Lately and especially because of what is happening
in Gazza , I read many people reminding us that :
" Gazza is Palestine"
as if we would like to separate Gazza from Palestine.
May I tell you , what I personally think and feel
for Gazza which is part of Palestine ,
and is not Palestine, of course.
To start , allow me to differentiate ,
because there are :
1-Palestine in Exile
2-Palestine the Occupied
and
3- Palestine the Stolen. (so called Israel)
What makes Gazza so special was the fact
that until a week ago Gazza was the only part
of Palestine which was liberated ( although besieged )
So ,when people like me, we praised and defended Gazza
it was the symbol to the things to come , namely,
the liberation of the whole of Palestine ,
liberated from Zionism and from the corruption of Fatah .
This made Gazza so special and so idyllic
in my eyes and probably for others too.
Of course Gazza is Palestine ,
and Baghdad and Beirut are also Palestine ,too.
Cairo is Palestine too , but occupied by Mubarak's mafia clan
Amman is Palestine under the boots of a non-Jordanian-King
and .....the list is long.....
But Gazza is different , Gazza was free
until a week ago......and that is the difference.
...how many places or cities or provinces or countries are free ,
today in the Arab World ??

a Gazzean because I am an Arab.
