Palestine is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is the place where Judaism, Christianity and Islam were born and people lived fine on this land in the 1800s when it was ruled by the Ottoman Empire.
At that time Zionism started to appear and aspire Jews.
After World War One, Palestine was colonized by the United Kingdom but still the name of the land was Palestine.
However, a promise for a zionist state was made and more and more Jews arrived seeking refuge. Unfortunately, their plan to steal the land was clear at that time.
It has been years since the 1948 Palestine occupation with the same heart-breaking scenes everyday of Palestinians killed at the hands of the Israeli forces.
Thousands of Palestinians fled their homes to survive, they had no right to return, no right to fight and no right to live safely although the land was still and will always be called PALESTINE.
