My cousin Maurice has asked me to post some pictures of the neighbourhood - so this post is dedicated to you cousin!


This house is 2 doors down from our apartment. There are unconfirmed rumours that it once belonged to Golda Meir (fourth Prime Minister of the State of Israel, 1969 - 1974), and before that to Edward Said - a well know Palestinian American theorist and activist who passed away in 2003 after a long battle with cancer.


To me, its the house of my neighbours...and we cherish it deeply.

You would be a very good neighbour, keep smiling, the questions others ask varies from place to place, many are not too direct.

Hey Daniel, I just watched a documentary at the Palestine Film Festival in London about Edward Said, and the film maker took us on a journey trying to find the house in Jerusalem where Said was born. It didn't look like this one in the picture though. The film didn't mention the address, but it said that after Said's family had to leave Jerusalem in 48, it was occupied by Martin Buber, the Chilean embassy and later some Christian Zionist organisation. So the rumours about this specific house probably aren't true, but the above information might help you find the Said family's house.
