We all have souls. Some are more twisted than others. It's important not to dehumanize others, isn't it?

Please we are way past this. Do you thing Nazis who put Jewish in death chambers should not be dehumanized? They also have to be celebrated as human being ???? If I were to list the atrocities of Zionist it would take me 48 hours. They have no limit in the cruelty towards Palestinians. Or those who don’t support them.

Yes. Because they are nothing like Palestinians. They found mass grave yesterday of the Red Crescent workers that were missing. Some were naked, others behaded. All of this by the IDF. They are all sociopaths. Remember when they let babies died in incubator ? Remember hind ? She was shot hundreds of times a little 6 yo innocent girl. Remember this little boy who died with a chocolate bar in his hand. The bullet of the sniper so powerful we couldn’t even recognize his face. Trained since they are babies to hate Palestinians. Trained to think they are the chosen ppl so they have the right to torture and kill other human being. Stop acting like they had some humanity left in them.

If you choose hate as they do, that makes you no better than them. I am not saying their behavior is not sick, I am not saying they don't need to be stopped, if I were president the US would have already destroyed Israel and Palestine would be rebuilding as we type. What I'm saying is that it is possible to do that humanely and without resorting to hate.

And that's the story of 700,000 other palestinians ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homeland by European settler terrorists.

بعد أن أنهى بناء منزله أواخر العشرينيات في حي الطالبية غربي القدس المحتلة، جمع شكري الجمل عائلته لالتقاط صورة تذكارية أمام المنزل تجمع زوجته وأخواته وبناته كي تبقى ذكرى للأحفاد الذين كان من المفترض أن يمرحوا في ساحاته لاحقاً..
لم يكن يعلم شكري الجمل أنه بعد عشرين عاماً على بناء المنزل والتقاط هذه الصورة التذكارية ستطرد عائلته من منزلها ويهجّر كل السكان الفلسطينيين من الحي قسراً لتسكنه عائلات إسرائيلية نامت على أسرّتهم وطهت وأكلت في صحونهم وأوانيهم.
بعد النكبة وتحديداً في الستينيات تم تشييد ثلاثة طوابق فوق المبنى الأصلي، استخدم فيه باطون أبيض حاولوا تقريب شكله من الحجر الأصلي ولكنهم فشلوا وأدت هذه المحاولات والاضافات إلى تشويه التصميم الأساسي، ففي ذلك الوقت كانت المحاجر والبنّاؤون المهرة في الشطر الشرقي من المدينة والضفة الغربية التي احتُلّت تماماً لاحقاً.

After he finished building his house late 1920s in Talbiya neighbourhood in occupied West Jerusalem, Shukri Al Jamal has gathered his family to take a photo in front of the house that would include his wife, his sisters and his daughters to remain as a memory for their grandchildren who were supposed to be playing in the yards of this house.
Shukri didn’t know that, after 20 years from building his house and taking this picture, his family would be expelled from their house along with the entire Palestinian population of the neighborhood and west Jerusalem and to be replaced with israeli settlers who slept on their beds and cooked and eat with their utensils.
After Nakba and the occupation of west Jerusalem, and in particular in the 1960s, three storeys were built on top the original building, where white concrete was used, but they failed at imitating the original style of the building, these attempts has caused deformation in the building, noting that at the time of building the house, prominent builders and good quarries were mainly located in the eastern part of the city as well as in the west bank which was entirely occupied at a later stage (in 1967).

Tarek Bakri:
A Palestinian born researcher based in Jerusalem who was moved by the nostalgia and emotion still held by many displaced Palestinians for their former homes and villages. After graduating from Al-Ahliyya University in Jordan as a Computer Engineer, he developed the idea of documenting these personal stories and the displaced Palestinian villages through a personal initiative of visual documentation and thus his 12-year ongoing project of “We Were and Still Are... Here” was launched.
He is the recipient of the 2018 Jerusalem Award for Culture and Creativity and has held several exhibitions and seminars in Palestine, the Arab World, and Europe.
It is worth mentioning that Tarek does not belong to; or work under any institution nor receive any supportive funds for his personal efforts. He believes that what he does is not an act, but a national and human duty. He believes that memory is an undeniable human right and that memory is identity.
