The organizers also wanted to allow space for children, a job entrusted to the Palestinian Child Forum.
The Palestine Chronicle interviewed some of the children who were in the audience, asking them what Palestine represented for them and the meaning of their presence at the conference. (See video below ..)
Nora, 11, said:
“For me, Palestine is a very important country, because it hosts Al Aqsa Mosque. But unfortunately, there are also wars. I really hope that one day we can have our land back, it is too important”.
Maryam, also 11, told The Palestine Chronicle:
“I love Palestine and I am here to sing. Because I fear that Palestine could die and this is my way to help my country”.
Fausia, 12, said:
“Palestine is my life. I am here because I care about Palestine and I think if I sing for Palestinian children, I can help them”.

I am from Vancouver,Canada and I heard about the Palestine Conference at Milan,Italy on Sunday.The Right of Return and the end of Israeli Occupation is important for Palestinians everywhere in the world.The majority of people in the world supports the Palestinian People in this fight.The BDS Campaign is doing good work in many places and the Israeli Gov’t is on the losing end of this battle.The support for Palestine will continue until Israeli Apartheid is overthrown.President Maduro of Venezuela is a strong supporter of Palestine and he is fighting against Yankee Imperialism and Canadian Gov’t interference in Venezuela.From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.
President Maduro of Venezuela is a strong supporter .. well that’s the kiss of death from the start.
