Salam,

Definitely I had no doubt, you are not questioning the honesty of this story, Nadia or me. Relax!

It�s good that we heard the answer from Nadia herself, and I still wish she does the same her to clear any doubts of other readers here.

Haitham..you know that I did not mean to question your or nadia’s honesty..don’t you?it’s just that I would never have expected her to write in her mastered language then have it professionally translated once ,and write in her not-so-perfect language the other time ,and still sound to me like the same person..it’s just a legitimate curisoity..don’t you think?respect to both of you!

I have visited several blogs that were “occupied by Zionist people” and I was treated like crap. Lie and insult. Repeat and repeat again. Keep repeating until it becomes the truth.
Why is this the only way that they can purvey their truth.
Did they learn from Bush or did they teach Bush?
Living in Canada I get the news that is “censored” and I am now learning that news from Germany and England is more truthful than ours.
Better yet. Your site has been proven to be more truthful than any North American site.

Salam,

This is a true story and she will contact you by email (if she didn’t yet) soon. I just got an email from her today apologizing for late reply after I forwarded your email to her.

I’m not revealing a secret now, but she decided not to be called with pseudonym anymore. Her name is Nadia Hasan and she is from Chile. She has a blog called ‘Palestina Resiste’, which you can follow up (if you know Spanish), here: http://palestinaresiste2.blogspot.com/

Don�t be surprised about her language, she surprise me too from time to time, especially that I know that her blog is translation of news and good-to-read articles, from English to Spanish.

Samia,
We are all Palestine.
The vine, the root, the rubble,
the stones turned and unturned
the mountain and the valley
the walnut and the fig
in Jordan
Syria
Lebanon
Egypt
Gaza and Nablus
Jerusalem and Jaffa
Amman and Ramallah
when we are sent away
to any of the seven continents
a piece of Palestine
a pebble in the hand
