Nasser Nawajha takes his six-year old son Laith back to Nasser’s native village of Susya, in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank. Nasser’s family, along with all the other families of Susya, were expelled from their village in 1986, when Israel turned it into an archaeological park. The villagers are, yet again, facing imminent expulsion from their homes and caves.
On May 16, Palestinians from South Hebron Hills and from different popular Struggle Committee of all West Bank, Israeli an international activists, gathered in Susiya village (that is suffering for the imminent eviction’s threat) in order to demonstrate their solidarity with the villagers.
The demonstration was also to remember the Nakba of 1948, when an estimated 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their own land and hundreds of Palestinians town and villages were destroyed.
Il 16 maggio i palestinesi delle Colline a Sud di Hebron e di vari Comitati di Resistenza Popolare da tutta la Cisgiordania, assieme ad attivisti israeliani e internazionali, si sono radunati a Susiya (che è sotto minaccia di demolizione) per manifestare la loro solidarietà verso gli abitanti di questo villaggio.
La manifestazione è stata fatta anche in ricorrenza del memoriale della Nakba del 1948, quando circa 700,000 Palestinesi furono espulsi dalla propria terra e molte delle loro città e villaggi distrutti.
