I see this blog of yours has been published in 2010 and feel moved to read your entry about Hebron.
I was there long long time ago, at a time when it was still possible to move around the West Bank and Gaza
in relative freedom with no road blocks on the way. I remember being invited by a family to stay overnight in their house which was just a stone through from the ibrahimi mosque and the old quarter and the market were buzzing with the palestinian inhabitants and the only settlement was that of Kiriat Arba.
Still remember that Palestinian family full of children and young women. I would wish so much to know what happened to them. I remember one of the smaller kid dancing an improvised belly dance for me! so sweet and so tiny. I wonder where they all are now. It was in 1986. It is so painful to read that Hebron (Al Khalil) as I knew it has disappeared. But the world at least now is turning to a new chapter where Palestine will possibly soon reaquire at least part of its old land, lets see where events in the Middle East
will lead. Hopefully to independence for Palestine.
