It was 1982. Italy was celebrating its victory at the World Cup, when TV passed the images of hundres of dead bodies in Sabra and Shatila camps, Lebanon. I thought they were broken dolls. They were Palestinian refugees. 35 years later I decided to write a book about them. @PRIL

Thinking of a Comprehensive Protection and Solution Framework for Palestinain refugees does not mean to naively ignore the 'political process', but rather rethinking it so as to put these ever-excluded refugees (as well as Palestinians in the diaspora) at the center of the debate

Correct @Peter . Not only did Oslo further fragmented Palestinian land&people, polverizing (attempting to) their resistance/identity, but also worked to bury, once&for all, the Palestinain refugee Question. Yet, there is no peaceful future to be walked into without the refugees.

Indiscriminately shooting rockets or dropping bombs and killing civilians is a WAR CRIME (no self-defense can be invoked). But why the world stands in solidarity with Israel and runs to leak 'its wounds', while not recognizing the pain, the suffering of the oppresed Palestinians?

You wonder why Palestinians in Palestine/Israel are protesting? Ask yourself whether YOU could stand daily humiliation, expropriation, assault, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, without access to ANY justice, after your grandparents and parents had to endure the same.

Ciò che accade in Palestina/Israele soprende solo chi finora ha preferito guardare altrove. Sostengo #nomorenakbas perché la Nakba non é realtà del passato. E' ciò che i Palestinesi vivono dal 1947, e cessera'solo con la fine della discriminazione di Israele verso i Palestinesi

I say #NoMoreNakbas because the Nakba (Palestinian displacement from their homes in British Mandate Palestine when Israel was created IN Palestine) that started in 1947/8, never ended. If people don't know what 'Nakba' MEANS, this is the opportunity to educate themselves.

@Rossavoid @RafeefZiadah Precisely. This is the 'Israelization' and 'Palestinianization' of the world, with main powers determining rights&wrongs and the rest is mad eof mere 'subjects'. Protecting Israel in its current form and condoning its impunity creates an alibi for further undemocracti practices.
