SUPPORTING THE PALESTINIANS -- 12

+ Wall Writings offers "War Destroys Jabra Home on Baghdad’s Princesses’ Street" by James M. Wall. It begins: "The Nakba has claimed another victim. This time it was not the death of one of the millions of Palestinians driven from their homes by the 1948 creation of the modern state of Israel. In this case, the loss was a private home on Princesses’ Street in Baghdad, Iraq, an ending that might have passed unnoticed under a pile of rubble, in spite of that home’s importance in the cultural history of both Palestine and Iraq."
