I looked up Jaffa oranges under google. Here is a little story..first one I found.

I worked for a Palestinian professor at the U.W...(it was a long time ago and I doubt he would remember me). I didn't realize until a few days ago that he had lost an orange orchard. If we Irish are still mourning the loss of a quarter acre of moldy potatoes our ancestors had, how much fresher is this?

His name is Farhat Ziadeh. If anyone is in the Seattle area, there is an inaugural lecture at the University of Washington (I think...) on April 30..Tuesday. It is about poetry or something..but there is going to be a series of lectures in his name. I believe he has established a foundation. You can find more information doing a google search under his name and lecture I presume..or I will post it later...
