The Palestinian Boy Who Would Not Die

Hugo Hørlych Karlsen has written the story of the man from Sabbarin. He was born in the village no one can see. Let us meet the man who does not exist. Let us see him in the village no one can see. Let us follow him to the country without a people. Let us hear his story about how he lost a way of life and built a new one. A way of life that is in the heart of the recent history of Palestine. ‘The Jews don’t hate us,’ my father said. ‘And we don’t hate them. We have always lived peacefully together with Jews, and we could have continued to do so. Having been expelled is a political decision. Our Jewish neighbours have nothing to do with this.’
