Abstract
Since an early period of the twentieth century, the Palestinian issue with the usurped Israelis has been in the forefront on the Arabic and international level. By the wrong people in the wrong moment, the Palestinian land were occupied by the Jews after what came to be known Belfour Promise in 1917, after the Ottoman Empire collapse, to be exact. Since then, the usurp Zionists occupy Palestine and realize that the original people; Palestinian Arabs would reject the voluntary abandonment of their homeland. So they hardly worked with all their power to occupy the land and cleanse its people. As a result, Palestinian people find themselves dislocated and abolished from their own motherland. The Palestinian issue has been the central concern on the supranational level; and hardly find any Arabic literary work without intimation to the Zionist colonization for the Arab land in Palestine. Zionism and the Zionist character have occupied a large portion in most of the Palestinian and Arabic, political, cultural and literary productions, particularly the post-colonial literature and the establishment of the Palestinian armed struggle. This paper explores the Palestinian –Israeli conflict in Ghassan Kanafani’s Returning to Haifa. It exposes the bloody and ugly face of colonization on the psyche of the relocated Palestinians who have been under horrible and cruel destiny. In short, it shows the suffering of the relocated and exiled Palestinians out of their homelands as portrayed in Returning to Haifa
