00:00 and they beat him and he ran away.

00:04 In his Beirut cafe, Haj Khaled is always watching the TV, which keeps him connected to Gaza

00:11 where his family and friends are.

00:14 We are all deeply wounded.

00:16 There is nothing we can do to help them.

00:18 We pray for their safety.

00:20 May God awaken the consciousness of the Muslim world and all of humanity.

00:26 Like Haj Khaled, many Palestinian refugees in Lebanon watch.

00:30 Powerless, the war and suffering unfold in Gaza.

00:33 The rise of the rebels is like the mountains of Mosiah.

00:38 They are fighting against a military machine, which is the Earth.

00:45 Protesting is the only way Palestinian refugees can fight for their cause.

00:50 My aunt lost 25 family members, including her husband and grandchildren.

00:57 They all died.

00:58 How can I teach my son to forgive?

01:01 The feeling of resentment will only grow stronger in the new generation.

01:07 Young refugees are eagerly joining demonstrations to support the Gaza's people, including a

01:12 group of scouts guided by their leader, Mona Hendawy.

01:17 We teach them the Palestinian national anthem and the history of Palestine.

01:21 We also teach them the importance of our cause.

01:24 We are a united people, despite the distance that separates us.

01:28 God willing, one day we will establish ourselves in Palestine.

01:34 Huda dreams of returning to the land of her grandparents one day.

01:37 Currently, she and her daughters live in a camp near the southern edge of Beirut.

01:45 The Palestinian cause is my ancestors' cause.

01:48 The war scenes on TV strengthen our sense of belonging to Palestine.

01:52 I've experienced many wars in Lebanon, but no country in the world has witnessed a war

01:56 like the one in Gaza, nor massacres of such magnitude.

02:03 For Huda and many other refugees, it's a time to come together and show support for each

02:07 other.

02:08 In the camp streets, the Palestinian flag is prominently displayed, symbolizing their

02:13 shared cause.
