there is a famous saying in our culture says that the person who learns me a word,im ready to be a slave for him!!!surely,im not going to be a slave for anyone ,but sometimes we feel we are deeated and speachless as a result of prisoned willig!
MANSOUR THABET/ABU GHASSAN,is the teacher of too many people who passed through the different jails of Israel..he spent 20 years in these jails and finally ,he was released with greater willing and challengable saul...my short experience is so small with reference to his..butduring those months we were together,he was enough strong and cultured to feed us with his rich and special experience!Generations of palestinians were arrested and released while he was spending his unfair,aggressive judgment of the military israel court...he always said:im used to welcome and goodbying prisoners!
After freedom ,he continued his suffering journey ,but through social work in this stage...
he established some social and developmental associations and worked hard to help children in camps .now he is the president of afaq jadeeda for children,women and development...he spends too many hours drawing smiles on the faces of camps children...
now...in these gloomy days,he is lying on his cold bed ,suffering from cancer of colon...the bad medical conditions in the gaza strip dont succeed in helping him...too many children from camps unrwa schools visit him..they cry and pray for him..as usual ,abu ghassan hugs and begins to relax! this scene seems to everyone that the children are the patient and he is the doctor who treats them!
Israel is completing the role of cancer in the killing of abu ghassan:they refused to allow him to enter israel to have the chemical treatment,for security reasons!!!!!!!!securiti...security...security...the holy cow of israe!
How many children have been killed as a result of this holy cow?
how can an aged human who is suffering from cancer threat the security of israel??
isnt it a kind of black revenge?
finally,i want to say that Abu Ghassan story is not unique here in the gaza strip...it happens everyday,but every moment under the suspecious silent of this immoral world!
I believe that a man like abu ghassan will not die..the seeds of freedom,justic and peace which was grown inside us by him will grow and grow...these will be the trees of the future!
Even the cancer and israel could defeat his body ,all our children will hug his saul and sing the rhyme of their shining future!!!!

It is great to read this blog , specialy that it comes from the middle of the camp , with its two faced coin , suffering of refugees and the hope and detrmination , for better future for palestinian people , the auther of this blog is the vice prisedent of new horizons organisation , where they work genuinly , to keep the palestinian culture and heritage and help the chidren to be happy, supple entrtained and educated , despite of the most difficult circumstances , where occupation doesnot give any space for normal life
. Talal and others try hard to create this place , keep it running ,and resist the immoral occupation by the continuity of living and coping with such circumstances
Pleased to read your blog and cogratulations and welcome abroad

Hi Talal,
MOST WELCOME TO THE BLOGSPHERE!!
I heard about your blog from Mona who's a dear friend!
Your eyewitness-accounts are MOST important ... we work HARD to get out the truth about this horrid occupation as well as the tremendous suffering of the Palestinian people!
The fact that you are writing from a refugee camp means a WHOLE LOT as you can tell the stories you SAW or EXPERIENCED ... GO FOR IT and keep up the GREAT work!
If you don't mind I will cross-post your post on MY blog so that many more people will see and get to know you! I also added you and your blog to my sidebar!
Again .. ALF MABROUK to your new blog and WELCOME ABOARD!! :-)
Welcome, It is good to be able to get another look at what is going on in Palestine. I heard about your blog from Karin who is a great friend of mine.
I wish you well and will be reading what you have to say. With your permission I would like to post some of your posts from time to time on my blog. It is important to me to see that those of us living in the U.S. get the truth instead of what the media here wants us to hear. Mostly half-truths and lies.
I will also add you to my sidebar.
