G'at - a refugee in his country

Mr. G'at, is a descendent of a Palestinian family which came originally from a village name "TSubarin"  situated near Binyamina.

During the independence war in 1948, the people of the village escape, because of the battles between the Arab armies and the Jewish force. Most of them left the country to Syria and Lebanon, but G'at father found shelter in the village Bartha, a couple of km. away.

Tsubarin village has being destroy during the war, so G'at father had no choice but to start a new life in Bartha. As an iron man he had good success in business and build a decent home and life in Bartha.

Mr. Rafat Kabaha said that Mr. G'at and his family are totally integrated in Bartha and that most of  the people from Bartha don't know the story of G'at family. The students of Bartha were also surprised by the story.

One of the students ask Mr. G'at if he is angry about what happened to his family in the past. Mr. G'at said that his father was angry but he is angrier than his father. Another student asked him about his children, which are totally integrated in the place, if they also feel this anger. Mr. G'at said that his children are angrier than him and will never forgive or forget the loss of the land.
