Following are excerpts from an interview
with Sara Jaber, a 92-year-old Palestinian who participated in a
Right of Return demonstration on the Jordanian Israeli border. The
interview was aired on Al-Aqsa TV on May 13, 2011:
Interviewer: Please tell us
who you are.
Sara
Jaber: I am from Hebron. The Jaber family.
Interviewer: What is your name?
Sara Jaber: Sara Muhammad 'Awwadh Jaber.
Interviewer: How old are you?
Sara Jaber: I am 92.
Interviewer: So you remember May
15, 1948, the day of the Nakba.
Sara Jaber: Why wouldn't I remember? May Allah support us. I hope we forget those days. Allah willing, you will bury [Israel], and massacre the Jews with your own hands. Allah willing, you will massacre them like we massacred them in Hebron.
Interviewer: What does this day mean to you? You have lived 63 years since the Nakba. You have experienced the entire Nakba...
Sara Jaber: 92 years. That's 92. I lived through the British era, and I lived through
the massacre of the Jews in Hebron. We, the people
of Hebron, massacred the Jews. My father massacred them, and brought
back some stuff...
p> Interviewer: Thank you very much.
