It was May the 31st and Ibraheem and I were practicing the haqq al-‘awda, the expressions Palestinians all over the world refer to as the right of return. Return to a village called Saffouri, that during the 1947-1949 war was destroyed and depopulated by Israel. Its protagnists are the internal displaced people, also known as present-absentees, Palestinian citizens of the Jewish state unable to go back to the houses of their ancestors. Still, they are claiming their right to walk on that soil. Return – is this.
