line became like an international border but international law it is not a border it's only a temporary line of the sation of hostilities now this sounds simple when you say it but in fact one hundred and eleven villages have been disseminated by this line most of them out of the west bank and others about five or seven in gaza here you see people coming officers from the united nations accompanied by israeli officers and some officers with a walking through cutting through the land of a village and the weather or the water supply they have falls on the wrong side or the fields are on the wrong side or  sometimes in villages the line goes through the middle of the village and people of the village would be crying screaming shouting and say how come you decide meet our land how  y be outside of our reach many people in the world who believe in justice say that the palestinians like  anybody else have the right to return home because there is nothing more basic than that i to live in your home the sanctity of private ownership is something sacred the the english called my home is my castle because that is where where one finds security not only that for palestinians not only security but it's the patrimony of the that history i mean goes it goes back not only do it in islam which is fourteen hundred years ago not only during christianity which is two thousand years ago but even up to five thousand years ago there is evidence strong evidence that the palestinians never left by this time and mass the the only time in the last five thousand years in which they have been  and fifty percent top of them live within forty kilometers i mean bus right and of course in israel itself and in the west bank many people see actually see their homes and they are not allowed to return to their homes this anomaly this grave injustice could not possibly continue even though it is now headed by the part of the gun and part of f sixteen and the trail of blood and destruction which is happening in palestine and have been happening for fifty eight years if the palestinians are not strong  in the right to return home they would not have withstood fifty eight years of wars and destruction and brutal oppression nobody in my knowledge into the best of my estimate nobody could stand that onslaught for fifty eight years civilian people unarmed people do not have arms to their homes why because it's part of the making of the human being that you have an identity and you have this identity is tied to your patrimony  people in palestine know that their parents and grandparents are better than the same spot people belong to that place even know even now i have seen examples of young people very famous among palestinians which has been affirmed by the united nations many times over one hundred times says that the palestinians have the right to attend their homes and in addition they compensate for it this is the simple fact when you would know when you are driving and you hit somebody and somebody is caught you have to pay for it so in international law and with the experience of c and iraq the machine eighty four carrying out the compensation is now well established by the united nations what does that mean it means that you have a personal compensation for the material losses that is to say they they have used your fields and your land for fifty eight years they must given you they must give you the compensation now people say if somebody doesn't want to return now if they don't want to return which by all accounts will be a minimum number of people then their property policy saying that we cannot allow that if you g s back because they are going to be a fifth column at the same time they brought in jewels firstly from arab countries who is a fallacy in this in many ways first of all the compensation is a right for the palestinians after their it ten when they return everyone would calculate how much damage and loss he suffered and then composition can be paid palestinians are absolutely united in never accepted compensation as the price of their homes and property in six hundred seventy five thousand villages it will take over all the public i mean it is in the country and us someone else to pay for this and on the condition that it will be in the end the legal owner for the property paid for by others and they want to make that a condition such that there would be no
