Today is the day of sadness for Palestine
By Mustafa Al-Sawaf
The morning has become a bright day, although we live in the autumn, and as usual every day, calm prevails in the situation, children in schools and young ones in Riyadh, but children in their work, except this day everyone is sitting at home.
I asked with disapproval what is new today, you and your children did not go to your work, and the children did not go to their schools and sports, and they explained to me, today is not a Friday, nor a holiday, why did you not go as usual to your work?
Some of them looked at each other in surprise at the question, and one of them said while smiling, “You talk so hard that you do not know today from history what is in it?”, I said to him, “Why are you surprised?”
What is strange about it?, He increased his astonishment, And he said, “You don’t know what will be on 11/15 of 1988,” I mean the day of the deception that we were deceived with 33 years ago and they sold us on that day called it Independence Day.
Everyone said, yes, my father, it is the day of independence, I forgot, and how can I forget, and Jerusalem has been liberated and the land has returned to its people, and we go and go out to our cities and villages, right, and someone said, my father, it is not so, and I know what you think of this day, which you describe as the day of deception and selling illusion, but what to do they considered it a day off and celebration and called it Independence Day, what do we do is a day when we sit with our children at home and consider it a day of rest.
I told him yes, This is what people do, some of them are deceived and some of them find a day of rest, but I find it a day of sadness and disappointment over the loss of Palestine, Not because of the Balfour Declaration but because of our betrayal of the cause and constants.
Hence my appeal to everyone, headed by the governmental follow-up committee and all its institutions, how long will we be consistent with those who deceived us and gave up our rights and called it independence, I hope that you will stop deception and deception and tell everyone the truth about Independence Day as a day of deception, negligence and recognition of the enemy even before Oslo.
Follow the day of sadness for Palestine
Relax yourselves and your people and be honest with them and tell them the truth and stop considering this day as a day of independence and call it by the real name the day of sale, negligence and renunciation of Palestine, Stop giving the employee and student a day off.
It is the day of sadness from which we wanted to slaughter the Palestinian who was killed in the past and you want to slaughter him again.
