This year, many Palestinians around the world are >commemorating the Naksa of 1967 and celebrating Ramadan at the same time. Though a lot has changed in the motherland since then, Ramadan's message stays strong.
Because Ramadan is a part of a people's culture, and culture is a part of existence, and in the case of Palestinians, their existence is in itself a form of resistance.
