Jews & The “Promised” Land
What Jews fail to understand is that Arabs don’t deny the fact that Jews suffered and were discriminated against, we don’t claim they’re making up the terrible Holocaust, and we certainly don’t feel pleased or happy that they had to go through what they went through, we just want them to know that Arabs had absolutely no hand in their past suffering, and Arabs (both Muslims and Christians) were living in peace and harmony with them (Jews) across the Arab region… Palestine with its famous mosques, churches and synagogues were the manifestation of this coexistence and tolerance.
What Arabs want Jews to understand is that there are Arab Jews as well. What Jews need to comprehend is that Muslim and Christian Arabs have nothing against their religion, what we’re against is the worldwide approval of choosing a country that already has its people -who are Muslim, Christian and Jews- and claiming those people have no right to be there, and that this is the promised land: “Israel”, everyone who’s not Jewish should be kicked out, and all Jews around the world have to leave their roots and lives from around the world to gather in that spot to create this “Israel”.
Jews wre already welcome in Palestine, practicing their normal rights as civilians, practicing their religion without any fear. Why, why, WHY should Palestinians pay for someone else’s mistakes? why should they take responsibility for the Holocaust when they had nothing to do with it? why were they kicked out for Jews to be happy?? Why does it have to be called Israel, and be limited to only Jews? why disturb a peaceful land and destroy everything beautiful it stands for?
Palestine is the land of tolerance, coexistence and peace. It’s Arab, it’s for Arabs of all religions to enjoy and lead peaceful safe lives. This is what the world needs to know, this is what Palestine is all about. Arabs respect all religions, including Judaism, but Arabs will never ever respect nor support Zionism.

يشير إحسان نصر، مدير وصاحب فكرة مشروع صنع بأيدينا، إلى أهمية المشروع كوسيلة للتخفيف من أزمة البطالة التي يعانيها الشباب الفلسطيني وخصوصا الاناث، حيث ترتفع نسب البطالة بمعدل الضعف عن الذكور مما يؤخر عملية التنمية في فلسطين، ويقول:”يهدف المشروع أيضا إلى إعادة الاعتبار للتراث الفلسطيني والحفاظ على الموروث والمخزون الثقافي والتراثي ولا سيما الصناعات اليدوية والتقليدية التي تعتبر ركيزة هامة من ركائز التراث والثقافة الفلسطينية والتي تعاني هذه الايام من محاولة الطمس والسلب والسيطرة من قبل الاحتلال ومؤسساته “، وفي هذا السياق تحدثت منسقة المشروع على مستوى الوطن العربي ومديرة برنامج “شباب من أجل التغيير”، السيدة تالا النابلسي، عن دور المشروع في خلق قيادات مجتمعية تسهم في تنمية إحداث التغيير والبناء والتنمية.
