WEYN aRAMALLAH... WEYN aRAMALLAH WIL FIYIM SAFIN WEYN aRAMALLAH... this song came to mind as I browsed through this website... I AM IMPRESSED BY THE CONTENT AND CAN ONLY HOPE FOR MORE OF OUR COUSINS TO SEE THIS.. PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE MADE BETTER KNOWN TO OUR COUSINS IN THE HATHIHE RAMALLAH MAGAZINE, I AM POSITIVE THAT MANY MORE OF US WILL VISIT THIS GREAT WEBSITE... WE HAVE TO STAND STRONG AND KEEP OUR CULTURE ALIVE. SINCE MOST OF US ARE BUSY BETWEEN WORK AND/OR SCHOOL, HAVING A WEBSITE LIKE THIS ALLOWS US TO KEEP INFORMED AND IN TOUCH WITH OUR FAMILIES EVEN WITH OUR BUSY SCHEDULES. WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND SINCE WE USE THE COMPUTER ON SUCH A REGULAR BASIS,WHY NOT USE IT TO STRENGTHEN THE BOND BETWEEN FELLOW RAMALLAHITES. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT POWER IS NOT ONLY IN NUMBER, BUT ALSO THROUGH THE HARD WORK THAT HAS BEEN DIPLAYED HERE. WE HAVE A VERY UNIQUE CULTURE AND TO BE FROM RAMALLAH IS A GREAT HONOR ... originally FROM rAmALLaH THAT IS (THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO OFFEND ANY NON-RAMALLAHITES WHO SAY THEY ARE, BUT AREN'T ORIGINAL INHABITANTS) MY SINCERE THANKS TO THOSE WHO MADE YET ANOTHER STEP TOWARD OUR FUTURE POSSIBLE AND MY THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL MY FELLOW RAMALLAH YOUNG ADULTS THAT WILL ASSIST IN THE PRESERVATION OF OUR WONDERFUL HERITAGE. WE ARE THE FUTURE... WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE IT OR BREAK IT.... LET US ONE DAY PASS DOWN TO OUR FUTURE FAMILIES THE BEAUTY THAT OUR TATAS AND SEDOS PASSED DOWN TO US. MA'A SALAMEH YA LOU'LAD BALADI.

First of all, I would like to formely congratulate the Detroit community for a job well done on the convention. Secondly, I would like to recognize all the hard work and effort put forth by the Detroit youth to create and participate in the magnificent "Go Ask Your Father" play and the debke! Thirdly, on behalf of the Detroit Ramallah Youth Group, I would like to thank President Samir Mashni for inviting the Board to a Federation meeting; we learned a lot from this experience, thank you! Lastly, to any teenager Ramallahites, the Detroit youth would like to involve different youth chapters across the nation to participate with us in some sort of competition at the Houston convention; if you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me, thank you.

It's so nice to see so many arabs joined together in one place. Maybe if we joined together worlwide, we could win Palestine back. I'm originally from El-biereh but I have been living in the U.S.A. since I was 3 years old. My parents moved back to Palestine 9 months ago and I will probably follow them when I graduate from college in May. I was trying to get a headstart on finding a job there by e-mailing some of the hospitals. But I can't find the e-mail address to Ramallah Hospital. Does anyone know how I can find their e-mail address? I'd appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.

I wanna take this chance to express my thankfulness to the Federation and its members for the help they've provided to me. This organization is absolutely a good way to unite Palestinians in America. However, its name implies that it's limited to Ramallah's inhabitants living in the U.S. What happened to the word PALESTINE. I agree that most Palestinian Americans are from Ramallah but before emphasizing Ramallah to them, we should emphasize Palestine. And one other thing, let's have a 'FIND ME A BRIDE' section on this web page. :)

ES UN HONOR PARA MI ESTAR EN ESTE LIBRO EL CUAL ME AYUDA A RECORDAR QUE AUNQUE AMERICA ESTE LEJOS DE PALESTINA EL SENTIMIENTO Y EL CORAZON ESTAN TAN CERCA COMO LA VICTORIA. DOY GRACIAS A DIOS POR DEMOSTRAR QUE LAS DISTANCIAS POR MAS LARGAS QUE SEAN, DENTRO DE LOS CORAZONES SON CORTAS. VIVA PALESTINA Y EL PUEBLO QUE HA LUCHADO TANTO POR TENER UNA PATRIA LIBRE E INDEPENDIENTE.
