Context added by this archive
A four-line brief, but it is a 1949 American report of expulsions from a Galilee village carried out after the war, told through the voice of one of the expelled. Rameh (al-Rama) is in the Galilee, inside the new state. The speaker is a Palestinian Christian and the paper lets him say “our people” without gloss.
