As I marched back home from Talbiyyeh, I thought that even though my mother, like the rest of the Talbiyyeh Arab residents, lost her Jerusalem home, she was lucky enough to have been able to recover from her loss and build a new life for herself. Rural Palestinians, whose whole villages were destroyed, had been less fortunate and were now living in crowded, impoverished refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria, waiting to return home, waiting for justice to prevail.
