"And I too, Love Jerusalem “: Voices from Al Nakba

from This Is Palestine · host The IMEU

How Do You Remember the City That Was Stolen From You?! In this episode of This Is Palestine, ninety-year-old George Bahu revisits his childhood in al-Baqa’a al Foqa, a Palestinian neighborhood in West Jerusalem before the Nakba. He remembers school, cinema, Bus No. 6, and his father’s transportation company that once connected Jerusalem to cities across Palestine. George also recalls the violence that transformed the city: the King David Hotel bombing, armed Zionist attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods, and the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948. Forced into exile with his family, George never returned home. But decades later, he still carries Jerusalem with him: in photographs, documents, dreams, and memory.
