My mother, Shukria, used to say, 'Oh, high moon, relay my greetings to dear brother Salah!' conveying the profound longing she felt for her only brother, separated from her since childhood. This simple yet poignant phrase encapsulates the emotional weight of separation experienced by many Palestinian families.
In 1967, when Israel invaded and occupied the remaining Palestinian territories, it denied the right of return to Palestinians living abroad. For Uncle Salah, this meant a devastating separation from his homeland—a stark contrast to the unfettered right granted to Jews worldwide to immigrate to Israel.
