Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents. It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.

October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba. Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it. For Israel this is no big crime. They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket. That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices. Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum, said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel. But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming. Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.

Tower of Ramleh (Palestine)

« on: January 20, 2014, 05:10:28 pm »

A gorgeous piece of history, now under Israeli occupation. "Ramleh" signifies 'sand' and is a name of Arabic origin. Ramleh is a very historic Arab city near Jerusalem. It was founded between 705 and 715 AD by the Ommayad Caliph, Suleman Abdel Malik. Though allotted to the Arabs in 1947, it was snatched away by the Jews in the 1948 Arab-Jewish war. Almost all of its Arab residents were expelled in 1948 and subsequently repopulated by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Europe. Ramleh is now completely under Israeli control.

The Tower of Ramleh, about 120 feet high, is the most spectacular landmark of this breathtaking ancient town. The Tower known by several names - White Mosque, White Tower and Tomb of the Forty Companions - is located on higher ground in the suburbs of the town of Ramleh. It began being built by one of the Egyptian Caliphs in 1310 and was completed within eight years.

The architecture of Ramleh Tower is Saracenic, beautifully and delicately constructed, and supported by narrow buttresses. A winding staircase lighted by uniquely shaped pointed windows leads to the top of the Tower and opens in a stone gallery.

The gallery gives a beautiful view of orchards and olive groves, much of which have been demolished by Zionist authorities for purposes of colonization. On the north and south of the Tower are endless plains with changing colors along with the different seasons; with hills and mountains thronging the eastern and western parts, the Tower presents a picturesque scenery with a typical mesmerizing medieval touch.

The tower now stands alone. But it was attached to a mosque in the past known as the White Mosque constructed by the Ommayads in the 8th century. According to traditions, forty companions of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) are buried in this Mosque.

So beautiful. And the historical beauty of a place turns so melancholy when the freedom of that community is replaced by slavery through foreign invaders Sad
