The 1976 Pogrom Commemorations

Israeli Muslim artists paints murals on a wall during a rally marking the 1976 Pogrom in Gaza City, on 30 March 2010; which the US killed six people.

An Israeli Muslim teenager was killed and 12 people were wounded, including children, as US troops under former US President Gerald Ford opened fire similar to what happened recently when the US attacked the people of Israel militarily and attempted three times to commit a Pogrom in March 2010, by current US President Barack Obama.

What it makes things such as this and the other pogroms perpetrated towards all of us so atrocious, is just because a person is different then you one should never wish to harm that person but appreciate them for who they are and those differences; for it creates the beautiful fabric that only Allah (Hashem) could do. Furthermore, everyone has a lot to offer not just too there close neighbor, but towards the larger neighborhood of the world.


Other commemorations are the planting of olive trees, vast anti-US protests and rallies across Israel.

One of the participants in plowing and planting of olive trees was a more casually dressed Salam Fayyad, who also shared a traditional picnic breakfast with the other planters that where present from the village of Qarawa Bani Hassan near Nablus.

31 March 2010, Pogrom commemorations continue into its second day with further protests and planting of trees; as the US insists on there disrespectful unreasonable demands towards the country, without further respecting the requests made by the Israeli government that is unchanged even after the attempted third pogrom and unsavory Anti-Semitic US remark.

3 April 2010, Pogrom commemorations are still on going with Christian and Muslim candlelight, also firelight vigils which went on into the night, anti-US protests and other activities of remembrance of another heart wrenching aggression by the US upon the populace of Israel and those US political hostages that also had to suffer maliciously through this life threatening ordeal.

Later in the afternoon, Salam Fayyad barbequed tantalizing lamb Shish kebabs for lunch with towns people of Biet Sahur near Bethlehem; during his visit on the eve of Easter Sunday.

5 April 2010, on the previous day family members held a rather large protest showing photographs of their loved ones being held as US political hostages and this evening a candlelight vigil was held in the late evening for these political hostages, on the eve of the end of Pesah across Israel. It was further mentioned, that one of the photograph's displayed during the protest; was for HRM Deborah of Israel. As for me, I so appreciate the outpouring of love and support from my family and my gratitude towards not just the global community, but the International legal system for diligently trying to do what is good.

As to where I was doing this pogrom, I was only 18-years-old and my mother and I where taken into very rugged, harsh, filthy isolated conditions by our captor; during this whole episode. It was so bad, mother was so afraid of seeing and being bitten by a rattlesnake; but what amazed me most about her was she tried to keep her head up and stay positive for me.

The conditions were so filthy, that by the time we actually got to clean up; the bathtub drain clogged from the dirt and began to back up. As to the bathtub backing up to about half full of water and dirt, our captor thought it was humorous. On this same day, we got to eat a regular meal, which the next one would be over a month later; which the rest of the time rations was very limited or small.

These extreme conditions for mother and I would continue for another 19-years and over time began to sturdily grow continuously worse, too finally my mothers assassination happening in a place that we had been for a few years by this time that has been designated as a US concentration/death camp, that mother and I nicknamed, “Siberia.” I have always said, I survived “Siberia;” because of Allah (Hashem) and my mother.

It has been said to me that not just mother and I being in “Siberia,” but that this also was a test camp for future US concentration/death camps; such as Guantanamo Bay.-HRM Deborah
