fetal- “My mother forgot her baby girl in a cave on the road between Jenin and Tulkarm after she was displaced from the village of Al -Mansi in the Haifa district in 1948,” with this difficult incident, the end of the 53 -year -old soldier started her talk about her family’s memories with the Nakba.

The soldier’s family was displaced from its village to the Janzour area in Jenin, cut the road on foot and there he stayed for a few months until the winter came and was cruel, he carried the snow with him and people were forced to displace again, so the family went out to Tulkarm and spent days in the open, and on the way I resorted to a cave, and when she completed her way, the mother had forgotten her baby.

She only remembered her when she arrived in Nour Shams camp in Tulkarm, where the refugee station coming from Janzour was. A whole day passed before people find the baby and carry her to her mother.

“The ants were covering her little body, my mother says and she was not alone, as many people left behind money, golden formula and other precious things, the road is very long and people cut him walking,” as the soldier says to Al -Jazeera Net.

The people of the camps in the northern West Bank remember the events of the Nakba, and feels those who lived in them or heard about their details that the scenes are repeated after 77 years. They see that repetition included the term accurately, but it differed from it in 48 in terms of pain, oppression and cruelty of the circumstance.

“Yes, what happened now in the camps is a new catastrophe, but it is more severe. Despite the difficulty of the displacement and killing previously, what we live today in the camp is a new pattern of the occupation that was not applied, neither in 48 nor in all stages of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, because it is based on the displacement of people and the demolition of complete buildings and buildings and then not allowing them to build again.”

End of her house in Nour Shams camp was displaced on the third day of the Israeli military operation in it, after besieging her inside with her 14 -year -old daughter for 72 hours, while her mother (100 years) was displaced from her home on the main street of the camp to the home of her daughters in a mountainous area. After informing the occupation army of the need to evacuate the house, she was displaced with the help of an ambulance to the book of Ihsaba in the city of Tulkarm, and she says that her mother always hesitated, “I am a person who was written for him to displacement throughout his life.”

The occupation displaced 13,000 people from Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm, who were originally refugees, Israel had expelled them from their villages and cities in Haifa, Jaffa, Acre and others. The people believe that the occupation plan is to return the camps to their condition in 1948 by changing their features and demolishing homes to create empty spaces in their depth.

The soldier adds that “Nour Shams is built in a way that prevented the occupation forces from entering his lanes and neighborhoods, which is what Israel does not want. It is noteworthy that the maps that were distributed by the occupation army to the homes that will be demolished in the camp are similar to those with the UNRWA (UNRWA) in the early years of its construction, and that means that Israel wants to return it to its first state in 1953”.

Anonymous future

In “Harash Al -Saada” near the town of Barqin, to which Jamil Salama was displaced from Jenin camp, his father’s talk about their displacement from Umm Al -Zayat village in Haifa district after the “Zionist gangs” attack and the killing of his uncle Qasim Salama, and he says that what his father narrated is very similar to what is happening today in Jenin, but the scene today is more difficult because the lives of people stopped and their future is unknown.

Salama believes that returning to the camp has become a dream, and that the life of the camp has become a memory of all its details. He says, “The whole world is continuing its life and the people of the camps ended their lives, even if the army withdrew from it, how will it be rebuilt? Our lives have changed and we live in very harsh conditions, there is no safety or housing with very bad economic conditions.”

The people of the camp consider that some concepts may be affected after the occupation demolished the camps, as the concept of return has become linked to the exit of the occupation from them and the return of the displaced to it, and the concept of the refugee was replaced by joking, and new generations will grow up on the idea of ​​displacement inside the bank and not from the lands of 48.

According to Abd al -Rahman al -Zubaidi, what they live today is the Nakba itself, and it is the largest and harshest calamities that passed through the Palestinian people. And he talks to Al -Jazeera Net about the people’s people’s feeling 4 months after their displacement, displacement and dispersion in the towns and villages of Jenin.

He said, “I am 51 years old, I heard a lot about what happened in and after the year 48, and I read a lot about our Palestinian struggle with the occupation, all I see today is happening in the Jenin camp that gives me and a flash in my mind when I heard about it, and directly turns into black images embodied in front of me on the ground and I and the family that resorted from Caesarea to Jenin. Sadness.

New calamity

Al -Zubaidi continues, “Yes, the Nakba returned with all its details. We lived all that my father told me about, and this confirms that every detail that our people and our grandparents went through was true and real. The idea is that we lived this stage, and our children who will mention it for 50 years later.”

According to him, and all the people of the camp believe that the house is a small homeland and everyone is related to it, and “but the occupation demolished this country.” He says, “The most difficult types of oppression and injustice is the practice of displacement against any person, no one has the right to expel anyone from his land and home, we created in our lands in 48, and we will return to it even even after many years.”

Al -Zubaidi was displaced from his home since the beginning of the Israeli military operation in the camp, and he lived in the town of Al -Zababdeh at first and then moved to the Wadi Burqin area, but he could not get away from his house and was waiting daily for the sun to rise to go to the nearest area overlooking it and spending a long time while watching him, as he confirms.

The people of Jenin camp consider it a waiting station until returning to Nazareth, Qisariya, Jaffa, Al -Munsi and Zarain, which is the closest point for these areas, and from it they could look at it. Today, the camp has become a closed Israeli military zone that is prohibited or approached, and has become a dream for all refugees to return to it and rebuild it again.

Al -Zubaidi explains that “the refugees of the camp inhabited a Janzour near the town of Qabatiya in 1948, but a Janzour does not overlook their villages from which they were abandoned, so they built their tents in Jenin camp and became their waiting station until the return. To her.

“All our lives are waiting, as long as the occupation continues, we are waiting for return, not only for the home and the land, but for the natural life that we were deprived of as the rest of the people of the world.”
