Rihab Kanaan, a Palestinian poetess, born in Beirut 1959, she used to recite her Patriotic Palestinian poems on Arab T.V. statons, the Intifadah and the Zionist occupation brutal manner to curbing it were the theme of her poems. She was called after the old Arab poetess Al-Khansaa that spent her life lamenting her killed brother with her poems.

During the Lebanon Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 Rihab lost 54 of her family members and relatives. It happened that Rihab's baby daughter. Maimanah, escaped the massacre, and was raised up by her neighbors. Maimanah grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp. Poetess Rihab didn't know that Maimanah was one of the few survivors of the massacre, also no body knew that the mother survived too.

Rihab moved to Tunis and got married there where she lived for 15 years, as the Lebanese authorities did allow her to visit Lebanon.

With the start of the second Intifadah Rabab (Al-Khansaa) started to show up on the Palestinian T.V. station to recite her patriotic poems, and it happened that one of her Sabra and Shatila neighbors saw her reciting her poems, and recognized her from the name, while he had the idea that she met her fate among with the about 2000 martyred victims.. The neighbor advised her daughter who almost flew up with happiness to have at last seen her mother alive.

The Abu Dhabi T.V. station knew of the story and arranged for their meeting on air alive without the knowledge of the mother.

This get together hurt the Zionist murderers and healed the hearts of the mother and daughter as well as all Arabs.

The story of the get together speaks of a bloody tragedy that further condemn Zionist racism and state terrorism.
