You will hear the reporter speaking in \u0644\u063a\u0629 \u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u0635\u062d\u0649<\/b> and the men who work with these tiles speak Palestinian Levantine dialect \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u062c\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0645\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0644\u0633\u0637\u064a\u0646\u064a\u0629.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

I have transcribed and translated the clip so you can read along as you listen if needed, as well as help you answer the comprehension questions that follow.<\/h3>\n

But before we begin, I want to point out that this clip touches on the effects of the\u00a0 1948 Arab\u2013Israeli War which is an extremely important event that took place in Arab history. It is often referred to as \u062d\u0631\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0664\u0668 <\/b>and \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0643\u0628\u0629<\/b>. As an Arabic language learner interested in Arab history \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0627\u0631\u064a\u062e \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a<\/b>, it would be good to know the basic facts surrounding this event.<\/h3>\n

Here is an article and clip by Aljazeera about \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0643\u0628\u0629 <\/b>in Modern Standard Arabic.<\/h3>\n

https:\/\/www.aljazeera.net\/encyclopedia\/military\/2015\/5\/14\/%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%A8-1948<\/a><\/h3>\n

This clip also mentions many Palestinian cities \u0645\u062f\u0646 \u0641\u0644\u0633\u0637\u064a\u0646\u064a\u0629<\/b>. Can you name a few Palestinian cities? If you’re interested in the geography \u062c\u063a\u0631\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629<\/strong> of Palestine, pay attention to these names and refer to the map \u062e\u0631\u064a\u0637\u0629 <\/b>below to see their location.<\/h3>\n

This place is a century old. The last of the local decorative tiles factories and the first in the city of Nablus. This is the work of “Al-Aslan” where the fourth generation is working today, with the same tools, the same technology, and in the same place, with the beauty of its entrance and the splendor of its production. But there is little support for this industry which the occupation is trying to control as an essential part of its control over the Palestinian architectural identity.<\/p>\n

We are the only ones working with these old colorful tiles. It was in Jaffa. My father was working in Syria and Jaffa. The Levant was open. When the 48 war\u00a0 came, (the 1948 Arab\u2013Israeli War) this shop had already been established for a long time. So my father came along and kept it going. My father passed away, my uncles came along, my uncles died, my brothers came along, my brothers died, I came along and I have been working in this trade for about 63 years. I was 10 years old when I learned and I taught my son and my son taught his children.<\/p>\n
