Thanks for posting this. More Catholics need to know the truth of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the many lives it destroyed and continues to destroy, God Bless.

Right wing bigots always say "damn immigrants, coming over here, stealing our country."

The only time in history where they were ACTUALLY correct, was in Palestine. They came over from Europe, and stole their country, that was the plan.

@ShaggyAce

how is it biased? israeli occupation of palestine and even the violence is fact.

the legality of it all is disuputed. Jew refugees from WW2 settled in palestine to create other refugees; muslims.

In the voices of the elderly women I hear what I have heard from my own Grandmother with her experiences fleeing Lithuania from the Russians. The politics and propaganda tries to silence the stories of the refugees. The terrible hardships and loss they endured. I haven't forgotten the stories. No children of refugees do. Someday in peaceful ways there will be an answering for it all, and those who build their nations on Shame will pay all that they have to clear their conscience.
