This activity was of course in coordination with the [PA] Ministry of Education and in cooperation with the ministry-”
Official PA TV host: “The Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) in the eyes of the students in Palestine.”
Muhammad Alyan: “The Nakba in the eyes of the students in Palestine. More than 500 schools from 16 districts and 2,300 students participated in this creative competition… [The students] bring it home, because they need to write about this topic – they get the entire family involved, the brothers, sisters, young ones, and fathers. Therefore, this is what we want, to instill the culture of the right of return and the national rights among the children, among this generation on which we rely that it will build the Palestinian state and realize the return to the areas from which we were expelled in 1948.”
Host: “Certainly.”
Muhammad Alyan: “This is our outlined, clear, and true right, and without a doubt we will realize [it] sooner or later.”
