أمّا في الأنراحِ وَالأحْرانِ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ طقوس وَداعِ المُتَوَفِّى وَدَفْنِهِ، وَإِكْرَامِ عَائِلَتِهِ بِدَعَوَتِها إِلى الوَلائِمِ، وَإِرْسالِ الطَّعَامِ إِلَيْهَا، وَمُشارَكَتِها حُزْنَها طيلَةَ أَيَّامِ العَزاءِ، وَمَا بَعْدَهُ، مِنْ مَظاهرِ التَّعاضُدِ، وَنُبَلِ المُواساة، وَهِيَ مَدْعاةٌ لِاسْتِمَرَارِ (العونَةِ) الفِلَسْطينِيَّةِ وَبَقائها عُنْوانَ هُوِيَّةٍ، وَنَهْجَ حَياة وَلَيْسَ غَرِيباً أَنْ تَتَجَلَّى (العونَةُ) في مواكب تؤديعِ الشُّهَداءِ، وَعِيادَةِ الجَرْحى، وَاسْتِقْبَالِ الأشرى، فَما إِنْ يُسْتَشْهَدَ فِلسطيني حَتّى تَجْتَمِعَ عَلَيْهِ القُلوبُ، وَتَتَفَرَّغَ لِوَدَاعِهِ وَالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَتَشْيِيعِهِ جماهير غفيرَةٌ، يَتَوافَدُونَ لِمُشارَكَةِ عائِلَتِهِ مُصابَها ، وَالوُقوف إلى جانبها، وَدَعْمِها بِكُلِّ الإمكاناتِ المُتاحَةِ، وَالتَّعاوُنِ في إعادَةِ بِناء ما تَهدِمُهُ جَرّافاتُ المُحْتَلّينَ مِنْ مَنازِلِهِم، وَالمُساهَمَةِ فِي رِعايَةِ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَكَفالَةِ تَعليمهم .

As for times of bereavement and sorrow, all the rituals of bidding farewell to the deceased, burying them, honoring their family by inviting them to meals, sending food to them, and sharing their grief throughout the days of mourning and beyond, are manifestations of solidarity and noble consolation; they are a catalyst for the continuation of the Palestinian 'Awna' (mutual aid) and its survival as a hallmark of identity and a way of life. It is not strange that this 'Awna' manifests in processions bidding farewell to martyrs, visiting the wounded, and welcoming prisoners. No sooner is a Palestinian martyred than hearts gather around him, and vast crowds devote themselves to bidding him farewell, praying over him, and accompanying his funeral, flocking to share in his family's affliction, standing by their side, supporting them with all available means, cooperating in rebuilding the homes demolished by the occupier's bulldozers, and contributing to the care of their children and sponsoring their education.

أَمَّا الأُسَرُ الَّتي يَتَعَرَّضُ أَبْناؤُها لِلأَسْرِ، فَإِنَّها تَجِدُ كُلَّ رِعايَةِ وَاهْتِمَامِ مِنَ الْأَهْلِ وَالأَصْدِقـاءِ، وَالمُؤسَّساتِ الرَّسْمِيَّةِ وَفي مَواكِبٍ تَحْرِيرِ الأَسْرى تَنْطَلِقُ الزَّغاريدُ، وَتَصْدَحُ الحَناجِرُ بِالأَناشيد؛ فَرَحاً بِلَمٌ شَمْلِ الأَسْرَةِ الَّتِي فَرَّقَتْها الأغْلالُ، وَغَيَّبَتْ فَرْحَتَها عَتَمَةُ الزَّنازِينِ كَما تَلْهَجُ الأَلْسِنَةُ بِدَعْواتِ النِّفاءِ لِلجَرحى وَالمُصابينَ الَّذِينَ يَسقُطُونَ فِي مَيْدَانِ المُواجَهَةِ، فَيَتَدافَعُ النَّاسُ لِلتَّبَرُّع بالدم، والاطمئنانِ عَليهِم وَالدَّوْدِ عَنْهُم .

As for families whose children are subjected to imprisonment, they find every care and attention from relatives, friends, and official institutions. In the processions of prisoner liberation, ululations ring out and throats chant songs of joy at the reunion of the family that had been separated by shackles, whose joy had been obscured by the darkness of prison cells. Likewise, tongues utter prayers for the healing of the wounded and injured who fall in the field of confrontation, as people rush to donate blood, check on them, and defend them.

إِنَّهَا الصُّوَرُ الأَبهى لهذا التآخي، الذي يَمَتارُ بِهِ شَعْبُنَا الفِلَسْطِينِيُّ، وَيَحْفَظُ عَلَيْهِ وَحْدَتَهُ وَتَماسُكَهُ.

These are the most beautiful images of this brotherhood, which characterizes our Palestinian people and preserves their unity and cohesion.
