Good morning to the worker who toils to build this country, and to the farmer who sows his hope in the soil and watches over it with his eyes.
And a morning of jasmine and roses to our students, the hope of tomorrow and the torchbearers, and a thousand greetings and salutations to every steadfast Palestinian man and woman, firmly rooted in the land and everywhere.

The firewood by artist Reem Arkan
CROSSFIREARABIA – The Firewood by artist Reem Arkan is a passionate piece of artistry that dwells on society, culture, identity, politics and gender. It displays the central role of the women and her importance in Palestinian society. The Koffieh represents Palestinianism, the wood hardwork and perseverance, the olives, commitment to the land and embroidered dress is our culture and identity. The artist gives a brilliant depiction starting from the face, the hand and the dresswear. The painting should be called the “Firewood Gatherer.”
