Indonesia could achieve independence after spending 350 years under Dutch
schackles. Like Indonesia, India gained independence after centuries of colonial
administration by another European power The British Empire. After Nakba, we
are reminded of the importance of patience and perseverance in the face of
adversity and stand still in our land. Only by that, we will secure our freedom in
one way or another. (Fariz al- Mehdawi)
An enormous number of acrimonious and polarized debates on Palestine status
still exist until today, however, Fariz al Mehdawi, as Former Ambassador of
Palestine in Indonesia spoke on behalf of the Palestinian National Authority that
Palestine is the only country participating in the 1955 Asia Africa Conference
which has not yet become Independent.
This book discussed an unflinching examination of why the Palestinians failed to
win a state of their own in the 20th century during and after British rule. This
book also exposes deeper and more nuanced explanation of the issues and
threats that Palestinian Arabs is facing when the seeds of Israel are sown and
how the Allies and neighbouring Arab Countries has enabled roots and
development of the current conflict while shedding crocodile tears
