....

And tomorrow the start of a new year.....the year of will and Arab unity.... I wish you a year filled with hope and goodness and health...and happiness...and a year....for removing the effects of aggression...and occupation in all their forms and wherever their places are...in Palestine and the Arab world...entire. O God, amen...!

We intended to revel......! .......and farewell......to the year 2020.... and its parting a smile...and joy and a holiday....!

An Arab asked a Chinese: "What's your name??"... The Chinese said: "For what?" The Arab: "Not for anything"..........The Chinese: "How did you know my sister's name!!"

What's wrong, what's the matter....Masha'Allah....for what.........not for anything...!

Go on, let's sit down!.....We're tired!......and while we are sitting we walk...!
