Description
Photo of a Palestinian farmer in Jurish holding a 117-year-old sales document bearing an Ottoman stamp proving that the land belongs to his family.

This 73-year-old Palestinian said that this document, inherited from his grandfather, was preserved from generation to generation in a plastic frame with frayed edges.

"This is a document from the Ottoman period showing that my grandfather Abdulfettah Mansour bought 60 acres of land in Jurish. The document proves that the land was bought by Abdulfettah Mansour. There is also an Ottoman seal underneath. This land has been owned by our family since 1906"

No this doesn't justify acts of terrorism, and no this doesn't mean that Hamas are good or that we should support them. But it's important to know that there were people in the land in 1947 when "israel" showed up because Britain felt bad for Jews after the Austrian painter incident. And we should remember that this is a human issue, on both sides. And we as Christians should pray that God have mercy and give conversion to both sides, bringing them to Christ and through Him, to true and lasting peace.
