@kamalchassan1 I have been listening to Darwish again--my father was an Orthodox Jew until 1945 when he witnessed the massacre at Setif and then in 1948 we heard --or they did I was very little about Deir Yassin me my mother and my father were "exiled" by the rest of our family.

I am scared now about anti-Arab racism in the US former President Jimmy Carter has been pretty good and spoken against and for Palestine but no one listens to him.

My name is Kamal Hassan.

I am Palestinian, I was born Palestinian, I'll always be Palestinian, I live as Palestinian and I'll die Palestinian.

For Israel, you'll not deny me, I'm here to stay to live as equal strong and free in Peace...
