Wabaqeyat Samira -The first novel that was written by a Palestinian writer inside Israel to depict the life of those left behind at home after 1948 Exodus. Many readers from different angels found the book interesting. Maariv, at the time the most popular tabloid in Israel, found it insulting for Israel, the Jewish People, and the Army (in a front page news splash). Dr Mahmoud Ghanayim, Head of the Arab Studies in Tel Aviv University, found it (in an 18 pages long review) “ A history record of a deteriorating society and perverted characters crushed by traditional and corrupt leadership [….] and a prophecy (that this community should) change or downfall”.
