Springtime in Gaza
(Interesting to note the mixture of bright colours such as lilac, fuschia, and red are often reflected in traditional Palesinian embroidery originating from Beer il-Sabi3, Isdud, and other areas in and around the historical Gaza district.

Dis is no fer tis is poscards, no flowers in palestine. israelski primitivski burn all the flowers in Falashtin. No flowers! Zios! Give us all flowers you steal from us! You steal all opur cocumbers and potatoes! Shame on zioz!
"Spring time for Hitler and Germany..." Oops, wrong place. Wrong time...
great pics
beautiful pics, especially the one with the lone red rose (?).
"Why Palestinians Usually Get It wrong" has been going round blogspamming comment sections of pro-Palestinian blogs, including mine. At one point he was putting completely irrelevant and abusive comments on my blog at a rate much faster than I could take them down.
What exactly he's trying to achieve with his Rachel Corrie jokes remains rather unclear. Rachel was naive but she doesn't deserve this in any way. Many agree with us on that.
Salaam Fatima-
yeah, that red flower shows up in spring in the most unexpected of places (scorched land, garbage dumps, etc.)...its quite a thing of beauty of a symbol of tenacity. It is called "Shaqa2iq al-No3man" or "anemone" in english...=)
You have such lovely pics, umyousuf!
@annon2
The 3rd one is a red poppy flower... very common in syria, Lebanon and Iraq.
There is white poppies too in the same shape but a bit smaller and white in colour.
Asalamu Alaykum,
Your photos are beautiful and moving :)
I especially love flowers, and I love seeing these when i visit my husband in Jordan (he is Jordanian).
I am sad that I am missing the springtime there.
To whom he asked anout the red rose name, here it is in arabic:
Original arabic: Shakeek
Palestinian dialect: Sh'ee'
': glateral stop
In fact this flower is extremely common in Palestine's spring. It grows in Spring and dies after
