Purpose

PalestineRemembered.com was founded for the following reasons:

To emphasize that the CORE issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are the DISPOSSESSION and ETHNIC CLEANSING (compulsory population transfer to achieve political gains) of the Palestinian people for the past five decades. In our opinion, the conflict would have been at the same level of intensity EVEN if both parties had been Jewish, Muslims, or Christians.
To create an easy medium where refugees can communicate, organize, and share their experiences amongst themselves. The refugees are encouraged to attach their stories, memories, pictures, movies, music files, join discussions at the message board and guest book sections, directory service listing of the refugees and their contact information, and URL links related to each listed town.
To provide a comprehensive source of information about the villages and cities that were ethnically cleansed, looted, and destroyed by the Israeli army. At each town's homepage, you will find pictures (both before and after 1948), the current status of the town, the Israeli colonies that occupy the town's lands, a brief history of the town before and after Nakba, detailed accounts of atrocities and any acts of terror, personal accounts from the refugees themselves, and above all live interviewes where refugees recite their experiences, in a visual form, before, during and after al-Nakba.
To preserve the memories and the experiences of Palestinian people around the world, especially the 726,000 Palestinians refugees who were ethnically cleansed from their homes, farms, and businesses as a result of the 1948 war. Currently, the dispossessed refugees number 5.9 million and constitute the great majority of the Palestinian people. On the political front, so far their voices have gone unheard, and we at PalestineRemembered.com hope to amplify their voice in cyberspace.
To increase refugees' awareness of their rights to return to their homes, farms, and businesses based on United Nations General Assembly resolution 194. Based on this resolution, every single refugee has the right to go back to his or her home, and to be compensated for any loss of their properties, pain, and suffering.

How Can You Help?

In the Spring of 2003, PalestineRemembered.com launched al-Nakba's Oral History Project, click here for further details. This project is in serious need of donations to expand it and keep it running. Your generous donation, no matter how little it is, will be critical for the project's survival. Click here, if you wish to send your donation.
Spread and promote the site especially among Palestinians who are capable of documenting the memories of their relatives. To help you promote the website among Palestinians, we have prepared a flier in MS Word format, click here to download. Please be free to print and distribute it in community centers, mosques, churches, and shops.
If you have any pictures about your hometown (whether old or new), you can help us by either scanning the pictures and uploading the image directly to our site, or you can mail us the pictures, which we will scan, upload, and then mail you back the pictures if you ask us to do this for you.
If you are from a village that has been destroyed, publicize your village's page to your friends and family. Help us publicize the injustice that has been perpetrated against your people.
We have a shortage of documented data about the ethnically cleansed cities & villages, which were not destroyed by the Israeli army. If you have well researched documentation about these towns please do not hesitate to contact us.

If you are an Israeli, you can help us by contributing any information or pictures you have about the destroyed or ethnically cleansed cities and villages. We at Palestine Remembered do not judge all Israelis or Jewish people by the actions of the Zionist movement and its leaders. We understand that many Israelis and Jews around the world support the Palestinian struggle for justice and are willing to do their part in bringing an end to the wrongs of the past.
