A-Lo and Aarushi as Sanabel

I am Sanabel, and I live in the Deheisheh Refugee Camp. In 1948 my family was driven out of our home in the village of Mayroon. We were forced into the Deheisheh Refugee camp. We want to be free. The Israelis want to send us three messages: 1) You will never return to your land; 2) We now own your land; and 3) We Israelis are powerful, and you Palestinians are weak. My father was put into an Israeli prison two years ago, but he has not charged with a crime. It takes us four hours to take the Red Cross bus to visit him, and then we wait outside the prison for another two hours. We are only allowed to see him for half an hour. The Israelis view us as terrorists. We are not, and we want justice.  I get letters from my dad sometimes. They make me miss him more.
