first and second conferance


Suad here spoke about the living through occupation that is not fake or compositon its from her real life in Ramallah through the Israeli occupation. So she informed about the frustrations, cabin fever, and downright misery of daily life in the west bank town in Ramallah, with its curfews, roadblocks, house-to-house searches, and violence. And also she wrote about the enormous difficulty of moving from one place to another, the torture of falling in love with someone from another town, the absurdity of her dog receiving a Jerusalem identity card when thousands of Palestinians could not do so, and the impossibility of acquiring a gas mask from the Israeli Civil Administration during the first Gulf War in 1991. There are also the challenges of shopping during curfew breaks, the trials of having her 92 year old mother in law living in her house during a 42 day curfew, and thoughts on Israel’s Separation Wall.
While galit wrote about Jerusalem in her Zionist opinion, so she described Jerusalem as mother, daughter, and prostitute!!!!! Different cultures passed in Jerusalem and adorned its hills with pearls and that means as I understood that she meant that its our time to adorn til another can come and take this land.
And from the writing I learned more differences about both cultures because every writer uses its cultural words.
