And to think this was the most impoverished and abandoned district under Caliphate...

Ain't that amazing how the land reacts to her true children returning?

How it looked just a 100 years ago,
before the swamps were dried:

Palestinians: Why is there so much litter in the streets?

"Don't take this image about Palestinians. Because many Palestinians have built other countries around the world with their knowledge and education..."

Did she mean France?

The village of Al Lubban ash Sharqiya was named for "Al Lubban" which means easy and broad, and the word "eastern", due to its location in the east, and to distinguish it from Al Lubban al Gharbi (Al Lubban ash Sharqiya Village Council 2013). The origins of the inhabitants of the village come from Walaja, and Yemen (Al Lubban ash Sharqiya Village Council, 2013)


BTW, where is the village in that picture??
