Dearest friend
Greetings from the holiest place in this part of the world……
Greetings from the mouths of the children of Palestine…..
Greetings from the most tensest place in the world……..
I would like to thank you from the heart of the heart of all the children of Hebron and Palestine and from the friends and staff of the Palestine Child’s Arts Centre..
We are still alive, physically, Although we are under curfew, siege, bloodshed, difficult economic situation …But our children are still drawing…..They are drawing the image of the sun…but with red colour…. They still draw the unknown future …but with black colur ,and the nightmare of Muhammad Durrah is still accompanying them in their beds.
They still play….but with bullet covers and the remains of the bombing of their houses..
They no longer climb the olive trees because the Israeli bulldozers have uprooted them….
They still smile….but with fear……they smile because they see life from a humanitarian point of view. They are still kids and do not understand the brutality of life.They ask me once, with innocent faces,Why did they kill Muhammad Durra??My lips were unable to utter any letter!!!
They still believe that they are the children of the world…. Their problems are that they are Palestinians…. But they do not understand the ethnic differences,they do not understand the religious fundamentalism…. They do not understand the meaning of occupation. They want to feel free to feel “ the child of the world”
It is still early for them to suffer from the brutality of occupation and of the other “ human beings”
They still believe in the “Dream”, the dream to see their fathers strong and not beaten by others…. They can not accept the reality…. They want a symbol…… they want to bethe children of the world.
Have they lost hope in peace .Do they know anything rather than peace. How can we ,the adults explain to them…?????? why are they killing their friends and schoolmates?
It is the DREAM….. it is the DREAM……. That will come to reality.
