Hello

WOW. This is an amazing post. Thank you very much for opening the eyes of people to this great tragedy that happened to the Palestinian people. Few people understand the gravity of 800,000 people being forcibly uplifted from their land and literally forced to live in tents.

I too, actually had been working on the exact same post for some time now. I had finished the districts of Yafa, al-Ramla, Tulkarm, Acre, Nazareth, and Beersheba. I was using palestineremembered.com also to find where the towns were, but it proved to be kind of unreliableas it only noted where the towns are by the distance and direction from the district center.

My relatives were also refugees. My mother's family was forced to leave Yaffa in 1948 and flee to Amman. My father's family was forced to leave Bayt Nabala (al-Ramla district) also in 1948 and move to the Jalzone refugee camp in the West Bank. Both of my parents were born after the war on 1948 so they were both born refugees. Not many people know that the plight of the Palestinians does not end with them leaving Palestine. Going from place to place and not being welcomed anywhere is just some of what the Palestinians had to go through.

I did notice a problem with your post, though. You have Yaffa under the Acre district. Thought you might wanna fix that.

Thanks again.
