From Zaynab and Ballu


Hello, we are Zaynab and Ballu from Camden. Today we have been learning more about Abu Dis and the Wall in Palestine. We think it is awful how it has broken up families and the Palestinians have been denied access to schools and health clinics. It is also a terrible injustice that you cannot cross over to Jerusalem without a blue pass. However, we like how the people of Abu Dis express their feelings on the Wall and people from all over the world visit just to leave a message.

We are angry that the Israelis took over the land and refuse to return it, but we have hope that in the future things will change. As well as learning about Palestine, we have been learning about Human Rights. By doing this project, we think that the human rights situation in Abu Dis could be improved.

Has the Wall affected how you go to school, who you meet, how you feel?

And what do you look forward to most on your visit to London?
