The family of Ibrahim and Suha Nateel fled Gaza during the recent conflict and bombing. For 23 days, Suha hid under a bed with her four children, only leaving for the bathroom or to get food, terrified that an Israeli bomb would hit them. They survived on little food and were cold, with the children crying constantly from fear. They have now found refuge in Dublin, Ireland, though the children still have nightmares from the sounds of bombing. Suha is grateful to be safe but says Gaza is destroyed, and she does not feel she can return as it is no longer safe.

Chinese fathers and their Australian families return to China, 1902 to 1940Kate Bagnall
Slides from presentation by Dr Kate Bagnall at the Visible Immigrants Seven conference, Flinders University/Migration Museum, Adelaide, Australia on 14 December 2012.
ABSTRACT
From as early as the late 1850s, Chinese migrant fathers began taking their Australian families to China. Over the eighty years or so that followed, hundreds of young Australians—some full Chinese, some part Chinese and some of full European descent—accompanied their Chinese fathers and step fathers to Hong Kong and southern China, particularly to the Pearl River Delta counties in Guangdong province. For some men, these return journeys signalled the end of an Australian sojourn, while for others it was but a temporary return to their homeland—an opportunity to take care of business or family matters, to educate children, or to visit with friends and relatives before returning ‘home’ once again to Australia.
This paper drew on records created in the administration of the Immigration Restriction Act—legislation which limited the mobility of Chinese people in and out of Australia—to explore this history of geographical mobility in Chinese Australian families. While records of travel in the colonial period are limited, after the introduction of the Immigration Restriction Act in 1901 officials kept careful track of Chinese leaving Australia to ensure that those who returned had the right to do so. The detailed administrative records created by these officials provide information that can be used to investigate both the motivations and mechanisms of travel by Chinese men and their Australian families in the early White Australia period. Why did Chinese fathers take their Australian children with them to China? Where did they travel to? How did they get there? How long did they spend overseas? What did they do there? And, finally, how did they negotiate their personal and familial mobility within the restrictions imposed by White Australia?
I would describe myself as a conscientious worker, problem solver and a dependable team player with laboratory expertise in molecular cloning, virology and immunology. I am proficient at developing small animal infection models, mammalian cell culture, proficient at working in Biosafety level -2 and 3 laboratories, developing recombinant gene constructs through primer design, restriction digestion and bacterial cloning. I am proficient at nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) extraction, quantitative PCR and RT-PCR. My technical expertise in virology and immunology include performing plaque assays and foci forming assays to quantify viremia and ELISA. I possess extensive training in working with laboratory animals and I am proficient at intra-nasal and intra-peritoneal drug administration, working with animal restraint systems like the In-TOX system and have performed nebulization studies using guinea pigs in the past. I also perform tail DNA genotyping in mice.

The Holocaust Rescue Story of George Levy | Application for Recognition as Ri...Rachael Wachstein
To the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes Remembrance Authority:
We ask that you consider recognizing Joseph Van Mackelenbergh as Righteous Among the Nations for risking the life and safety of himself and his family to save the lives of German Jewish children, George and Ursula Levy. Bearing in mind that the Levys are now in their 80s and Trees, the daughter of Joseph Van Mackelenbergh, witness to the lifesaving event is in her 90s, please do not delay judgement on this matter.
Children such as George and Ursula were particularly vulnerable during the Holocaust. Over a million Jewish children perished in the ghettos and death camps. Even children who had parents and family members with them could not escape the murderous Nazi regime. George and Ursula Levy managed to survive the Holocaust as young children without their parents or other family members. There is nothing particularly exceptional about George and Ursula Levy that would explain why they survived when so many others just like them did not.
The only logical explanation for avoiding extermination at Sobibor and receiving the special designation of “exchange Jews” at Bergen-Belsen is that Joseph Van Mackelenbergh, at great risk to himself and family, convinced a sadistic concentration camp commandant to classify the children as half Jews with connections to an enemy state, making them potentially valuable hostages. *Please refer to the information provided by the Dutch National War Archives to Jeroen van den Eijnde, director of the Kamp Vught Memorial and the letter from Rector Leo Weyers to Dr. George Mueller as evidence of the life saving actions taken by Joseph Van Mackelenbergh on behalf of George and Ursula Levy.

ORDEAL Ibrahim and Suha
Nateel with their children, Basil,
Maha, Milad and Maria in
Finglas, North Dublin, yesterday
Picture COLIN KEEGAN/COLLINS
Israeli bombers are on their way. Sitting in
their temporary home at Basleskin Recep-
tion Centre in Finglas, tiny Maria starts to
cry as a plane from the nearby Dublin Airport
passes by.
Suha’s husband Ibrahim said his children’s
dreams have now turned to nightmares
adding: “I can see they are psychologically
damaged. They spent so long in the dark
when they arrived here they couldn’t believe
the sunlight and the sounds.”
Ibrahim was studying for his Masters
Degree when Basil was born and while his
family returned to Gaza he moved to London
to complete his PhD in Politics.
So when the Gaza border closed last
September he was forced to live thousands
of miles away from his family.
The Irish embassy in Tel Aviv made three
dangerous attempts to rescue the Nateels and
other Irish citizens and in the end had to rely
on US protection to get them out.
They travelled to Egypt before flying to
Dublin and yesterday Suha thanked the
embassy workers who never left her side and
praised Irish UN boss John Ging for bringing
Palestinians hope.
The Nateels don’t know how long their Irish
visas will last and are still praying for peace.
Suha sobbed: “Gaza looks like there was
an earthquake – everything is destroyed.
“It’s my home but it’s not safe I couldn’t
go back here. My children are safe in
Dublin. Sorry but I can’t go back.”
FOR 23 days Suha Nateel cowered
under a bed in her Gaza home with
herfoursobbingchildrenandprayed
an Israeli bomb would not hit.
Every night she’d tell the terrified young-
sters that help was on the way and last
Tuesday that dream came true – as they flew
to Dublin and into the arms of Suha’s
husband Ibrahim.
Even though they’re now safe Suha said
the sounds of the Israeli and Hamas conflict
still haunt their dreams.
Choking back the tears she described how
she lost friends and colleagues as blast after
blast destroyed her hometown of Maghazi.
She said: “When the war came we were
closed in one room. We slept under the bed
every night and would only leave to go to
the toilet or get a piece of food.
“It was very miserable. I was scared
death would come every minute.”
Suha was granted emergency refugee
status in Ireland along with her three daugh-
ters because her five-year-old boy Basil was
born in Belfast and has an Irish passport.
She said Basil and his sisters, Maha, 10,
Milad, eight, and three-year-old Maria are now
scared of loud noises because they think
It looks like
there was an
earthquake,
everything is
destroyed. Gaza
is my home but
I can’t go back

Last Spain
Civil War
volunteer
dies at 92
By MIRROR REPORTER
THE last surviving Irish
combatant on the Repub-
lican side of the Spanish
Civil War has died.
Bob Doyle, 92, passed
a w a y i n L o n d o n o n
Thursday after a short
illness.
Mr Doyle was born in
Dublin on February 12,
1916, and became politi-
cally active in the 1930s.
He joined the IRA after
being beaten up in street
fights with the Blueshirts
which left him with perma-
nent damage in one eye.
But he quickly became
more interested in social
issues and, in 1937, decided
to volunteer for the Inter-
national Brigade.
He was partly motivated
by the fact that his former
flat-mate Kit Conway had
been killed in action at the
Battle of Jarama on Bob’s
21st birthday.
EXPELLED
He was foiled in his
initial attempts, arrested
a n d e x p e l l e d f r o m
Valencia.
Undeterred, he made it
into Spain later that year
by crossing the Pyrenees.
Initially deployed to
train new volunteers, he
disobeyed orders in order
to join a frontline group.
After the battle at
Belchite, he was taken pris-
oner by Italian fascists on
the Aragon front in March
1938 and held for 11
months.
He was regularly tortured
by Spanish fascist guards
and interrogated by the
German Gestapo and once
taken out to be shot.
Released as part of a
prisoner exchange deal,
Doyle enlisted in the
British Merchant Navy for
the duration of the Second
World War before settling
in London with his Spanish
wife Lola.
