In the framework of her
periodical visits to the National Center for Community
Rehabilitation, Mrs. Anja Meulenbelt , Chairperson of Kifaia
Foundation, visited the center in an effort to watch closely
the center's activities and programs , and the Palestinian
hard conditions as well.
Mrs. Anja's visit took
place concurrently with the Israeli massacres against the
Palestinian people; she gulped the bitterness of their
suffering, and witnessed the children's death and collapse
of houses on people.
"One million and a half
Palestinians are undergoing the trauma in the Gaza Strip"
Mrs. Anja stated that confirming that would be the title of
her upcoming article that would be allotted for the recent
incidents in Gaza. She added that she always tries to make
full advantage of her web log to convey what happens in the
occupied territories.
Mrs. Meulenbelt pointed
out that the Israeli media is smarter and more effective
than the Palestinian media despite the Palestinian just
cause which is misrepresented to the European countries ,
displaying the Palestinian resistance as terrorists. Hence,
the Palestinian media should improve its tools in an effort
to manifest the real status quo in the Gaza Strip. She also
pointed out that the Israeli pretext of aggression is always
justified in self-defense. On the other hand, no one refers
to the Palestine people's right in defending themselves
against the occupation.
Mrs. Anja raised the
troubles she faces when coming to the Palestinian
territories , revealing that she is treated by the Israeli
forces as a Palestinian since they usually try to make her
visit hard as much as possible. However, that gives her more
powerful understanding to the Palestinian people's suffering
on checkpoints.
Mrs. Meulenbelt concluded
her speech with saying the Palestinian people is endowed
with steadfastness and willpower, and masters the art of
life in spite of all means of repression.
Mr. Khaled Abu Zaid,
Chairman of the NCCR, expressed his extended appreciation
for Mrs. Anja's exalted efforts on her web log, and her
non-stop support for the disabled people through courses and
lectures which aim at promoting the capabilities of the home
care teams. Mr. Abu Zaid denounced the Israeli massacres
against the Palestinian that have resulted in further than
100 martyrs including a great deal of children. He also
emphasized on the determinateness of the Palestinian unity
to face the Israeli aggression.
