Amal Nassar is a Pediatric Physiotherapist for Respiratory Diseases at children Relief Bethlehem. She and her family members began the Tent of NationsProject on their farm just six miles from the city. Her grandfather purchased the land during the Ottoman Empire, and has registered the land under the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate and the Jordanian period. They have been working to secure registration of their farm since 1991 in the Israeli Military and then in Supreme Court. Until this moment, there has been no decision on what to do with the Tent of Nations appeal. In the meantime, they establish “facts on the ground” by planting trees and offer the farm as a place to gather and gain greater understanding of the current struggle there. The marker just outside the farm says, “We refuse to be enemies” in three languages. Come hear Amal share these incredible stories of resistance. http://fotonna.org/
