This is a time of great sorrow and a time to remember, it also reminds me of something I said to a young woman yesterday, that all people in Palestine, whether they are Jewish or Arab Palestinian deserve to live in peace and be free. That sorrows like the remembrance of this day, would one day be only in the history books and one day no longer be current events.
All people deserve to be free, have their dignity and not have to suffer because they are different then those that have caused the Semitic people harm.
It seems while I may be a little slower then usual today, because of not only thinking what happened to the six million Jews that perished in the holocaust, but a 108 year war that should have never been and all those martyrs that also perished in this violence.
There is probably not one family because of these two atrocities that have not lost family members, so this is not just a day of silence and remembrance, but also one of great tears.
For instance, my family did not just loose members because of the war, many also perished along with the Jewish people in the holocaust. So in this turn, I actually do along with the majority of Palestinians, feel the great sorrow the Jewish people, I am sure is feeling.
In the past, when the war was raging, the previous Queens of Palestine, where no longer called, “Mother,” this titled was usually bestowed for centuries because of honest love for all that lived in Palestine. One thing that tugs at my heart these days, is that title for a Queen, has now returned. The previous Queens, it was not because they where bad people, but so vastly misunderstood.
Furthermore, I do have to admit, far too many times, I have wished to put out my arms around everyone in Palestine no matter who they are and make them not only safe and warm, but happy.

It a great hope of mine, that all these wounds one day will heal and we can wipe each other’s tears, so in time they would be no more.
