Reuniting for the Palestinian Right of Return

US, (Pal Telegraph) - December 11, 2011 marks the 63rd anniversary of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194, the legal basis of the Palestinian right of return to their lands and homes expropriated by Zionists intent on establishing an exclusivist Jewish state in historic Palestine. The month also marks nearly 40 years of friendship between longtime Palestine solidarity activists Ghada Karmi and Ellen Siegel, pictured below in three successive photographs, each taken 20 years apart--the first two in front of the Israeli Embassy in London in 1973 and 1992, respectively, and the most recent in 2011 at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. During these years, Palestinian right of return has remained unrealized: Siegel, a Jewish American, may readily become an Israeli citizen simply by traveling to the region and declaring her intention to live there, while Karmi, a Palestinian refugee, may visit her familial home in Jerusalem but is not permitted to return there, much less to reside permanently in the Jewish state of Israel.
