This is me. A girl named Mona who was a Palestenian refugee who has immigrated to Canada.
Why did I move to Canada?
Long time ago, 60 years today, my family’s home was taken away.
Did I have to come here?
Yes. I had no where else left to go.
Why did this have to happen to me?
I am not the only one. There are thousands of us who were born refugees and traveled the world to find a home.
What do I represent?
I represent my self, a Palestenian with hot blood through my veins and a voice to speak about my existence. I am Palestenian. I will always be one. I was born as one, and will die as one.
It has been 60 years since my home was taken away, isn’t that too much?
I may be one person. I am not a celebrity or someone who is famous and well known. However, I have the right to speak out when I say, “we had enough!”
Please watch all the videos to understand who we are and what happened to us.

We still remember.

Can’t really say I can relate completely, but I understand. And the children that live [and die] because of this… what will they think like? Will they feel hatred towards one group of people, the one’s oppressing them - or will they hate all? Will they be able to survive one more missle? Will they ever have an enjoyable life?
It’s sickening how barbaric people STILL are. You’d think we’d have matured since the whole “plunder and rape” ages… but no, nothing has changed.
The third video had very good production, and the music was great. I’ve always loved how Eastern music used rhythm, wind, and stringed instruments.

Thank you. I get very confused with what happened here as I have seen so many things about it that conflict.
the first video upset me alot… It really speaks more words when you hear it from a childs mouth.

Look, you live in Canada now. Your life is better in Canada that it ever would have been in Palestine, regardless of whether Israel existed or not. I really don’t understand the attraction to this place. There’s no oil there! It’s very dry and not very good for agriculture. Ok, it’s got all these historic places filled with religious meaning for Palestinians, Jews and Christians. These groups all think they have divine right to this territory. Yet, other than that, how is that better than Canada? Your standard of living is higher, better schools, healthcare, a government that is more open, provides equal protection for women, minorities, etc.
Yes, you can cling to your family tradition and how everyone was treated so badly. Or you can look ahead to the future and count your blessings. You will serve your people much better by focusing on the former, not the later. The Jews are never leaving.

And the Arab Muslims are never leaving either.

Look, you need to set both Zionism and Jihad aside. That’s for them, not for us. Join the rest of the world, who realizes that this planet is too small for this nonsense. Yes, the Arabs are never leaving the Middle East. Yes, the Jews are never leaving Israel. I made no suggestion of either. . .and your response strongly suggests there’s still a ball-and-chain. That’s social incarceration. Gee, everybody used to get along pretty well, hundreds of years ago. The Moorish Caliphate had a Jew as his Finance Minister. Look at all the people who have died. . .who suffer, and will continue to suffer. If we agree that this ought to stop, what do you suggest to make it stop?

I strongly suggest you research opportunities to work overseas in a developing country where there are no Arabs nor Westerners, where (for example) people need your help to provide care to babies born with AIDS. Maybe if the human race is lucky, one or more of your co-volunteers will be Israeli. Then, if they’ve been tainted at all by Zionism, you can work alongside them and, in time, they will learn that God/Allah doesn’t choose people like you and me. People like us choose our God to help must model behaviors of compassion, selflessness, humility, and gratitude.
