Keep Their Names
On Thursday afternoon, February 17, 2022, I met on the ruins of my village Mi’ar with a group of students of Al-Shaghour Secondary School from the populated town of Majd al-Krum, accompanied by their teachers and their teachers, to talk to me about my short story “The Leaning Palm” that they are studying within the curriculum of modern Arabic literature, and despite my admiration for their questions and analysis. This indicates their deep understanding of the story and the efforts made by the Arabic language teacher to show her love for her work and literature. However, they brought me back to a subject that has always hurt me whenever I meet our children in universities, in secondary and middle schools, and in cultural clubs, which is ignorance of the sites of our villages and of the names of our villages and religions. And mountains, trees and plants in our country.

Stork Tower
High in the walls of Jerusalem, the Juhayr Tower, with its presence, beauty, history and meanings, is the Al-Luqluq Tower. This tower is a national feature, and an eternal heritage that concerns all the Palestinian people, young and old, living and dead, because it is a Palestinian narrative that has been circulated by tongues and is still, consisting of stories that began to be renewed in every A year, when spring arrives with its dewy green, lavish colours, desirable warmth, and charming flowers, spring is the season for the arrival of storks to our dear Palestinian country, which seeks warmth, tranquillity, and safety, and the anthems and songs of our children in the Palestinian villages and cities welcome these pet birds, who have an amazing presence. They are adornments for fields, prairies, hawks, and rooftops, and they are birds that have the courage that makes them break into homes with meekness and kindness, as if they wanted to belong to them, were it not for the external noise and the snooping guard dogs.

The Poles Village in Istanbul
Istanbul is one of the largest Turkish cities for immigrants since ancient times. Many neighborhoods of Istanbul today have become like ghetto centers, due to immigration from abroad. For example, Afghans live heavily in Zeytinburnu neighborhood, Bosniaks in Bayrampasa neighborhood, Albanians in Alibeykoy and Eyup neighborhoods, Arabs in Beylikduzu and Esenyurt neighborhoods, Europeans in Ortakoy and Bebek neighborhoods, and Africans in Beyoğlu neighborhood.

Canadian Immigration in 2022: What has changed?
Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2022-2024 was recently announced. Since the plan arrived, people seem to be more confused than relieved. On one hand, Canada is looking to land 431000 new Permanent Residents in the current year and on the other hand, the allocation adjustments done to the various categories are slightly confusing to many people. For example, according to the plan announced last year, Canada was targeting 110500 new PRs in 2022 under the Federal High Skilled category (which includes FSW, FST & CEC under The Express Entry system) and this number was brought down to 55900 according to the recently announced plan.

How has the COVID-19 Pandemic Affected Immigration Appeals?
Courts and government administration have been forced to postpone hearings in order to enforce social distancing orders. This has made it difficult for them and other agencies to severely limit face-to-face activities. Many of these operations are now conducted online. Many detained immigrants were also released due to the threat of contagion. What does this mean for immigrant appeals arising from deportation orders?

A Message To Pass To The Anti's
Back in 1968, an international law was created mandating seat belts on airplanes. If you don't like wearing a seatbelt and refuse to abide by the seatbelt rule, you do not fly. It is as simple as that.

My Unexpected Education in U.S. Immigration Policy
Before I met my fiancé, I never had much interest in U.S. immigration policy, but then I had to go and fall in love with a man who is a Haitian citizen. We started the process of applying for his fiancé visa (K-1 visa) in February 2020, and it has been a roller coaster of heartache, hope, frustration, and impatience ever since. Do you have loved ones who can’t easily come to the U.S.? I can’t give any official advice on what you should do, but I can let you know what I have learned so far in my journey.
