Does this remind you of anything?
It’s not Qawuqji’s army or that of Abd el-
Qadir al-Husayni.
They did not bear arms (this time…)
It “just” look like an army, sounds like an
army and is organized like an army…

21. Watching the local Arabs watch their children parade
in this manner it was obvious that they saw their
future – and my past…
The lesson is clear:
A Nation that does not respect it’s past, does not
cherish and protect it’s most holy places will never be
respected by anyone else and risks losing everything.
