Turmos Ayya, or like what the taxi drivers call it "Texas Ayya," and that’s because 80% of the people there are American citizens, I don’t know why that huge number of the people of Turmos Ayya went to America many years ago, why Turmos Ayya, it's a very huge number for a village like Turmos Ayya. Why that huge number of people who went to the United States, from that specific town?
While we were on the road to Turmos Ayya there was a huge green fields, on right and left of the road the features of the region was filling it out; on the way between Atara and Sinjil there was an old destroyed village; actually it's an incomplete village, that was suppose to be the first new village that built, that would be even before thinking about Rawabi project, but after the second Intifada the Israeli government stopped building that town, and the area still non-durable like destructive town till this day. And we kept going and we reach Wadi Al-Haramyah, where Al-Fjer operation against the occupation have been done in 2002 by a young Palestinian man from Silwad who had an old English gun, he went up on a mountain near Wadi Al-Haramyah, where was a police station was built within the British Mandate, that police station became an Israeli police station, in that day there was eleven soldiers who were killed and five of them were in Serious dangerous injuries.
We reach Turmos Ayya and started our walk with the guide and the teacher and we went to the local council of the village and the president of the council started to talk about the village and he was describing the whole area, he talked about the town's resident's work in agriculture, especially in the cultivation of olives; he also told us about The spring known as Turmos Ayya spring. And that's recently been established in many services, including building schools, development and construction of a hospital and developed many of the services and infrastructure. And he talked about the Legitimacy court which near the headquarters of the hospital to serve the people of the town and surrounding towns Seeking municipal hard to open the Office of the Palestinian Interior Ministry For the establishment of an international sports stadium project. And the total population of about 10000 people, of whom about 4500 lives in the Diaspora An area of eighteen thousand acres Surrounded by the territory of the villages changer, Jalud, Sinjil, Almazra'a Alsharqya, Khirbit Abu Falah.
While we were walking between the olive trees on our way to the Equestrian Club, and that’s near Al-Mazra'a Al-Sharqya, we saw an old man and his wife, the old man was carrying his shovel, putting it on his shoulder, and his wife, that old woman, she was carrying a huge bag on her head; actually that sight is rare in Turmos Ayya, because these days you can only see the tractors, you cant see the traditional methods of agriculture; and the machines is working everything. Maybe those are old parents for son or more in the United States.
The occupation authorities confiscated part of the territory of the village and established by the settlement "Shilo", and the one can see the settlement on the top of the hills, I felt so sorry and thought that also if you was carrying the American citizenship, the occupation will not stop stealing your land and stop building the settlements on your land.
