Blinken is expected to soon be confirmed as U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s secretary of state.\u00a0When accepting his nomination, Blinken recalled his stepfather\u00a0Samuel Pisar,\u00a0who was one of 900 children in his school in Bialystok, Poland, but the only one to survive the Holocaust after four years in concentration camps. He went on to recall Pisar\u2019s escape from a death march in Nazi-controlled Germany, after which the boy was rescued by a Black U.S. soldier.\u00a0Just before being lifted onto a tank, Pisar\u00a0\u201cfell to his knees, and said the only three words he knew in English that his mother had taught him before the war: \u201cGod bless America.\u201d\u200b Later in his confirmation hearing Blinken also said the U.S.-Israel relationship was \u201csacrosanct\u201d and the U.S. would keep its embassy in Jerusalem, which he called the capital of Israel<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dear Mr. Blinken,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I believe people are reborn through their suffering. They develop a heightened appreciation for what it takes to survive and learn to find happiness even in the most mundane moments because they know how much it\u2019s worth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I follow the news, and when you were nominated, I wanted to learn more about your background and why you think the way you do, because if you are confirmed by the U.S. Senate, you will have a lot of influence over my life. You, more than almost any other American official, will guide your country\u2019s relationship with both Israel, which controls my home, and Palestinians, who live under its thumb. I was moved and saddened by what happened to your stepfather during World War \u2161. I am deeply sorry for the terror and loss he experienced as the only survivor among 900 children in his school in Bialystok, Poland. And then to escape from one of Hitler\u2019s infamous \u201cdeath marches\u201d! I shudder at the thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Every tragedy is unique. But reading about your stepfather\u2019s forced exile brings to mind my maternal grandparents and their forced displacement by the creation of Israel in 1948. We call it the\u00a0<em>Nakba\u00a0<\/em>(catastrophe). Like your stepfather, my grandparents were forced to leave their home because of their race and religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-231609 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mona-.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mona-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mona--300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mona--150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mona--370x370.jpg 370w\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"432\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/span><figcaption><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Mona AlMsaddar (Photo: We Are Not Numbers)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My mother\u2019s father, Ahmad, was only 12 at the time. His brother, Ibrahim, was 15 and his sister was just 7. Their family lived in Faja, a small village near Jaffa in what is now Israel. Today, it does not exist. It was merged into the Israeli town of Petah Tikva, which I am not allowed to visit. The Israeli blockade prevents me from leaving Gaza, much less entering the land where my grandparents\u2019 family called home for centuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My great-grandfather, Mohammad, was a very tall man with eyes that were green like a lemon not yet mature. He had a bald spot in the middle of his head, so he used to comb his hair to cover it\u2014but in an attractive way. He was the only one in Faja with a bike. He used to ride it with his beloved wife, Fatima, sitting on his lap. They grew up in a conservative society, but he fell in love with her from afar. They were cousins and he would wait for her when she fetched water, gazing at her from a distance. Later, when they were engaged and then married, they farmed alongside each other in the orange groves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">That contented existence came to an end in 1947 when Israeli gangs opened fire at the village\u2019s cafe and the people sitting inside. Everyone worried about what might come next. But no one ever imagined that they would be forced to flee from their sweet village and never come back!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I can recreate their forced flight in my dreams at night, based on the stories my grandparents tell me. They were just children, like your stepfather, Mr. Blinken. They ran under the threat of bombing and trudged long distances from one village to another, sleeping in tents, uncertain of what they would eat or drink the next day. My great-grandparents were convinced their exile would be only temporary, but my grandfather and his siblings were homesick from the very first day. Even today, when I look into their eyes, I can almost see Faja, waiting there with its orange trees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My great-grandfather had been fond of playing <em>seega<\/em> [an Egyptian board game similar to chess] with his friends under the eucalyptus camaldulensis tree (also known as red river gum). Later, as a refugee in Rafah City in Gaza, he and one of his friends who kept playing the same game together until his old playmate passed away. That was their way of remembering their village.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In 1977, my great-grandfather managed to visit Faja, or rather the destroyed version of it, with his grandchildren, including my mother! The school his son, Ahmad (my grandfather) attended was gone. So was the local playground. The only they recognized from the Faja they knew was the lonely eucalyptus tree, who they imagined had managed to survive as it waited for its young friends to return and play <em>seega<\/em> under its canopy. My mother, Aysha, told me that when her father saw the tree, he sat under it and cried. He wanted to stay there forever, but he could not because his permission from the Israelis to be there was about to end. His permit to return to the land his family had owned was only for one time and for a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Can I ask you to put on our shoes? Close your eyes and imagine wanting to return to the home of your grandparents. But the officer at the airport will not allow you to do so. Or, in the best scenario, you are allowed to step foot in in the city for a few hours only. If you stay any longer, you would be punished\u2014probably thrown into jail. How would you feel, do you think? Heartbroken is not enough to describe what I feel every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I am a 25-year-old half-refugee Palestinian girl (my father\u2019s family was born here), who has never been allowed to leave the Gaza concentration camp. You may think it is too harsh to call it that but consider: We are not allowed to operate a seaport or airport and can only leave by land if we are granted a rare permit. All I know about airplanes are drones and jet fighters. I even know the difference between F16s and F35s. While writing this, the sound of bombing is so loud in my heart. We are not allowed to make a living through exports. We get electricity only four to eight hours a day due to the fuel shortages, and most of our water is not fit to drink because we cannot rebuild our waste-treatment plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Our\u00a0<em>Nakba<\/em>\u00a0was not limited to 1948. It continues each day that we are forced to live under these conditions. So, please, Mr. Blinken, when you deliberate on policy related to Israel and Palestinians in the coming months, remember my family. We are trying so hard to live and survive. Come visit us to see for yourself. You can be my guest. Maybe we can even teach you <em>seega<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Yours with hope,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Mona AlMsaddar<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following open letter to Antony Blinken was first published by We Are Not Numbers.
