Displaced, Replaced, Forgotten - David Nammar

David Nammar was only 13 years old in Jerusalem, Palestine when for the first time in his life he heard and learned the meaning of the word "terror." That's when the peaceful city he once knew turned upside down. When the Jewish paramilitary invaded Jerusalem's modern Arab neighborhoods, they would abduct his dad and older brother leaving his mom with the rest of the seven very young children unprotected at their home on Nammar Street. Not for long though. Eventually the family would be forced out of their home into a fenced security zone confined with a few other Palestinian families that were also forced out of their neighborhoods. A year or so later, with dad and brother still being held at a concentration camp, David had to look for a job so that his family could survive under this new apartheid state of Israel. After facing countless obstacles under Israeli rule, finally at the age of 27, with hardly any money in his pocket, he succeeded in running away from Israel to find freedom and a future in the United States of America.
