There are also the eyewitness accounts of the march from Lydda by Father Audeh Rantisi, an Anglican priest who later served as the deputy Mayor of Ramallah, and Canon Naim Ateeq's memory of the forced removal of the people of Beisan (Beit Shan). Naim Ateek--Anglican priest and the founder of Sabeel--was an 11-year-old boy in Beisan (Beth Shan) when the Jewish militia entered the city on May 12, 1948--just two days before the State of Israel was declared. This along with the occupation of Acre, Tiberias, Haifa, Beisan, Jaffa and Safad, all before May 15, caused Palestinians to flee their homes; and this is what caused a breakdown in the Oslo Agreement when Israel would not face the questions of reparation and repatriation. |
