520 A Palestinian refugee's inspiring tale of her lifelong
fight to return home. Olfat Mahmoud is a Palestinian
refugee - a descendant of the Christian and Muslim people
who fled Palestine in the period leading up to and after
the founding of the state of Israel in 1948. She is an
accomplished woman in her own right: the director of an
international NGO, an internationally recognised peace
activist, a registered nurse and, most recently, the
recipient of a doctorate. Born in a refugee camp in
Lebanon more than 60 years ago, Olfat's determination to
help her people in their fight to return to their homeland
led to a nursing career that has placed her at the front
line of atrocious massacres and wars in the Middle East.
Tears for Tarshiha follows Olfat's career amid the death
and destruction of Lebanon's many conflicts, and
chronicles the Palestinian people's remarkable capacity
for love and bravery in the most extreme conditions.
Olfat's extraordinary story is emblematic of the
Palestinian plight, illustrating their continued survival
and determination that has become an inconvenience to the
international community. These are the descendants of
those Palestinians who were forced from their homeland at
gunpoint by the Israeli military in 1948 in what is known
as the Nakba - or Catastrophe. In 1949, David Ben-Gurion,
one of the founders and the first prime minister of Israel,
stated that 'we must do everything to ensure [the
Palestinians] never do return...the old will die and the
young will forget'. Despite Olfat's parents and
grandparents never seeing Tarshiha again, this book is
part of Olfat's ongoing campaign to keep her people's
predicament in the public consciousness.
