Best maraheb from Greece to all of you guys out there. I
work for Consolidated Contractors Company, The biggest
construction contractor in the Middle East and numbered 21st
construction contractor in the World, and is owned by two great
palestinians, Mr. Hasib Sabbagh and Mr. Saeed Khoury. Our main
offices are in Athens, Greece. Our hearts and love go to Ramallah
and the rest of our usurped Palestine, especially at this time
when Israel is celebrating its despotic and oppressive 50th
birthday.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are embarking on a new mellinium,
we are near, yet so far. We have a tremendous load to unload; I
know we can do it, but not on an individual basis. We have to
join hands together and keep up this flame of hope, enthusiaism,
and peace. Last but not least, Salam to each and everyone of you
wherever you are. Issam Hawit

ATTENTION ALL PALESTINIANS: In an effort to preserve part
of the rich culture and delicate history of Palestine and its
people I am doing research on the foods of Palestine. I may even
write a small cookbook. I need your help. If you or your
wife/mom/grandma make a special dish, can you mail me the recipe?
I will need to know what town you are from in Palestine. If there
is a special story behind the food, can you include that too? You
can email me and if you have a friend who is interested in this,
can you ask them to mail me? Many thanks! Chef Gail Alfar 7704

To all my fellow brother and sisters from Ramallah, it is
our duty to keep our culture alive. As a young palestinian, born
in the states it is especially hard to do that. With websites
like this and others we are able to gain knowledge of our
culture, therefore helpig us to gain respect and love for our
nation, Palestine. Just recently I have seen so many teenagers
wanting to become a part of our culture, and that truly moves me.
We should all be proud. I am constantly yearning to learn more
about my culture, and thanks to this web site, I have moved one
step closer to my goals of attaining knowledge of my heritage.
Thank you once again and keep up the great work!! To all my
brothers and sisiters, e mail me. I would love to hear from each
and every one of you. Ma'a Salamah

Dear Friends, With reference to my last entry in this guest
book, please note that the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Centre, which
produces the Al-Nakba site http://www.alnakba.org, is in
Ramallah. It would be great if you made a link to the Al-Nakba
site from your excellent homepage. Thanks. Zahi

What's up? aw yeah-Palestine in da House. Sweet little
site. I just wanted to say how unbelieveable the conventions are!
Detroit was my first convention and it was the best! I had such a
blast and the greatest friends ever. It's the best experience
that can only be understood by people who go. And tho i miss all
the really sweet people I met, the convention is still "da
bomb". So go go go go go. Palestine! woohoo-

Dear Friends, I am writing to draw your attention to the
Al-Nakba site on the Internet http://www.alnakba.org/. This site
is dedicated to the commemoration of the 50 years of
dispossession. It is produced by The Khalil Sakakini Cultural
Cente in the West Bank. It has a listing of destroyed villages,
chronology of events, survivors testimonies, a photo gallery,
bibliography and provides related links. It is extremely well
done! I strongly urge you to visit the site. I think it is the
kind of site that is consistent with the content of your
excellent homepage and I would suggest that you make a link to
it. The email address to contact is sakakini@sakakini.org. I also
think it would be great if visitors to your page were encouraged
to sign the Guest Book at the Al-Nakba site. It seems to me
appropriate for our people in Palestine to know they are not on
their own. So far, ADC National (under the "Palestine 50
Years of Dispossession Link), ADC University of Michigan, ADC New
Orleans, ADC NYC and The American Committee on Jerusalem (Front
Page) have made links to the site. In addition, a number of Arab
and non-Arab personal homepages have made links. Ray Hanania,
award-winning Palestinian author, has also written article and
provided a link from his homepage. Other Chapters and
organizations have been contacted with information on the site
and with a request that they link to it and sign the guest book.
Reminders about the 15 May 50 year commemoration rallies have
been sent out with these messages. Please help us in this effort
by informing your organization and contacting organizations you
are familiar with. There is no time like the present!!! I look
forward to your comments. Thank you and Keep up the good work!
