Can anyone explain in words what it is about Palestine that gets into our hearts and wont let go? I left Palestine 9 years ago but it feels like yesterday and I long to go back, more than anything I have ever felt in my life. Palestine is there, in me, every moment of my life. To be honest, it was there before I moved to palestine, after my first visit of 3 weeks in the year 2000. I know this isnt normal but I also know that I am not the only one. In fact, everyone I know who has ever been to Palestine feels exactly the same way. Why is it that way? I try to explain to those who havent been there and I feel like a love-struck 12 year old when I try to explain it to them. Nothing I can think of today makes any sense. It isnt the suffering of Palestinians. I dont feel the same for other suffering nationalities. I feel sympathy but I dont feel that I am one if them in those other countries. I feel I belong in Palestine. I have no Arab blood. I am not Muslim. But Palestine IS in my blood regardless. There was a peace on me when I was there even though there was anything but peace all around me. Palestine is in my heart. I know that sound cliche but its true and its the only explanation I have.
