Afrasianet - Dr. Zakaria Shahin - Thyme seedlings and tank tracks
A reading in the realities of the Arab-Zionist conflict.
The facts, our blood that flows, our children are the ones who are being displaced, and our nation, which is becoming more and more torn and weak.
The struggle that has been forced upon us has transcended the circumstances of the place, and we have to find our way carefully.
Because the most dangerous thing in the attitude of some... not realizing that those who try to write our history... in their way, are giving way to our exile and marginalization ...!
