The subjec of palestine is a very sensetive and emotional one to misslions of people. This anthem was written in the thirties, even before the State of Israel was created.

This anthem was written in the thirties, even before the State of Israel was created. It was written when Palestine was under the British occupation, where people have suffered a lot…

It sounds like a call to arms and violence. You know that I am no fan of Israeli policies toward Palestinians, but how can these words help to promote a peaceful and cooperative future? My friend Baghdad Treasure also posted about the Nakba: http://baghdadtreasure.blogspot.com/2008/05/in-memory-of-nakba-in-palestine.html I didn't know the meaning of the word, so I looked it up and did some reading here: http://www.nakba-archive.org/index.htm This is an interesting site dedicated to preserving memories and photographs of Palestinians with regard to the events of 1948. I didn't know that the number of Palestinians forced from their homes was 750,000. It was a human catastrophe and I wish it had not happened. The creation of the State of Israel has caused a lot of human misery in the last 60 years. But, history can't be undone. I just hope that there can be found a just and equitable solution that both Israelis and Palestinians can live with. Mariam, I am somewhat troubled by this Anthem.
