In 1971, Golda Meir issued a decision to demolish the village of Prophet Samuel and displace its people after she stood on Mount Prophet Samuel, the highest mountain in Jerusalem, overlooking the breathtaking view. She said in the subsequent government session, “Despite some problems, this place is very suitable for building a second Savion.” “Savion” is a settlement established in 1951 on the ruins of the village of Abbasiya - Jaffa District for the upper bourgeois class of Zionists, and it is the entity’s richest settlement to date.

The oral history of the northern Jerusalem countryside relates an incident at the beginning of the year 1971, in which a villager was running up the village road towards Jerusalem, carrying her feverish infant, to the Armenian pediatric clinic, “Kirkashian,” at the “French Hill” junction, or “Kerkshian Junction,” as the people of the region knew it, while she looked around anxiously. A military convoy coming from Jabal al-Nabi Samuel passed by, and suddenly the convoy stopped next to it, and the “Civil” car opened its window, and an old woman appeared from behind her, asking one of her companions to ask the villager about her eagerness? Then she opened the door of her car and invited her to get in to take her to the doctor. After an intense psychological struggle and fear for her crying, feverish infant, the villager got into the car and sat next to the old woman. When she reached Jerusalem Street - Ramallah, she asked to get out of the car quickly, and when she returned to the village, the news had spread that The Jews kidnapped her and her baby before she wasted it by telling the strange story!


After a while, the villager will recognize the image of “Al-Tashranibah” (the hag) as she called her, with the big nose that “could lack patience” (the size of a cone of the patience fruit), as she used to describe her, as none other than Golda Meir, and as for the feverish infant, he will survive, he will grow up, he will be imprisoned, and he will be tempted by knowledge. enemy close up,
He will become in love with the mountain of the Prophet Samuel!
