Once upon a time, when most consciences
have died, two young Palestinian girls, Grace and Dania, were obligated to live
in exile. Each lived in a country far away from home, until they finally met
each other through the internet. They both wanted to land to be free and back
as it used to be.
One day, they decided to travel to
Palestine together. Each one started her journey from the country of her residence
and decided to meet the other in the airport in Palestine. They were delighted
to finally meet and be in their own country. They were so happy that they
started to visit places and know more about their home country right after
arriving at the airport. And they didn’t go to their rented apartment until
they couldn’t take another step!
On the second week of their stay in
Palestine, at dawn, they heard a deafening noise, they felt the ground shaking
beneath them and it was as if the apartment will fall apart. Grace and Dania
immediately got out of the apartment, covering their heads with their bare
hands as if they were protecting themselves from the falling roof. No doubt,
that was the Israeli occupation, then. This was their first time to experience
and be in such a terrifying situation. They saw building being destroyed, innocent
people getting killed, children crying, and even trees being cut down. Such
horrifying scenes for two young girls who have seen nothing similar but on T.V.
The last thing they saw before getting
arrested and locked up in prison was an Israeli soldier holding a gun and
pointing it at an innocent little child; they pushed that soldier away without
thinking of the consequences..They tried with all their strength to fight back
and stop the soldiers from arresting them, but in vain.
They both stayed in their prison cells for
three days without food, clean water, or even enough air to breathe. It was
miserable in there and they were hopeless. At midnight, and out of the blue,
Dania heard a voice coming from the tiny window whispering, “Psst! Hey, you!”
That voice made her cheer up and regain her strength to stand up on her feet.
“Who is this?” She whispered back. “I’m Mohammad, my friends and I will get you
out of here.” He replied. “How?!” She asked with a big exclamation mark above
her head. “We managed to enter the prison without being noticed, it’s not
secured enough. And now, we’ll try to break through the walls. Tell as many
people as you can.” The man said. So, she did. Although the prison wasn’t
secured enough as Mohammad said, it was a quite difficult mission to
accomplish. But eventually, they were able to get everybody out.
By the time the last prisoner escaped, the
Israeli guards realized that they were not doing their job correctly and their
senses weren’t present. They noticed the prison break and tried to call as many
soldiers and policemen as possible, but it turned out that there was a whole
army of Palestinians hiding and waiting silently behind a hill for the perfect
moment to attack. The Israelis were very shocked and they didn’t know what reaction
they ought to take.
The Palestinians went running down the hill
in massive numbers, they didn’t have enough weapons nor shields, but it was
their anger and want for freedom that led them. They kept throwing their
enemies with rocks and stones, they used much unsophisticated weapons, yet,
this was not an excuse for remaining silent anymore. They stood together in
unity fighting for their rights, their freedom and for their country. Grace and
Dania were certainly in the first lines of this brave, united, noble army.
Despite the fact that they were exhausted and feeling pain all over their
bodies, they fought like the strongest army in the world. Fighting for hours,
many people dying from both sides, more and more Israelis running away, and
finally, Palestinians raising their flag with great pride! Palestine is at last
FREE.
THE
END. :D
