Dr. Bishara A. Bahbah, a professor of investment, finance and wealth management who lives in the United States, is one of many Palestinians whose family still has the deed to their land in Palestine, a 68-dunum orchard in the Lod-Jaffa area. He also has his family’s UNWRA food card which shows the monthly rations they received when they were living both in the Zarqa Refugee Camp and then the Old City of Jerusalem. “In contrast,” he wrote us when we were setting up this photograph, “I have on my wall my Harvard PhD which clearly demonstrates that even if Israel takes our lands, they can never take away our brainpower and our unshakable will and determination to succeed. They would have to chop off our heads from our bodies first for them to ultimately succeed.” And with that, we thought it was best to let Dr. Bahbah speak for himself. Name: Bishara Assad Rizek Issa Bahbah. Age: 60. Where you live now: United States. Where your family lived in Palestine: The Old City of Jerusalem What happened to you/them in 1948 My father, who was a barber, had a barbershop at the King David Hotel. When Zionists blew up the hotel, my father was in his shop at the hotel. Some woman, we don’t know who, said to him: “Bahbah, jump! A bomb is about to explode.” He jumped from the second floor as the bomb was exploding. The shock caused my father’s hair to turn grey within a a few months. Shortly after, my family fled to Jordan and ended up in the Zarqa refugee camp, where they took shelter for two years. After that, the family returned to the Old City. One of my sisters was born in the refugee camp.
