Description
The Arabs in Jerusalem are in constant state of waiting. Everything is fine, blessed Allah, but the bitter memory of June the 5th 1967 sends its reminder every year.
Still, all is good-the Nargilla tabacco, the games of backgammon, the strong Hell-spiced coffee and also the Israeli oppression: seemingly, it has never been more oppressive.
The poverty is hard and prices are higher than ever. The voice of the singer Feruz reaches from the valleys, saying: ‘we are coming back’, but all we have to say is: ‘we are coming back to nowhere but Allah’.
