Would You Believe 'My Father's Land' 22:10, RTE 1, Thursday 5 December 2002 Salah Afifi made the headlines when he was arrested this summer, imprisoned for 7 days and deported by the Israeli Authorities for taking part in a peaceful protest march in a small town near Nablus. It was Salah's first time to visit Palestine, for him the journey to the West Bank was part of a quest for truth and for his roots. Salah grew up in Portmarnock on Dublin's Northside - Half Palestinian but wholly Irish. This week's Would You Believe hears Salah's story - a very personal insight into his discovery of his Palestinian inheritance. |

This programme will be seriously misleading, there are no Palestinians, Golda Meir said so. How do we even know that this guy is really a Palestinian?
